  • The unshown laptop power supply would be drawing harder while the shown is connected?

  • @AussieMatters I think it probably does but the joulethief is not a large load so i don't think it would go up much but the easiest way to find out is with one of those power monitor plugs which i don't have but it is an interesting question that you ask.Cheers.Jonny

  • в ччем прикол то *SCRATCH*

  • @kdc43 There is **NO** extra energy. This is just a wasteful voltage step-up circuit using a massive amount of unnecessary parts and confusion.

    .

    Energy has to come from other energy by conversion.

    .

    When investigated by people that understand metering instruments it always turnes out the readings are not understood, perpetuating this OverUnity lie to uneducated suckers.

    .

    Lutec 1000 is a prime example of a SCAM for the last couple of decades that SCAMMED many of 100 sof thousands dollars

  • Hi kdc43.The joulethief circuit ramps the usb port voltage up which is around 5.25v and i store that in a cap.The Bedini fan runs of the cap and charges the Big battery.I don't think there is any extra energy,i am just utilising and manipulating what energy is there.It is an interesting way to charge a battery though.Thanks for your interest.Jonny

  • @jonnydavro So where is the extra energy coming from?

  • @jonnydavro well, i really wanna know that is really gonna charge the batteries first. then' i'll make one. i don't wanna waste money you know !

  • @maxinpains It would be a lot more satisfying for you if you build your own motor.A Bedini fan would be a good starter motor or the daftmans motors are great too.Try it and if you get stuck,let me know.Jonny.

  • @jonnydavro Can you make me a small bendini motor that charges 12 car battery? send it for me i'll pay it. i wanna check the things out if it's true or what.
