Stiffler: central claims

Source gap (revised after QE, 2026-10-08): all nine documents are readable (text available), but they are Stiffler's own saved web pages and white papers, so every statement is the inventor's own account (an interested party selling or promoting Stiffler Scientific work). The saved-page figures have now been viewed: the ECAT schematic and scope photos give voltages (TP-1 106 V, TP-2 172 V, TP-3 94.5 V, TP-5 0.31 V p-p, drain 205 V) and the supply panel (25.0 V, 0.33 A = the 8.25 W) but no current trace and no R3 value; the SEC Special Coil "amplification" charts (Figs 11, 13) plot frequencies only and the Fig 15/16 photos hold no data, so "amplification" has no measured magnitude anywhere in the document, and the thermal-bottle result is absent from the page and its images (an anomaly to chase, not a neutral gap). Only the coils.htm images were not viewed (peripheral). Not in the folder and worth obtaining: the "Measurements for SEC Exciters" companion data, the YouTube demonstration video (y9aJohml130), the missing "empirical formula" on SECExciter.htm, any record of the "Advanced Technology Group" of 1993-96 (the 1990 and 1985 dates come from a 2009 forum post), and the bottle-test result. Rosemary Ainslie's documentation is not in this folder but is held, read, in the sister review review/Ainslie-Rosemary-Ann (2002 Quantum article, patent, 2009 reprint). No document in the folder contains an independent measurement or replication; independent critique and replication claims for the Ainslie circuit are recorded in the sister review, each with its stake.

  1. Air-core coil circuits driven by a pulsed MOSFET capture external ("virtual") energy by "Poly-Phasing", giving a power gain: 8.25 W input yielding 18.11 W (gain 2.194) in the 1993-96 ECAT lamp circuit (ECAT page; no measurement method, no replication). The page's accounting is 12 W lamp + about 6 W transformer loss = 18 W against the stated 18.11 W, a 0.11 W difference. The 8.25 W is photographed as 25.0 V x 0.33 A on one bench supply (the text says a 12 V supply and 4.3 kHz, while the lamp-version photos repeat at about 1.1 kHz); the 12 W is a nameplate lamp rating, the 6 W loss is not measured (and the transformer is elsewhere called "cold"), the second source V1 is not counted, and the 90 mA quiescent figure cannot be reconciled with the 8.25 W from the page alone. Origin dates: the page says 1993-96; a 2009 forum post says first tries in 1990 with notebooks from 1985.
  2. Spatial Energy Coherence (SEC): a single-wire-excited coil with an Avramenko diode plug draws on an "Energy Lattice" so that output (lit LEDs and neon lamps, 130-168 V at the free coil end) represents recovered "cohered" energy, expressed as CEC = Uout/Uin (white paper; CEC is defined but never evaluated, and the data are voltages, frequencies and photographs, not an energy balance).
  3. Stacking exciter output stages (AV Plugs) multiplies "excess energy": two plugs double it, three triple it (SECExciter.htm; the doubling example is ordinary capacitor-energy arithmetic with the exponent misprinted by a factor of 10, and the "empirical formula" for the limit is absent from the page).
  4. Energy can be transmitted through one 12 ft wire, with no return conductor, from a 24 V transmitter to a receiver lighting 48 LEDs (Wireless/One-Wire guide; brightness only, no power or efficiency figures; demonstration video not seen).
  5. In Stiffler's calorimetry of the Ainslie MOSFET heating circuit, heat in the water exceeded measured electrical input (CEC 1.319 in one 600 s run: 1580.593 J out, 1198.759 J in), and, in Stiffler's assertion ("I have confirmed"; no waveform shown), the energy returned to the battery by the collapsing inductor is insignificant (ExHeatExp.htm, probably c.2009; his 555 setting of 2.38 kHz and 3.8% matches the Ainslie group's published 2.4 kHz and 3.7%, and the flyback-diode topology is Ainslie's own; the ratio scales with the mass entered and the sensor is unstirred; one run, no calibration, blank or repeat; in cups the ratio fell to about 0.83 above 42 C; page unfinished).
  6. SEC exciters can be measured only with battery-powered, ungrounded instruments behind RF filters, because grounding "will detune the AV Plug to where it no longer will interface with the Spatial Lattice", and field pickup can give "meaningless" readings (SEC Special Coil; Measurement Methods; RF probing of such circuits is unreliable, and the papers themselves concede pickup errors; but DC input plus calorimetry needs no RF probe, so the claim does not bar every standard measurement).
  7. Stiffler's own reports bearing on testing: attempts by "Free Energy" builders to copy ECAT failed because they changed the design; Naudin's Time Energy Pump "fell short of sustained usable excess energy"; the "acid test" of a self-running device is a diversion by those who would suppress research; and a quick LED/black-plate test and a thermal-bottle test of the board are described, the first with no temperature rise and the second with no result stated (ECAT page; SEC Special Coil; assertions of suppression name no person or document). Beside this sits the Investigator's lead that Panacea course material (Scribd) announced "Self Charging" NILS (Near Infinity Light System) units that were never released, in tension with Stiffler's 2011 "Urban Myth" post that looping output to input "would require that we were manufacturing energy" (both web, single-source each; neither reconciled by the record).
