2010 Zero Power Factor Transformer For Christmas Movie!

[Galv140577]

Does increaing the voltage slightly cause the power factor to drop because it makes the core saturated so that no back-EMF can get through?

[ThaneCHeins]

@Galv140577 Yes. Cheers Thane

Hi Thane, what if you took two toroids, one primary on each, sandwiched them together, connected the primaries in parallel so that the flux are in opposite, then wrap one secondary around the two toroids, possibly with some extra turns on just one of the cores, would that give the same effect?

[ThaneCHeins]

@nilrehob,

Can you send me a picture and save 1000 words?

Thanks

Thane

@ThaneCHeins, just did, thanks!

@ThaneCHeins, I sent You two pics, but You haven't responded, did You get the pics?

Hi Thane,

well done video, but for the final proof, please try to run the unit from

a 12 Volts battery via an inverter and measure the input into the inverter

from the 12 Volts battery. This way you can really see, if the distorted current waveform of your unit will not introduce any errors in the power factor calculation...

If your overunity transformer is real, it should draw less than 10 Watts from the 12 Volts battery to the inverter running your system with 15 Watts of light output.

Thanks

AMAZING video!!! Will you share the plans to duplicate it? How many turns on the coils, how did you make the core, what frequency are you using? is input ac or dc? so many questions.......do you have the plans uploaded or for sale anywhere?

[smokyatgroups]

Zero power factor is when Voltage on the primary is at maximum +ve or -ve excursion the current is at zero and also when current in primary is at maximum either positive or negative then the voltage is at zero. ie Volts and Amps are 90 degrees out of phase with each other. See relationship between Sine wave and Cosine wave. By delaying or advancing either E or I by 90 degrees with respect to the other can approach Zero power (ignoring I*I *R +eddy). Also see Witts Delay Line thingy on here.

[scienculo]

Thane, how do you power the primary of the transformer? Do power it directly from the grid using a transformer or you are using a sinusoidal power supply?

@ThaneCHeins My apologies.

[KyubiUnlimitedPower]

@neuraxon77 LOL Do you know what Power factor mean, I don't think...

Power in AC circuit U*I*CosPhi(PowerFactor) 171V at 0.551 CosPhi 0 = 171*0.551*0 = 0 Do the maths... A transformer works only with AC input so P=U*I is not true here...

[User2718218]

@KyubiUnlimitedPower The equation only applies if your voltage and current waveforms are sine waves. In this case that's not true. The current waveform is like a triangle wave and the voltage waveform is a super-distorted sine wave. This is because the primary core is fully saturated within a small portion of the sine wave.

great stuff. 0 point transformers ! lovely

nice multi-colored sine waves ! : )

[KyubiUnlimitedPower]

Good video, what the number of turn of the primary vs the secondaries, you need 171 Volts to obtain 10 volts at full load, so this is a 17/1 ratio. Do you you saturate heavily the primary, I think you know saturation is the not a good thing for a transformer, saturation cause also drawing more current (real power not reactive). It seems more you load the secondary, at a certain moment the primary start to draw some real power, I think this is due to BEMF start to couple again with the primary,

[KyubiUnlimitedPower]

so I think you can avoid this more reluctance difference between the primary and secondaries... Your principe is the same as Alexander Frolov in russia with his F transformer, they use magnetic decoupling and BEMF cancellation in the outer path. One more proof I become more and more interested to replicate this in high level of power 220 volts/220Volts transformer... Good luck in your research !!!

[FREEGARYMCKINNON]

@KyubiUnlimitedPower i dont think it is a 17/1 ratio. i think its better than that.

he can pull more load for no input increase at certain ranges. he could place a generator on the load if he wanted. can you explain what reactive power is for me ?

[KyubiUnlimitedPower]

@FREEGARYMCKINNON Reactive power is when the Power Factor is equal to 0. In AC power when you place a coil or a capacitor in the circuit the power go to the capacitor and return on the source alternatively... so no real power is consomed. Reactive power is mesured in Volt-Ampere-Reactive. Ex: 1 Amp at 100 Volts PF is 1, you burn 100 watts (light bulb), 1A at 100V and PF is 0.5 you burn only 50 watts and you have 50 VAR, and 1A at 100V and PF is 0 you burn 0 watts but you have 100 VAR.

[k4zep]

With 94.05 watts of power being dissipated in the primary nominally/constantly (171VAC X .55A), do you find heating a problem over time in your transformer winding and core? As you have to increase V in with increased load to maintain indicated zero reactive input power,isn't the nominal output real power increase reflected in the input power ? It would appear that there is some mechanism of power transfer from input side to output side, real or not. V in change shows this. Just curious.

[harpbloke]

brilliant work Thane. this looks like its going to be the future of transformers. i can envisage a flower shaped transformer, with the primary at the center and many secondaries around it.

thanks always for showing some of your great work.

happy christmas to you and may your year ahead be a beauty.

[sirtwizt]

what does zero power factor mean? I mean... a low power factor is bad right? so what does zero power factor mean?

[sirtwizt]

what does zero power factor mean?

[smokyatgroups]

Congratulations on this great achievement..... wow, I wonder does temperature drop in the main core in order to supply the output energy you are getting! Thanks for sharing it with us all.
