no, this is an overcorrection. he did not invent electric incandescence as a light source. he DID invent a “bulb” that could facilitate incandescence as a sealed device. all invention is incremental like this. that doesn’t make him a fraud.

hey now, don’t go comparing Elon to Edison… that’s not fair to Edison! at least he actually introduced a novel product or two to the American market

I definitely wouldn’t go that far, he did still basically refuse to pay Tesla when contracted to design a motor. but yes, Edison wasn’t nearly as black-&-white as Tesla fans say. the recent trend of insisting that he stole the incandescent bulb is especially false.

fire. and also water. way too much water.

except that solar power solves a real problem & is meaningfully different from coal-fired power as a technology. I did not ask for a machine that injects a summarization of one million peoples' opinions into my daily online life. I do not care who owns this weird machine. I don't need it.

why not use capacitors with the RegenX machine? if it really runs with >100% efficiency on a battery, it should do the same with a starting capacitor & no bulk storage. mystery of the Lockridge device solved!

so the “now what?” would be that people need to recognize that they often read things online with the intent to disagree with them, and they should instead start doing the opposite? is this correct?

I love ya TC, but… how exactly is this supposed to work?
ok, so you’ve demonstrated that argument-bait will successfully bait arguments. now what?

looks like that thing has 8 rotor magnets in the vid, so it should achieve 1kHz at around 7.7k rpm. approximating the rotor as a 2/3rd meter aluminum disc & assuming the drive motor is at least 80% efficient, it should only take around 100J to bring it up to speed. why not use a capacitor?

yes that is how compound LC elements work. inter-winding capacitive coupling is a feature of all switchmode transformers too.

if the RegenX generator supplies enough to power to keep the battery voltage from falling, then the batteries aren’t doing anything. get rid of em. why would a >100% efficient machine need batteries?

why is it that these guys always have the most roundabout way of measuring >100% efficiency? just plug the thing into itself.

you’re confusing increased impedance with increased efficiency. less opposing flux causes primary impedance to go up (this is why transformers draw almost no power when unloaded), but since that’s inherently accompanied by a decrease in primary current, the magnetic field weakens too.

additional cores don’t “redirect” the field, they reduce flux density. analogize it to resistors & electric current: if you add a resistor parallel to an existing one, the current through the new one doesn’t replace the current through the existing one; it simply becomes a new current path.

I must’ve read about these marvelous inventions at some point in my research as well. small world. can you believe they’re used in the operation of novertrunnions now??

this needlessly adds flux loss to a toroidal core though. a regular toroidal transformer with 2 secondaries would already have higher coupling between the secondaries, vs an EI core.

I don’t think magnetic flux will voluntarily “split” like that. an air gap in the inner magnetic circuit would force it to, but that gap will also reactively store energy & make a mess of your power factor.
also like… your description of how it works implies a lamp could be lit forever:

this confused me for a sec, cuz “energy harvesting” is a real term in electronics applications research, and generally only refers to things which would 𝘯𝘰𝘵 be viable as grid-attached sources lol

with all due respect, this just isn’t true for everyone. some life circumstances can make socializing offline impractical, and some kinds of neuroatypicality can allow someone to get more out of socializing online than you. humans are too complex for one-size-fits-all advice like this.
