This is to open the arena for discussion on possible ideas using this angle.
I will prove with the video below that it is absolutely possible to create induction which CAN NOT raise the source input requirement.
As we can verify, flickering or sweeping light across a solar panel can be connected to a primary of a transformer to create an output.
CEMF from the secondary WILL create a counter current in the primary, but this counter current can not pull more current from the source. (Light).
One area of exploration is, would it be possible to rotate or flicker lights to panels and harvest the initial output of a transformer, then also harvest the CEMF that is returning to the panel?
OR could we attach lights on a rotor and create a Light-Generator? The passing lights create DC pulses which are changed to magnetic pulses, and perhaps achieve generator like induction without any Lenz Drag? As magnetic fields can not restrict the movement of light.
One big issue is that we are already set at a disadvantage because creating artificial light to convert with solar is pretty inefficient, But if a common alternator can produce 20 times the input, if we could replicate that efficiency, this means we might be able to get 20 watts out from 1 watt input, which means out solar panel would only need to be 5% efficient to be > COP1.
Or perhaps even simpler, maybe Sun Powered solar output can be increased by placing some moving reflector over 2 panels which oscillates the sunlight between 2 panels without ever wasting any light.
Maybe a good way to start would be a simple setup where we pulse light bulbs with an arduino and H-bridges over panels on our bench and start digging into possibilities.
I just got 10x 5 VOLT 60 MA small panels to play with for very cheap. We will see if anything interesting pops up
