The Rosemary Ainslie Energy-Collection System
For many years now, people studying science-related subjects in universities around the world, have been told things which are at best, out of date, and at worst, deliberately incorrect. For example, a common starting point for analysis is to assume "a closed system" although it is perfectly clear that there is no such thing on the planet.
With few exceptions, calculations are generally based on the assumption that energy does not flow into a system or a device from the outside. The influence of sunlight is one of the few external inputs recognised, and it's effect on solar panels, producing rainfall, causing winds, etc. are admitted because these things are so obvious to the average person that there is no denying them.
These same people fight tooth and nail to persuade people that "space" is empty and that there is nothing in it. This is, of course, ridiculous, since light passes through space, as do radio waves, X-rays, cosmic particles, and other things. It is certainly a weird notion that distant objects can affect each other if there is absolutely nothing in between them. It would be a neat trick to explain the effect of gravity if there is absolutely nothing in the gap between them.
The matter has long since left the realm of common sense as the British scientist Harold Aspden has demonstrated with laboratory measurements, the presence of an "unknown" field which acts like an incompressible gas. What his work has demonstrated is now known as "the Aspden Effect" and the experimental results are as follows:
Harold was running tests not related to this subject. He started an electric motor which had a rotor mass of 800 grams and recorded the fact that it took an energy input of 300 joules to bring it up to its running speed of 3,250 revolutions per minute when it was driving no load.
The rotor having a mass of 800 grams and spinning at that speed, its kinetic energy together with that of the drive motor is no more than 15 joules, contrasting with the excessive energy of 300 joules needed to get it rotating at that speed. If the motor is left running for five minutes or more, and then switched off, it comes to rest after a few seconds. But, the motor can then be started again (in the same or opposite direction) and brought up to speed with only 30 joules provided that the time lapse between stopping and restarting is no more than a minute or so. If there is a delay of several minutes, then an energy input of 300 joules is needed to get the rotor spinning again.
This is not a transient heating phenomenon. At all times the bearing housings feel cool and any heating in the drive motor would imply an increase of resistance and a build-up of power to a higher steady state condition. The experimental evidence is that there is something unseen, which is put into motion by the machine rotor. That “something” has an effective mass density 20 times that of the rotor, but it is something that can move independently and take several minutes to decay, while the motor comes to rest in a few seconds.
Two machines of different rotor size and composition reveal the phenomenon and tests indicate variations with time of day and compass orientation of the spin axis. One machine, the one incorporating weaker magnets, showed evidence of gaining strength magnetically during the tests which were repeated over a period of several days. This clearly shows that there is an unseen medium which interacts with everyday objects and actions.
Bob Boyce of the USA developed a toroidal transformer pulsing system which he uses for the electrolysis of water. His system is notable for the fact that he gets efficiency levels more than 1,000% that of Michael Faraday who set the standard for university teaching on the subject. One of the most likely explanations for this seemingly massive outperforming of Faraday's maximum possible gas output results is that Faraday was perfectly correct and excess energy is flowing into Bob's system from the outside.
There is extremely strong evidence that this is so, because five independent experimenters have demonstrated this inward energy flow, using Bob's toroidal transformer to charge batteries. One man who lives in South Africa has a young daughter who drives her small electric car around each day. The car is powered by one 18 AmpHour lead-acid car battery. There is nothing unusual about this as these miniature cars are readily available around the world. There is also nothing unusual that the child's father charges up the battery overnight, so that the little girl can drive around the next day. What is most unusual is the fact that the battery charging is powered by the battery which is being charged. According to university teaching, the charging is a "closed system" and so it is not physically possible for that to happen.
The little girl does not know this and drives around happily each day. The battery in her car has been recharged this way more than thirty times. This would appear to be direct evidence of energy flowing into the charging system from the outside. Achieving this is not an easy thing to do, quite apart from the fact that most sensible people are very reluctant to have the output of any system fed back to the input of that same system as that is positive feedback which easily leads to power runaway. The preference is to have one twelve volt battery charge a separate forty-eight volt battery bank because doing that avoids any possibility of excessive feedback.
As with most systems, the practical details are a key feature. In this case, the toroid is a MicroMetals 6.5 inch iron-dust toroid which is precision hand-wound with three separate windings of solid, silver-plated copper wire with a teflon covering. These three windings are pulsed in turn with a complex waveform signal, creating a highspeed rotating magnetic field which has no moving parts. A rotating magnetic field like that has long been known to produce excess power with a RotoVerter system constructed from two off-the-shelf 3-pahse motors, having a power output well in excess of the power input needed to make it run.
This inflow of outside power is a feature of Rosemary Ainslie's heating system. Rosemary has designed and laboratory-tested a heating system which can have substantially more output power then the input power needed to run it. She achieves this by pulsing a heating element in an unusual way using this circuit:
Most circuits which draw energy in from the local environment, generally need to be tuned to achieve resonant operation. It is also found that a waveform rich in harmonics is needed to produce the best results. For example, Ronald Classen recently produced an analysis of the operation of Bob Boyce's electrolyser toroid pulsing. Bob's circuit generates three separate waveforms, one at about 42.8 kHz, and two harmonics, one at around 21.4 kHz and the other at about 10.7 kHz. He examined the operation with the two harmonics slaved exactly to the master frequency and then with the two harmonics free-running and not quite synchronised, so that a random pattern of harmonic pulses were generated. Surprisingly, he found that the random arrangement gave much higher gains than the "precision" circuit.
The same sort of situation is found here in the Ainslie circuit as very precise adjustment of the "Gate" preset resistor "R1" has a major effect on the circuit performance while the other two, R4 and R7, are used to adjust the frequency of the pulses and the ratio of "On" time to "Off" time. Like almost every other circuit which produces a greater power output than the input power required to make it operate, very careful adjustment is needed. The characteristics of the "Load" heating element "R3" are also very important. With some configurations, there is no excess power generated, while with others there is a very marked increase in power and the prototype apparatus produced power outputs in excess of four times the input power.
A quick glance at the circuit diagram makes it appear that there is no significant connection between the NE555 timer chip and the IRFPG50 FET transistor. This is not the case as the arrangement as shown generates transients which modify the oscillation of the NE555 chip. This is presumably due to the nature of the current draw by the gate of the FET or through induced currents caused by the pulsing of the inductive load heater coil "R3". We tend to think of FET transistors as having next to no current flowing into the gate, but the IRFPG50 FET can draw up to a massive 6 amps for the Gate to Source current flow. The NE555N chip supplying that gate current (with no current-limiting resistor between the two devices) can supply a maximum of only 200 mA (or possibly 300 mA at a push) which is only 5% of the possible current draw by the FET. The circuit of the NE555N chip is:
From this it appears that the direct coupling of the output could allow some modification of the chip timing and waveform if the output current draw is well above the design value, the internal resistors preventing destruction of the chip and reducing the effect so that it just modifies the functioning of the chip.
This is also suggested by the fact that the adjustment of the "Grid" variable resistor, which controls the NE555N current draw, is the most critical adjustment of the circuit. Supporting that idea is the fact that the required chip operation does not take place if the "Grid" resistor setting is too high or too low. Presumably, the setting has to be an exact amount so that the NE555N chip operation is altered to make it generate waveforms not envisaged by the chip designers. The physical separation of the "Load" resistor and the circuit board may also be important as there is almost certainly a magnetic feedback element as well.
I would love to tell you that the circuit operates in the way that the circuit diagram would suggest, with the timing and Mark-Space values controlled as expected by the 555 chip designers. However, that is definitely not the case. If the 24V battery is disconnected, then the NE555 chip section of the circuit performs exactly as expected. If the "R1" GATE resistor is at the correct setting and the 24V battery is then connected, the result is that the normal running of the NE555 chip is overridden and the circuit immediately switches into a completely different type of operation. The Mark-Space ratio is forced into an approximately 55% setting and the pulsing rate is bounced to over 500 kHz (well beyond the capability of the NE555 chip, as many actual chips can't even reach 45 kHz in practice) with this waveform:
which you will note has repeating pairs of pulses, neither of which is a square wave. The overall circuit is clearly not operating as an NE555 chip circuit any longer but is oscillating in an unexpected way. This high radiofrequency pulsing produces electromagnetic waves which radiate out from the load resistor, an effect which is seen on a nearby television set. This is not really surprising, as the circuit should really be presented like this:This is because the 10 ohm "resistor R3" is actually a coil of wire. The specification for this component shows that it has a length of 150 mm (6"), a diameter of 32 mm (1.25") and is an air-core coil, wound with 48 turns of resistance wire with a 1 mm gap between each turn. The lack of a core, allows the coil to oscillate at this high frequency, and any coil driven at that frequency radiates radio waves.
It is almost certain that these electromagnetic waves are inducing voltages in the wiring surrounding the NE555 chip circuit, causing it to run wildly outside its design. The wire-wound adjustment resistors are little coils which have the potential for picking up transmitted waves. This pickup mechanism is strongly supported by the fact that only an NE555N chip will operate in this way and three other makes of 555 chip which were tested, failed to produce this runaway action. The higher runaway frequency is important for achieving power gain. Don Smith states that the extra power being drawn into a circuit is proportional to the square of the pulse frequency. If this is correct, then moving the pulse rate up to over 500,000 per second will have a major energy effect and explain why tuning the circuit into this high-speed mode is important.
The practical method of tuning the circuit into its self-oscillating non-symmetrical, power-gaining mode is by monitoring the voltage of the "V1" 24V battery. When the circuit is out of tune, the battery voltage gets pulled down quite noticeably. When the circuit is tuned correctly, there is a slight increase in the battery voltage. If the circuit has been built as described, using an NE555N timer chip and a high inductance load "resistor" coil, then tuning the circuit is performed as follows: Connect a digital voltmeter across the 24-volt power supply and note the exact reading. Set the "ON" preset resistor to its minimum value of zero ohms. Set the "OFF" preset resistor to its maximum value of 10K ohms. These resistors are generally left at these settings throughout.
The "GATE" resistor is now adjusted very carefully, watching the voltmeter reading. As the circuit comes to its best possible tuning, the battery voltage will rise. Pick the resistor setting which gives the highest battery reading. The rise in battery voltage is caused by the inflow of external energy. Some of this flows through the "LOAD" causing heating effects which can be 17 times greater than would normally be expected. Part of the inflowing energy flows back into the power supply, and that flow lowers the current draw from the 24V battery, which in turn, allows it to show a higher voltage reading. This mechanism is exactly the same as described by Tom Bearden when explaining the operation of John Bedini's battery-charging pulse circuits - part into the load and part back into the power supply.
Although it is not mentioned in the Parts List, it is very important to mount the FET transistor on a heat sink as the current flowing through it causes it to heat up. Also important is to use a mica gasket between the FET and the heat sink. A mica gasket is a thin layer of mica which electrically insulates the FET from the heat sink while still acting as an extremely good conductor of the FET heat to the heat sink. This is necessary because the "Drain" pin of the FET is connected electrically to the metal mounting strip of the FET and if the FET is not insulated from the heat sink, then the heat sink acts as a radio aerial and radiates an embarassingly large level of radio waves. The heat sink can be a simple sheet of aluminium, or it can be a commercial finned design of which there are many from which to choose. A suggested physical layout for this circuit is given towards the end of this document, and can be used if you are inclined so to do.
This is a circuit which cries out for replication and investigation by both experienced and inexperienced experimenters. There are no expensive components in the circuit and the circuitry could hardly be any more simple than it is. If this circuit can be scaled up to operate as a household heater it would mean that electrical heating costs could be reduced to a tiny fraction of what they are at the present time. That sort of cost reduction would make a major difference to a very large number of people, which makes this circuit very interesting indeed.

The operating methods which are used in this style of circuitry are describe in considerable detail in a patent application (WO 99/38247) has been filed for this system. Reading those descriptions can be helpful, so here is a digest of part of that patent:
Patent: WO 99/38247 Date: 22nd January 1999 Inventor: Rosemary A. Ainslie
HARNESSING A BACK EMF
ABSTRACT
A method of achieving high efficiency of energy usage which includes passing current through an inductor, causing the current to be repeatedly interrupted, thereby generating a back EMF in the inductor and thereafter, harnessing the back EMF so generated , to supply energy to an energy-receiving or processing device. The frequency of interruptions should be 40 Hz or more and is achievable by rectifying the current. The invention extends to apparatus for harnessing such back EMF and energy generating means comprising an inductor and a current interruptor connected to an energy-receiving device.
FIELD OF THE INVENTION: The invention relates to a method of harnessing back EMF for use in powering a load or replenishing a depletable energy source and extends to apparatus used in performing the method.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION: Conventional switching circuits are well known in electrical energy conversion technology, and switch mode systems have been employed to enhance energy utilisation efficiencies. The concept of absorbing electrical energy released by the collapse of auto-electronic emissions from a discharge tube is disclosed in US 5,449,989. This document discloses a circuit which includes an output port connected to a current sink which is able to absorb at least a substantial portion of such emissions. The current sink may be an electric motor or a secondary battery.The concept of applying a back EMF in electrical circuitry is also known. For example, in US 5,521,476 there is disclosed a control circuit for a disc drive motor, in which back EMF blocking circuitry is employed to prevent dissipation of a back EMF through a power supply. By contrast, publication WO 9,613,892 discloses the use of a back EMF to trigger a response in a control system for a mechanical system, so that driving pulses are generated to accomplish a desired displacement motion.
In the present invention, to achieve high energy efficiencies, greater than unity in relation to a conventional test circuit, a back EMF which is generated in an inductor, is harnessed so as to return energy associated with the EMF, to a depletable energy source which is supplying such a circuit, or to a load included in the same primary circuit as the energy source. It is envisaged that a wide range of electrical supply sources will derive benefit from the invention disclosed below.
A first aspect of the invention is a method of harnessing back EMF in an electrical circuit in order to increase the efficiency of energy usage to 90% or more, (compared to a Resistor-Temperature v Wattage calibration circuit). This is done by arranging the circuit so that it contains an inductor and an energy-receiving device configured so that the current flowing through the inductor generates a back EMF whose energy is used to provide both additional energy to the circuit itself, and the back EMF energy to the energy-receiving device.
In a preferred form of the method, the back EMF is generated by interrupting the current flow through the inductor, ideally, interrupting and restoring the current flow repeatedly and rectifying the current. The rate of interruptions should be at least 40 times per second and preferably 50 or more times per second. The duty cycle of the interruption should be at least 50% and ideally be 75%. That is, the current flow through the inductor is "On" for 50% to 95% of the time and "Off" for 50% to 5% of the time.
In a further preferred form of the invention, a back EMF is generated which is large enough to cause the comparative energy efficiency to be at least unity. This can be achieved by setting and controlling a suitable value for a variable selected from one or more of:
The frequency of interruptions from the wave rectifier;
The duty cycle;
The thickness of the wiring in the circuit;
The efficiency of the inductor core, the value being set in accordance with the operational requirements of the desired application.
In another preferred form of the invention, the energy-receiving device is either an energy-requiring load, and/or an energy storage device, ideally a replenishable source of either DC or AC electrical energy. Ideally, the method also includes providing at least one inductive load associated with each receiving device. The inductor may be a transformer or other suitable inductive device.
A second aspect of the invention is a method of restoring electrical energy to a source, which is done by providing a closed circuit containing a source of electrical energy which passes current through the inductor, creating an extruded magnetic field around the inductor, which field is then collapsed, creating a back EMF which is then fed to the source with an energy usage efficiency factor of 1 or more when compared to a Resistor Temperature Versus Wattage Calibration Circuit.
This feedback of energy can be to an energy-requiring load or to an energy storage device.
In a further preferred form of the invention, the bias-changing mechanism is a wave rectifier and the method of use is to make the wave rectifier output interrupt the electric current.
Ideally, the inductor used should have a solid core which is capable of inducing a magnetic moment associated with a collapsing magnetic field.
The method used in this invention includes selecting a value for: The frequency of interruptions from the wave rectifier; The duty cycle; The thickness of the wiring in the circuit; The efficiency of the inductor core, so that the magnitude of the back EMF generated when the magnetic field collapses, is in a predetermined range which suits the requirements of the energy-receiving device and its intended use.
In one preferred form of the invention, the inductor is a transformer with a primary winding large enough to create sufficient voltage from the back EMF, to feed power back into the circuit. If the current feeding the inductor is AC, then the current interruptor can be a diode or a triac.
A further aspect of the invention is an apparatus comprising an inductor having a core suitable for the generation of back EMF from collapsing magnetic fields, and an electrical circuit containing that inductor, a replenishable energy source, and energy-receiving device and means for changing orbital bias of a magnetic field set up in use and associated with the inductor, both it and the source with variable frequency and variable Mark-Space ratio, being configured to operate the inductor, and arranged so that the magnetic field of the inductor is made to collapse and be restored repeatedly, thereby generating electrical energy, the circuit being capable of conducting the energy and providing it to the energy-receiving device.
A BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
Fig.1 illustrates schematically, a circuit to which the invention may be applied.
Fig2. illustrates an electrical generator which may be used with this invention.
Fig.3A illustrates a control circuit which is described in Example 1 below, and Fig.3B illustrates a test circuit, the performance of which is compared with the circuit shown in Fig.3A. Fig.4 illustrates the test circuit described in Example 2 below.
This is to test the efficiency of the energy conversion as the duty cycle of the FET switch Q1 is adjusted. This circuit includes an inductor 84, which has equal primary and secondary windings and a 350 VA rated core. The circuit also contains a positively-biased diode 86 and other components mentioned below. The tests were conducted with "On" times of 90%, 80%, 70%, 60% and 50% and the results are shown in this table:
Rosemary Ainslie's techniques shown here where the back-EMF pulses are harnessed and used to perform useful functions, achieve COP values from 4 to 17 in tests performed to date.
John Bedini's captured back-EMF battery-charging circuits have been replicated with high-voltage battery banks being charged by one 12V battery and yielding COP=11 results.
The pulse motor design of Robert Adams which utilises the back-EMF pulses and other techniques, reaches COP figures of 8 or higher, depending on the quality of the build and the accuracy of the adjustments.
Thane C. Heins demonstrates on video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RbRPCt1-WwQ&feature=channel a very simple transformer arrangement which produces COP=3.77 a result which you can easily check out for yourself.
Rosemary's neat technique which produces this energy gain has every appearance of being a more easily adjusted method of producing the gains of the Tesla Switch which has to have a substantial inductive load in order to get its COP>1 performance and which is very tricky to adjust.
It should be stressed at this point that it is physically impossible to draw more energy out of a circuit than the energy flowing into that circuit. Energy can't be destroyed or created and you can't have more than 100% of anything, anywhere, any time. But Rosemary Ainslie and others have demonstrated very clearly that carefully designed and operated circuits definitely put out more energy than the user puts into the circuit. I do not know of any way to prove where that extra energy comes from, but it definitely comes from somewhere, flowing into the circuit from outside. However, let's not concern ourselves with trying to discover the source of this extra power and instead, just learn how to capture and use it for our own benefit.
So, let's recap on how Rosemary's circuitry is set up and used. The initial basic circuit which gives an energy gain is:
Here, a mains-powered light bulb has two components connected in its normal circuit. The first component is a diode "D" and the second a transformer "T": The diode has a very low resistance to current flow in one direction and a very high resistance to current flow in the other direction. We tend not to think about it, but the ordinary mains current flowing through a light bulb switches its direction of flow dozens of times per second - actually, sixty times per second in the USA and fifty times per second in most other parts of the world.
Rosemary uses the same technique but adds in a resistor "R" to make sure that the charging current never becomes excessive. The diode "D" converts the alternating voltage in the transformer winding to positive pulses, that is, pulses where the voltage rises above zero volts and never falls below zero volts. This is the sort of voltage which we need for feeding to the positive terminal of a battery.
In this variation, the transformer is wound with one primary and two secondary windings. The magnetic coupling of the transformer core generates copies of the mains waveform in both of the secondary windings. Each are rectified and fed to the battery as before.
All of the Ainslie circuits mentioned so far have used the mains, but there is very considerable scope for circuits and arrangements which do not use the mains at all. Admittedly, a certain amount of electronic construction work is needed, but the results can be very rewarding. For example, instead of charging a battery bank, it is quite possible to charge the battery which is driving the circuit itself.
Here, the signal generator, which is probably just a simple 555 timer circuit, produces a train of pulses with a Mark-Space ratio of more than 50% On time. That signal is used to switch a transistor On and Off in rapid succession. The transistor type is deliberately not shown as it can be an NPN silicon transistor, an FET type of transistor, a Darlington pair, or one of those fancy new IGBT devices. Whatever the type chosen, the lamp will be switched on and off so rapidly that it will light up. The fluctuating current through the transformer "T" will produce an alternating voltage in its secondary winding and that will pass through the diode, resistor "R" and capacitor "C" to charge the battery in spite of the fact that the battery is powering the signal generator circuit and the lamp.
The "heat sink" shown in the diagram above, is just a piece of aluminium bent to raise the centre section slightly and allow good air circulation and clearance for the FET's locking nut. The FET is bolted securely to this plate in order to allow the aluminium plate to let the FET run cooler than it otherwise would. The lamp would be a 12V car type and while many people just solder directly to the bulb as shown here, there is no reason why a bulb socket should not be used. Car accessory shops usually have low-cost "reversing lights" which are a small plastic housing, a bulb socket, a bulb and two pieces of wire already attached to the bulb holder - very convenient, especially since it is very easy to change over to bulbs of different ratings for different tests and the bulbs themselves are cheap.
It's Even More Practical Than It Seemed 70 Years Ago…
🔻 And for the first time in human history, ordinary folks can finally power up anything they need with renewable electricity...while investing a fraction of what the inventor ever thought was possible.
