  1. Stiffler's own statement of principle, thread 4067 post #1 and #4, 2009-03-12 [web] https://www.energeticforum.com/forum/energetic-forum-discussion/renewable-energy/4067-high-voltage-from-thin-air - Post #1 (user "DrStiffler", joined Mar 2009, 948 posts): asks for the minimum Exciter giving over 300 V from 18 V input without a step-up transformer or multiplier; method: "ping the 'Energy Lattice' and capture the return", using a "Spatial Gate" (www.drstiffler.com/sgate.htm). He says he does "not believe in OU"; prefers CEC, "Cohered Energy Coefficient": a conversion between energy forms "with a 'mathematical' gain. No creation of energy". - Post #4: universe has a finite amount of energy; a gain is really a conversion from forms not normally used; river and turbine analogy. Says he left another forum. - Bears on claims 1-2 (what CEC means to the inventor: an open-system conversion ratio, not energy creation).
  2. History of the work, thread 4067 post #369, 2009-05-01 (page 25) [web] .../4067-high-voltage-from-thin-air/page25 - Stiffler: SEC "was reborn from ECAT"; first ECAT tries "date back to 1990"; "even when it looked promising the math could not support the (conversion) concept", so "Conversion" was replaced by "Coherence"; notebooks on the idea date to 1985, "yet nothing physical". Says he was "born and raised Analog". - Bears on claim 1 (ECAT dates: the ECAT page says 1993-96; this post says first tries 1990) and on the origin of the SEC name. Note: here he expands SEC as "Spatial Energy Conversion" before saying Conversion was replaced.
  3. "Urban Myth" post, thread 4067 post #2122, 2011-05-30 (page 142): Stiffler asks where the belief comes from that CEC > 1 lets you loop output to input for self-running; says this would require manufacturing energy, "which of course is not possible"; energy drawn from the environment cannot simply be looped. Bears on claim 7 (his stance on self-running "acid tests").
  4. Replicator activity (supporting information by others, priority 2): - Thread 9344 post #2 (Raui, 2011-11-03): reports replicating "some effects" with signal generator and FFT; points to his YouTube channel (rau369) and a Heretical Builders thread "Exploring Dr Stiffler's Spatial Energy Coherence and Spatial Resonance effects" where Stiffler took part. Post #1 (kcarring) asks whether anyone has publicly replicated; says Stiffler sold a board at a reasonable price. Post #3 (Kokomoj0) estimates from an ECAT video a possible extra of roughly 4 W, but says proper measurement would need DC conversion and a resistor-bank load. Post #4 (NickZ) relays that Stiffler said a knock-off of his board was made in China. - Thread 4067 p.145 (2011-06-28/29): Inquorate reports finding the self-resonant frequency of a "SEC 15 tower" with an FFT scope and white-noise source, and that the noise bump at SRF appeared only after the coil had been pulsed; Lidmotor tried to see a "1.094 harmonic" on a Hantek scope with an SEC 18-X and saw the major resonances but not the small ones. Stiffler: ringing from noise "is the basis of my three coil experiments (with phasing)". - Thread 4067 p.142: zeos71 reports about 130 V p-p on L1 and 300 V p-p on L2 of an SEC15-3 (frequency uncertain: he could not tell 600 kHz from 60 MHz on his scope). - Thread 4067 p.25: a member (Eric) bought Tektronix P6015 HV probe for measurements; Stiffler credits "Lidmotor" with showing applications are possible.
  5. Late work, thread 9344 p.21 (2017-2018): - mikrovolt, 2018-04-30: Stiffler's modified 18X SEC driving a CREE LED board via a capacitively coupled aluminium backplane off the one-wire L3; light unit draws 35 mA at 18 V = 630 mW (video https://youtu.be/PIcaDtSUT3I, Stiffler's channel). Aaron Murakami (eMedia Press/ESTC) posted "Dr. Stiffler's Sun0008 circuit", sent by Stiffler for sharing (2018-04-30). mikrovolt says what Stiffler made public he put on Panacea, and links a 2012 PDF: http://quanthomme.free.fr/qhsuite/2012News/imagesnews12/PanaceaSECDr.Stiffler.pdf (exists, HTTP 200, last modified 2012-08-07; not downloaded). - mikrovolt, 2018-05-29: "The Real Simple Way- to fire up a CREE board with a 'Stiffler Loop'" video; measured 24.4 V p-p, 8.49 V rms at 13.53 MHz from a signal generator; describes the "Stiffler Diode Loop" as diodes capacitively coupling to the aluminium back plane. - Post #314 (2018, user writing through a translator): thanks replicators and offers "condolences to the family of dr stiffler RIP doctor".
  6. Thread 9344 p.22, post #316 (Inquorate, 2019-12-01): at a certain frequency set by the components, voltage and current are out of phase, "Meaning that the power calculation is always negative"; post #315 asks whether others know a "psec" running as a generator must have V and I 180 degrees out of phase. A replicator's own reading of the phase issue; bears on claims 2 and 6 (how input and output power are computed from V and I).

How it bears on the claims

  • Claims 1-2: the inventor's own definition of CEC (conversion ratio for an open system, explicitly not creation) and his statement that the original conversion "math" did not close.
  • Claim 4: one-wire transmission was copied by others (Lidmotor videos; see youtube note).
  • Claim 7: his view on self-running is stated in his own words.
  • Absence of evidence: activity continues to mid-2018 and stops; the RIP post fits the death record (see obituary note).
