I'm on thin ice with that question, so all I can say is it is connected, but not in the normal way. All the battery energy is dissipated as heat, not KE.
Two things, neither one a question (I realize you're standing on thin ice with an NDA).
1) I hope you haven't given them any money. If you have, I'd suggest that you hold off throwing any more in after it. Honest or not, where I'm sitting their future doesn't look bright. (I'm good at recognizing bad investments, by the way -- I loaded up on building stocks exactly at the peak of the market, I bought CanWest stock just before they filed for bankruptcy, I bought Silly Graphics stock just before they filed for bankruptcy ... like a moth with a lightbulb, I can spot a bad investment miles away ...)
2) It can be very difficult to determine exactly where the energy's going when looking at an electromagnet driven by either AC or pulsed DC. An assertion that it's "all going into heat" can be easy to believe but the devil is always in the details with EM fields, and it's easy to overlook an unexpected but vital coupling between components. So, beware -- any analysis of a complex system of this sort is automatically suspect, just because mistakes are so easy to make.
Like the rotating lever paradox of SR, a small number of components does not necessarily prefigure an easy analysis.
Hoyt -----Original Message----- From: OrionWorks - Steven V Johnson [mailto:[email protected]] Can it be conclusively proven (at least beyond a reasonable amount of doubt) that the battery is in no way connected to the actual running of the ORBO device?
