Heat your home for less, OU

I want to share (again) this very instructive video of someone very creative.

Is it OU ? Imo it is ... take 30w from an alternative energy source and use +250w output.

Easy to built and cheap, also easy to scale up. If you check his youtube channel many other useful things can be found and use together with setup shared in video.

Any other power source can be considered, even your grid supply, if just a reduction of energy draw from the grid is intended.

That power meter cannot handle high crest-factor waveforms. The Mazilli oscillator generates them at its input.
Watt is Volt times Amp only for DC.

I wonder if Tesla bifilar coil can be used as capacitor ?

I wonder if Tesla bifilar coil can be used as capacitor ?

Yes. When the four wires of the pancake coil are separated, its capacitance can be measured with a capacitance meter.
If you want to increase its capacitance, you can use copper foil and Mylar tape to make pancake coils.

Thank you so much for sharing with Classic.

If you put water in an insulated rice cooker, it is easier to measure.
Water can be convectioned, so the temperature of the water in the pot is not much different.
If there is 1000mL of water in the pot, the water temperature will increase by 10 degrees Celsius within the 100sec period.
Water gets at least 42,000 joules, or 42,000 watt-seconds.
It is to continuously input 420W electrical power heating in 100 seconds.

I don't know if the possible OU effect in the video is achieved by Tesla pancake coils or by heated sand.

Thank you!

There are many ways to heat your house for free.

Buy a cryptocurrency mining computer. The mining computer generates lots of heat as a byproduct. If the cryptocurrency mined pays for the electricity used then we get the heat for free.

Below the bitcoin calculator shows were losing 54 cents per day but were gaining 3000w of heat 24 hours a day. 3000 watts converts to 10,200 btu/hr so it's like running a 10,000 btu heater 24/7. If you have a 100,000 btu/hr furnace but it only run 15 minutes an hour that's 25,000btu/hr. The crypto heater is close to half that at 10,000btu/hr but the heat is free.

Of course the crypto miner is around $3000 similar to a new furnace installation. However you only pay once for the crypto heater and the heat is nearly free from that point on.

I don't get this, AC. If you buy it, you have to plug it into your domestic electricity which is charged to you quarterly.

[Verpies]

You can sell crypto quarterly, too.

Perhaps some one could invent a way of burning old threads that dont work, it could make a lot of hot air !
On the other hand I havent tried it and 95 percent of this stuff is a scamb or trick, your risk.

Think of it this way, we use our residential electricity to mine bitcoin which has a present value around $36,000 per bitcoin. If the value of the bitcoin we mined pays for the electricity we used to mine the bitcoin we break even. However the bitcoin miner generates a huge amount of waste heat as a byproduct while operating and the heat is free if we break even financially.

Here is an analogy, imagine you had a website that generated $100/month in profit and your computer operating the website used $100/month in electricity. You break even financially, $100 profit and $100 expense, but all the heat your computer generated during the month is free. The more computers and websites you operate the more heat you generate which is free. Ergo, our computer generates heat regardless of whether it does something useful or not, why not use the heat?.

Most have trouble with this concept because it is abstract or operates indirectly. Our mind is not really our own and tends to concentrate on what it thinks is popular or important. Society trains us to look at everything in a certain way just like them, ie. brain washing.

With all due respect, i just want to ask few questions: if someone is in need to reduce their bills for heating when cold weather is coming, would they just spent £3k for a crypto miner ? Also it seems that you forgot to add maintenance cost to your crypto for let's say 5 years to compare all costs involved in solution as in youtube video and solution that you propose instead. Where the solution in video shared with kindness would cost under £200 presumably buying everything new where wire cost seems to be the higher bill.

Also, i can't see any OU in solution with crypto miner ... but probably is more interesting this way you propose instead.

So, why someone always divert attention and switch direction of threads in such manner ?
No need to answer, it was just an observation and probably i need to be more quiet.

The question was how to Heat your home for less.

If your looking for a cheaper option I used to paint cardboard flat black and place it on the inside of my windows with a southern exposure. Make sure you have a 1" space between the cardboard and glass with a few (four 1" holes) near the top and bottom to circulate the heated air. The Sun radiates about 1000w per square meter so a 1m x 1m window is like a 1000w heater in direct sunlight. Four windows would generate near 4000w in direct sunlight which is equivalent to 13,600 btu/hr.

Excelsior had a good idea and if you placed a 300w solar panel next to your window you could generate electricity. A 300w panel is roughly 1.3 square meters so it could also generate around 1000w of heat with a dark colored solar panel. Now the total energy output is 1300w per square meter in direct sunlight not 300w. You see I just tripled the "energy output" just by moving the solar panel to a better location.

It seems that everybody ignore the point i mentioned that any other power source can be used. Where solar input used in the system showed in the video is just to show is working and how is working.

Further improvements can be done easy in terms of power source than amplification if someone want to make a true free energy over unity device.
My preference not to use solar or wind for power generation is based on their unreliability as they might not be available 24/7 365 and i would choose a different input like Joel Lagace (his latest discovery/invention, Jes Ascanius as we don't need too much power as input, where amplification and efficiency is done after the input.
Also in terms of load or heating element precisely a different solution should be employed for a much larger output capable to truly provide power for the whole household without the need to dramatic alterations of existing systems in place.

I can't and i won't go any further than this as there is no real interest and more diversions is added constantly.

Probably this will attract more accusations of false claims or whatever and i really am fed up.

I wish you all good luck in your enterprise.

[Paul-R]

If the value of the bitcoin we mined...

But what is the likelihood?

I now see the argument which can be used on the National Lottery., Is there a way to calculate the chances of mining anything?

[Classic]

For your information: I have locked this topic to avoid more pollution.

Feel free to open another topic without polluting this one, in near future I may add more info if there is any interest.

If you are suggesting that the setup presented in the youtube is a scam or trick i would like to hear why you think this, or what methods have you employed for calculus to prove, as i have replicate and works, although i have used a different power source.

I have seen you stomping some other topics and doing pretty much same, creating diversions and distractions.

And to be honest anyone can simply test this setup if there is desire as costs associated are minimal, only difficulty would be to wind correct those bifilar spiral flat coils ... they are a pain if you don't have skills.

Topic is now open again for discussions only on topic, not for more pollution.
