March 19, 2013 - DLE-TEST17 : Here is a new serie of measurements that I have conducted on my replication of the Bi-Toroïd Transformer (BiTT v1.5) fully based on the BiTT from Potential Difference Inc. Canada. This transformer has already been tested in the DLE-TEST05, in this new test, I have connected a 2 Ohm non inductive 10 W resistor at the outputs. The ouput power dissipated by Joule effect in the resistor is calculated with the voltage measured accross it with a digital scope Fluke 123. The power at the BiTT input is calculated by measuring the voltage, the current and the cosinus f.

Below the setup used for the TEST-DLE17 :

March 20, 2013 - DLE-TEST17b : Here is a new loading test on the BiTT v1.5. The load resistance has been replaced by a strong headlight for bike (High Power CMS LED) connected via a switch to the BiTT secundaries outputs.

I have used a bike headlight WhiteEye (240 lumens). It is powered through a DC rectifier bridge.

We observe that the input voltage and current on the primary remains inchanged and also that the Cos (f) doesn't change significantly when the headlight is lit or not.

Comments :

My replication v1.5 of the BiTT from PDI is not yet overunity. Today, in my BiTT replication, there are a lot of hysteresis losses and eddy losses due to the type of ferromagnetic material that I have used. Un good choice of a specific ferromagnetic material with low losses will permit to greatly increase the efficiency of the BiTT. We can observe that when a 2 Ohms resistor produces 3.06 Watts at the BiTT output or when a high power bike headlight is used, the phase shifting between the voltage and the current doesn't change much. The BiTT is really not a conventional transformer...

Below the video of the full tests done on the BiTTv1.5
