From JLN Labs (Apr 18, 2003):
On April 16th, 2003, the 5HP power generator has worked successfully in closed loop with the synthetic gas produced with the BingoFuel Reactor.
While the 5 HP engine is running, powered by the BFR, the transformer is quickly disconnected from the power grid and then its is connected to the output of the power generator electrical. The loop is closed...
Closed loop test procedure:
The gasoline fuel tank has been removed during this test.
1) The BFR is powered with the power grid,
2) the 5hp engine is started with the gaz produced with the BFR,
3) the BFR is quickly disconnected from the power grid and connected to the output of the power generator...
The plasma energy is lower during the closed loop operation than with the power grid energy. The power is just enough to maintain the self-running. The engine is only able to run about 2 minutes because of the carbon rods consumption and manual tuning requirement. A new version of the BingoFuel Reactor is under development, this version ( v2.0 ) will be able to run for a long time without tuning and adjustment...
The loop is closed : while the 5 hp engine is powered with the gas produced by BingoFuel Reactor, the BFR is powered by the power generator...
