Stiffler: Investigator sites log

Run 1, 2026-10-08 (STEP I, first run)

Web time used: about 9.3 minutes (start 1791495357, last search at +558 s). The run stopped just under the 9.5-minute floor, when the tab was closed after the last planned query. Sites not reached are listed below as "not reached (stopped early)". Research was done in Chrome (Google searches, Scribd, Google Patents, Wayback attempts). Forum, news and YouTube pages were fetched by curl into research/pages/ and searched with grep. Nothing was downloaded to research/files/ in this run: the PDFs found are listed with their URLs.

Leads for review

1. The inventor's own work

• Stiffler's statement of what CEC means (Energetic Forum thread 4067, posts #1 and #4, 2009-03-12): no creation of energy; a conversion of energy forms "with a 'mathematical' gain", in an open system. Bears on claims 1-2 (how the inventor himself reads a gain greater than 1). [web] https://www.energeticforum.com/forum/energetic-forum-discussion/renewable-energy/4067-high-voltage-from-thin-air
• Stiffler's history of the work (post #369, 2009-05-01): first ECAT tries 1990 (the ECAT page says 1993-96); notebooks from 1985; "the math could not support the (conversion) concept", so "Conversion" was renamed "Coherence". Bears on claim 1 and on the origin of the SEC name. [web] .../page25
• "Urban Myth" post (#2122, 2011-05-30): says a CEC above 1 does not allow output to be looped back for self-running, since energy cannot be manufactured. Bears on claim 7.
• "An Efficient Method for Driving LED Arrays from Spatial Energy Coherence Exciters" (Stiffler, 2010, Rel 1.0), not in the folder; claims LEDs give "very high efficiencies and realized coherence or CEC" with the right connection. Bears on claims 2-3. [web] https://www.scribd.com/document/27399091
• Panacea-BOCAF course "Spatial Energy Coherence by Dr Ronald Stiffler" (88 pp.), with "Patent Pending: 61254675", the NILS (Near Infinity Light System), and an assertion that an SEC exciter is a "Negative Resistance". Bears on claims 2-3. [web] https://www.scribd.com/doc/35609446 ; 2012 Panacea SEC PDF at quanthomme.free.fr (exists, not read).
• "Spatial Energy Coherence Series 18 Exciters Documentation" Rel 2.8 (Sept 2011) on studylib (not read).
• Stiffler's YouTube channel @StifflerDr: 163 videos, live, including the 2017-2018 "Stiffler Loop" series ("Is the Loop really doing anything?", "CREE Powered By SEC"). The demo video y9aJohml130 cited in the One-Wire guide has been removed. Bears on claims 2 and 4.
• Late measurements relayed by a replicator (thread 9344 p.21, 2018-04-30): Stiffler's CREE light unit draws 35 mA at 18 V (630 mW). Bears on claim 2 (an input figure; no output figure given).

2. Supporting information by others

• Lidmotor's independent builds (YouTube): SEC replication (2009-04-07), one-wire transmission at 10 ft (2009-07-31) and at 25 ft around a wall, diode electrolysis with SEC 18-1e (2010), "100K resistor" low-power partial replication (2011), Muller dynamo fed over one wire. Brightness and motion only, no power balance in the descriptions. Bears on claim 4 (the effect is reproducible by others) and claim 2.
• Replicator reports on Energetic Forum (2011): Raui says he replicated "some effects" with signal generator and FFT and vouches there is "something worth a further look"; Inquorate measured the SRF of an SEC 15 tower; zeos71 saw about 130 V p-p on L1 and 300 V p-p on L2 of an SEC15-3. No energy balance in these posts. Bears on claim 2.
• Ainslie et al., "Open Source Evaluation of Power Transients..." (Dec 2009, submitted to IEEE per the document), reports COP above 4.0 on the MOSFET heating circuit; Stiffler's name appears in the Google snippet (likely acknowledgments; not confirmed). The Ainslie group are interested parties (originator of the circuit). Bears on claim 5.

3. Closely related work

• Single-wire resonant power transmission patents using the Avramenko plug idea: D.S. Strebkov (VIESH, Russia) RU2340064C1 (2007), RU2409883C1 (2009), RU2474031C2 (2010), RU2533060C2, RU2544380C2, RU2548571C2 (2013); V.Z. Trubnikov RU2473160C2 (2009); M. Bank US9608441B2 / AU2014200748A1 (2011). Bears on claim 4: mainstream-adjacent engineering literature on the same one-wire arrangement that Stiffler cites (Tesla, Avramenko).
• G. Egely US20140126679A1 / WO2012153156A2 (2011) and RSC Energia RU2355074C1 "Telluric current source" (2008) cite the Avramenko plug. Bears on claims 2 and 4 (others using the same diode-plug element).
• Naudin's Time Energy Pump series (JLN Labs index, live): bears on claim 7 (Stiffler's comment on the TEP).
• A forum member (OverUnity Research, 2018, members only) says the Stiffler Loop "reduces to an Avramenko plug equivalent". Another (Energetic Forum 2019-12-01) says that at certain frequencies V and I are out of phase so "the power calculation is always negative". Both are replicators' own technical readings; they bear on claims 2 and 6 (how power is computed from phase-shifted V and I).

4. The historical record

• Death: a Ronald Stiffler, 75, of Kingwood, Texas (next to Humble) died on 2018-11-12 (legacy.com / Post and Courier notice; Darst Funeral Home). A free-energy newsletter of 2019-01-24 says Dr. Stiffler "passed away last November", and a 2018 forum post offers condolences. The record of the work ends in mid-2018. On this record the obvious reason it goes quiet is the inventor's death, not secrecy or absorption into another company; the full obituary would confirm the identity.
• Patent: SEC "Patent Pending" (ZPEnergy 2010-10-14; Panacea course gives 61254675, which has the form of a US provisional application number, probably filed in late 2009 [memory, medium]). No published application or patent by Ronald Stiffler was found on Google Patents. Competing readings: the provisional lapsed after 12 months without a non-provisional (common for individual inventors); or a later application exists under another name. Record that would settle it: USPTO Patent Center search for any application claiming 61/254,675.
• "Advanced Technology Group" (1993-96 ECAT team): still unidentified; one query found nothing. Next records: the Darst obituary, and the archived drstiffler.com/stifflerscientific.com "about" pages.
• Stiffler Scientific: no corporate record on OpenCorporates; probably a DBA (Harris County Clerk assumed-name index not searched). Licenses were offered through Stiffler Scientific (2010).
• Stated plan to publish a paper on SEC from replicators' data (ZPEnergy 2010). No such paper was found: an absence to note, and one the 2018 death may explain.
• Google removed some Stiffler search results after legal requests (Lumen notices 75850580, 95550170). Who sent them is unknown; the Lumen pages were behind an anti-bot check.

Corrections to earlier documents

• claims.md and facts.json (ECAT page) give the ECAT work as 1993-1996. In his own forum post of 2009-05-01, Stiffler says the first ECAT tries were in 1990 and his notebooks go back to 1985. This is not a contradiction of the page (the page covers the circuits built 1993-96 with the Advanced Technology Group), but the reviews should add the earlier dates. Source: https://www.energeticforum.com/forum/energetic-forum-discussion/renewable-energy/4067-high-voltage-from-thin-air/page25 (post #369).
• claims.md "Source gap" lists "any record of the Advanced Technology Group of 1993-96" and the demo video y9aJohml130 as things to obtain. The video is now known to have been removed from YouTube (oEmbed "Not Found", 2026-10-08); the Stiffler channel itself is live and may hold a re-upload.
