- Here are some of the numbers culled from the patent #5,018,180 by Kenneth
- Shoulders, section 31, column 67/68(no page number).
-
- input power: 1KV thru 1500 ohms = 667 (P = I^2 R)
-
- output power: 2 Kv thru 200 ohms = 20,000 (P = I^2 R)
-
- ratio of output to input: 20,000 / 667 = 30
-
-
- input pulse width #1 = 5 ns
- input pulse width #2 = 0.001 ns
-
- output pulse width = 16 ns
-
- energy conversion factor with 5 ns input pulse:
-
- (16 / 5) * 30 = 96 times more output than input
-
- (output width/input width) * ratio of output power to input power
-
- energy conversion factor with 0.001 ns input pulse:
-
- (16 / 0.001) * 30 = 480,000 times more output than input!!!!!!
-
-
- These numbers seem quite amazing. I hope that they can be confirmed.
-
- In column 69, Shoulders mentions that the "source of the energy appears
- to be the zero point radiation of the vacuum continuum."
-
- Would anyone care to comment on the numbers?
