1. Introduction
This report describes the activities undertaken in assessing the Quantum Energy Generator (QEG) built in the small village
of Aouchtam, Morocco in April/May of 2014, and shown in Figure 1. The process for building this QEG may be found in a
document entitled QEG User Manual and available on the HopeGirl blog website (www.hopegirl2012.wordpress.com).
It is the intention for this report to provide all of the details for how the QEG was assessed experimentally using a variety of
Test and Measurement (T&M) equipment. This will allow for the information to be shared in an open source manner,
allowing for other groups to replicate the same experiments with their own version of the QEG.

1.1

Process for Issuing a QEG Test & Measurement Report

In order to maximize the possibility of replicating the QEG progress on a global scale by many groups operating in many
countries, a process has been created to provide a series of up-issued reports by each QEG group with details about the
QEG experiments. The process for each QEG group to issue a QEG Test & Measurement Report is as follows:
1.

Make a copy of a QEG Test & Measurement report, ensuring that the copy has TEMPLATE on the cover.

2.

Change the relevant text throughout the document where appropriate e.g. from QEG Morocco to QEG Paris, as
well as updating the Contacts & Websites page.

3.

Make a record of the equipment used to make measurements in the Test & Measurement Equipment Section.
This may include pictures and datasheet information. This will ensure that anyone attempting to replicate any
groups QEG results can do so using the same or similar equipment.

4.

Provide details of any relevant measurements and experiments undertaken on the QEG in the Measurements
section. This includes details such as the circuit diagram for the particular set-up, how the system was measured,
the resulting measurement data (perhaps as screen shots from an oscilloscope or an Excel chart), and some
discussion about the findings from the results. This will allow other QEG groups to understand the train of
thought involved in making a series of experiments in a particular way.

5.

Record each new version of the report in the Issue Record Sheet. So, for example, a QEG group may make Issue 1
of their QEG T&M report publicly available with details of 5 experiments in the Measurements section. They may
then complete another 10 experiments which are added to the Measurements section. This second version of the
report, Issue 2, will then be up-issued with details of all 15 experiments. Also include the Issue number on the Title
Page to ensure that other QEG groups can work with the most up to date version of a particular QEG groups Test
& Measurement Report.

6.

Fix the World Project will publish all the reports on their website at: http://www.fixtheworldproject.net/qeg-open-
source-documents.html. Each report is published as a PDF. Firstly this will compress the size of document making
it easier for other QEG groups to download the document. Secondly it will make it difficult for others to edit a
particular version of a QEG T&M report, ensuring consistency in each version of the report. You can either convert
your document to a PDF or request that the FTW team do it before publishing.

This section describes the measurement equipment used to assess the QEG. Where possible, pictures and datasheet
information is provided so that other QEG groups may use the same or similar equipment for their own experiments.

2.1

Tektronix P6015 1000X High Voltage Probe

The Tektronix P6015 1000X High Voltage Probe shown in Figure 2 is used to measure the high voltage aspects of the
system, which in some cases were in excess of 10kVRMS. The datasheet information is shown inTable 1. The probe can be
connected to an oscillscope via a BNC connector and the resulting voltage waveform can be analysed.

The Stangenes 0.5-0.1W current probe shown in Figure 3 is used to measure the currents in the system. The datasheet
information is shown in Table 2. The probe can be connected to an oscillscope vian a BNC connector and the resulting

The Fluke 187 True RMS Multi-Meter shown in Figure 4 is used to measure the voltage and current at certain points in the
system. The datasheet information is shown in Table 3. This multimeter was useful for providing an RMS voltage reading
that was floating and not grounded so that the system was not perturbed.

Tektronix TDS3054 Oscilloscope

The Tektronix TDS3054 portable oscilloscope shown in Figure 5 is used to view the current and voltage waveforms so that
power can be calculated. The datasheet information is shown in Table 4. With 4-channels it is possible to simultaneously
monitor the voltage and current on both the primary and secondary coils.

3.1.1 Description of Experiment

This aim of this QEG set-up was to tune the system by varying the capacitance on the Primary Coil and look for a peak
power in the Secondary Coil. The Secondary Coil includes a Diode Bridge Rectifier that converts AC to DC and powers a
load of three 100W 240V bulbs in serial. At this stage the system was floating i.e. not grounded, and the exciter circuit had
not yet been included. It was hoped to see a clear peak in the Power OUT with a certain value of capacitance.

3.1.4 Measurements
In Figure 1 the RMS voltage and current across the Secondary Coil are plotted with a varying capacitance on the Primary
Coil. At this stage of investigations there were only a limited number of capacitors available, and so only 6 values were
assessed. The voltage, plotted in dark blue and on the left hand y-axis, remained steady no matter what the capacitance,
as did the current, plotted in pink against the right hand axis. The oscilloscope showed that there were zero degrees phase
shift between current and voltage for all capacitance values.

Figure 8: Voltage & Current OUT across Secondary (AC)
Next the Voltage OUT and Current OUT were used to calculate the Power OUT, and compared against the Power IN from
the plug-in power monitor. The comparison is shown in Figure 9, and shows that for a consistent Power IN of around
900W, the Power OUT across the Secondary Coil did not vary by much, at around 150W in all cases. This gives a Power
Efficiency of around 17% for all the capacitance values assessed.

In addition to the power measurements, an RPM meter was used to measure the rotation of the core in RPM (Revolutions
Per Minute) in order to calculate the frequency in the Primary LC Circuit by using Formula 1. The resulting data is plotted in
Figure 10 and does shows a peak frequency of 100Hz with C = 108.5nF.

Figure 10: Power IN vs. Power OUT

3.1.5 Findings
In this configuration of the QEG, varying the capacitance on the Primary Coil had almost no effect on the Power OUT from
the Secondary Coil for all of the capacitance values assessed. It is possible that a peak Power OUT may occur between the
capacitance data points, however at this stage there were a limited number of capacitors available. However, there did
seem to be a peak frequency in the Primary LC circuit of around 100Hz with C=108.5nF.
