No, no. I don't agree that there is a real problem yet. Just trying to
make sure we are all on the same wavelength, so to speak.

OK let me ask again - unless I missed one of you messages - do you use
an open wire, Avramenko type of geometry ? or did you follow the Thomas
schematic literally (no open wires)?

Don't forget that Ron Stiffler and several others have put a few hundred
hours into this so far, working out the small details. This could be
merely a case of needing a few adjustments to your basic setup.

I would say, from what I have actually seen on our end (not DrS), that
the difference is closer to a 3X improvement of RF over DC for light
output, taking into account the RF losses (core losses, transistor
heating, etc)... which as you say, cannot easily be discerned by eye and
maybe not without the best available light meter.
My problem is that I am working with another party, who also has his own
views, so it is not often practical to try to confirm everything that
Stiffler does. DrS is a very fast worker and tries many things without
necessarily going back to all the ones which show promise.
We will soon have access to a much better light meter, however, so that
will help. This is a constantly evolving situation and finding a good
"target" for faithful replication has not been easy. For one thing, Dr
Stiffler went through a digression of about 10 days or so (my fault)
trying to optimize the circuit for heat - as opposed to light. This is
because I had arranged for EarthTech to test it using their MOAC
calorimeters.
In the mean time, as fate would have it, another circuit came from
another participant in his group, which has apparently solved that
problem (of lesser heat than expected), so that now he apparently has
both an excess-heat generator and an excess-photon generator.
Bottom line, it will of course be a miracle of biblical proportions, if
overunity is indeed confirmed, lets not minimize the importance and
difficulty of that monumental task, but it looks to me like there is a
decent probability of that in the coming weeks -- even without another
improvement, it will be poised to be confirmed on two fronts with
circuits now operating - both as to heat - with a COP of less than beut
near 2, and more importantly with photon output, which could be at a
much higher apples-to-oranges type of COP.
If we (this is not including DrS, as he has abandoned this approach) can
ever get the "negistor" oscillator up to a higher frequency, then that
may make a huge difference on the primary side. For whatever unknown
reason, there does seem to be something very surprising happening at ~12
MHz.
Why 12 MHz? or is it simply an artifact of that inductor? ... not clear
yet. As you know, the open FCC range at 13.56 MHz is suspiciously close,
but this has been ruled out as a entry way of stray input.
