Here is a comment from Lewan Mats about this topic:
Hi Mary and Ahsoka, Saw your discussion about power cords on Vortex. You can rule them out. I made my own connection cord which I put in series, both at the main power supply and between the blue control box and the resistor in the Ecat. The connection cord was a standard 2 phase + ground, with the three single wires uncovered to be able to use the clamps ampere meter. I measured the current through all three wires regularly. Another scam suggestion is having a hidden rectifier and using whole wave rectified current, which would then be measured as lower than it really was by a clamps ampere meter in AC position. The idea would be to use this at a moment when you pretend to decrease the input current, but in reality you don’t. To rule that out I measured both current and tension in both AC and DC position, regularly throughout the experiment. To put it short – there’s no cheating at the input. Feel free to share this on Vortex. Mats
