Let me make a suggestion Robert. The linear technology company publishes a spice program that can be downloaded and used by the general public. This is a fantastic offering and I have found it extremely accurate. Anyone who has an interest in electronic modeling would be well advised to get this gem.
It took me about 15 minutes to model the performance of a simple diode rectified system. I made a model which showed without any doubt that the power being delivered by a sine wave generator can be measured at the source by looking only at the fundamental current sine wave component. Any DC currents that flow through this source do not make any difference to the measurement of source power. Also, any harmonic currents that flow due to load distortion do not change the power reading at the source as I have stated several times. If you question this assertion, then I think it is common courteously to take the small amount of time requested to prove your position. I will make myself available to help you install and operate a model if you wish. The program SwCAD III also performs FFT's of the current waveform making the measurement we are discussing trivial. Let me know if you need further assistance.

Principle problem with using it is that it doesn't have models for the clamp ammeters transfer functions. I also don't have the hours required to hunt this down and run it at the moment.

Do you know how to use Spice, and would you be willing to try to duplicate his model in order to determine if its valid, and if not, why? -Mark From: Robert Lynn [mailto:robert.gulliver.l...@gmail.com] Sent: Friday, May 31, 2013 1:26 PM To: vortex-l@eskimo.com Subject: Re: [Vo]:On deception. 3rd EE Another EE here (plus mechanical undergrad). On balance I think Rossi has something, but I have been disappointed by too many of his slap-dash demos over the last two years to put my reputation on the line in backing him. And there are some potentially big holes in the electrical power delivery (that have been discussed to death here). I can't give him the benefit of the doubt give his dubious history, and It would need a more rigorously instrumented test by people who are more aggressively skeptical than in his tests to date for me to give unequivocal support.

I bet you won't find any EE with any experience in the business who would sign such a statement.
