Lawrence,
You answered my question across the great divide:
The tests that I would like to do if I visit Sterling Allan in Utah when he has his 5KW home generator
1. Capture the waveforms at the various appropriate connections. This experiment will tell us when and where the lead-out energy enters the system.
2. A calorimeter type test. The simplest is to boil away water. We can easily determine the exact amount of water that turned to steam. That will require considerable energy - much more than could be supplied by the four 12V batteries.
3. Repeat the home appliances test. This will demonstrate that the average household can use such a device. I shall bring a potential licensee with me. He is more interested in selling it than the technical details.
4. Try to feed the energy back to the grid and see whether a faster payback is possible. This will be a strong selling point.
5. See if the unit can be placed on an electric car to recharge the car batteries. This will be of great interest to the Group who claimed to have developed such technology. They have a demonstration car that I shall drive when I go back to Hong Kong.
I have confidence that all the above will provide positive results. The potential licensee is already doing some basic homework - getting component price quotes, identifying factory space, talking to their investors etc.
You need to be real here, and many of your points are a complete flight of fancy that are not realizable.
What you need is a multimeter, preferably a true-RMS multimeter, and a clamp-on ammeter. An oscilloscope is optional.
You also need one or two oven heating elements and the wires and connections to connect it to the device. If the device comes with European 220-VAC sockets, then go get some European 220-VAC plugs. The end of the oven elements terminate in standard tab connections. You just need the standard insulated oven wire that terminates in the mating connectors. The connectors are called "fast-on" connectors. All of this stuff would be available at any appliance repair store or service center.
You will also need some building bricks or concrete cinder blocks to support the hot oven elements. If you do the test indoors you will need a fan to blow the hot air outside.
Here is the eBay search for "broil element:"
http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p5197.m570.l1313&_nkw=broil+element&_sacat=See-All-CategoriesYou can see that you can get elements for about $20. You need an element that works with 220 VAC which will be no problem. The power rating for a broil element (or a regular lower oven element) is usually between 1.5 and 2 kilowatts. So, let's suppose that you get two 2-kilowatt broil elements.
The test: Wire up two broil elements to the Green Power SA unit. Turn the unit on and monitor the voltage with your multimeter and the current with your clamp-on ammeter. Calculate the power dissipation and verify that is is somewhere between 4 and 5 kilowatts.
Then you just sit and watch. Watch the red glow from the oven broil elements and feel the infrared heat on your clothes and your skin. Roast some marshmallows if you want to. Let the system run for at least 10 times the energy storage capacity of the batteries in the device. Preferably much longer because it's supposed to be a magic free energy box! Let it run for days non-stop.
That is the REAL TEST Lawrence. Forget about everything else you said, you are fantasizing. Get REAL.
If you can't do this simple setup then get someone that can help you do it. Be honest with yourself about your electrical skills. I don't want you burning yourself or electrocuting yourself. I am pretty sure that Sterling would not be capable of doing it.
Repeat: Test the device by hooking it up to some big dumb electric oven elements and wait. That's all there is to the test.
With two weeks worth of preparation and working with Sterling, getting pictures of the device, etc., you should be able to go visit Sterling with all of the parts ready for connection and within one hour you could be running the test.
There is also a Plan B which was mentioned before: Buy four European 220 VAC hair blow dryers, the models that are rated at 1200 Watts. Hook four of those up to the device and make your power measurements, etc. That will be perfectly good also, with less chance of getting shocked or burned. The trade-off is that it will be noisy.
