Some observations that I've made lately about the project and about the overall operation of QB transistors.

One temporary model of the input sensors connected to the QB processor ( or Pan-matrix, whichever) consisted of 9 light detecting cells in a 3x3 matrix. These are not photocells as in the cadmium sulfide variety but are photo-detectors used in detecting lasers, infrared and ambient light similar to those found in digital cameras to adjust the contrast. I think the first Corey used these types of elements but only one per "eye" was used. This Corey model uses a multitude of these devices for the optics. Below is a sketch of how the 3x3 matrix looks. Each black square connected to the transistor indicates the optic sensor with a negative connection to the power supply. In this particular model the feature that strikes me the most is the extreme low current draw. Referring to the sketch, you see 3 boxes designated as "r". These are 1 meg-ohm (or higher) resistors that connect from a 4066 cmos quad bi-lateral switch to the positive connection.  This positive connection serves a couple of different purposes. First it acts to convert the negative output of the Base of the transistor to a positive charge which is fed-back to the top transistors. This is the reciprocal voltage of the negative output and acts as a control to the rest of the matrix. It helps setup the opposing polarity for the network to properly work. The positive output is also the interface to other electronics; in this case, to the inputs of the micro-controller that controls the motors.  I found using the resistors was the most efficient way to reverse the polarity without resorting to inverters or other extra components.
Because of the positive charge on the resistors there is a slight forward bias to the transistors which at first glance seems to be something we don't want to do, due to the potential current draw. However, I believe because of the non-linear nature of the transistors and the field effect produced by the opposing charges, the current draw is held at a minimum. This particular circuit, on average only drew between 4 to 6 micro-amps depending on the amount of light on the detectors. For this to be a functioning circuit drawing this minute current is nothing short of astonishing in my opinion.
An interesting side note about this circuit is the reciprocal interaction of charges at the output and the implication it holds. As the light increases in amplitude on the detectors, the positive charge on the output decreases in proportion while the negative charge increases in proportion. Also, the amperage increases with the higher amplitude light.
This brings to mind a property of least energy in a network. It seems that in order to conserve energy, the machine would have a tendency to seek dark areas and avoid lighted areas. This would minimize the positive charge drawn on the system and maximize the negative charge resulting in conserving the charge on the battery. The machine, left to it's own devices would be more of a "photophobe" or "Nocturnaphore"....if there is such a thing.

I performed an interesting experiment last week while working on the QB processor. The 3x3 matrix was left connected to it's battery for about 3 days in nominal ambient light. As I stated before there was about a 4 to 6 micro-amp current draw on the circuit and this stayed consistent throughout the experiment. The interesting observation I made was much like previous experiments I've performed......there was no noticeable drop in battery voltage over the time period.  Since technically we were connecting 3 one meg-ohm resistors between negative and positive battery and slightly forward biasing the transistors, there should have been a significantly higher current draw and voltage drop. Here's the question....what if there is a more substantial voltage drop on average but the loss in battery energy is being replenished (?)
It is still undecided how electrons regain energy after changing orbits or states. We know that when an electron drops to a lower level it loses a quantum of energy...a photon; and it will absorb a photon to jump to a higher orbit. But no one knows where the "extra" energy comes from. What if the electrons are deriving their energy from the Zero point field? I believe this has been suggested before, probably by Puthof. On a small enough scale, about where we're at, the recharging of the negative pole may be possible due to this tapping of ZPE. It seems in this experiment (and in previous ones), that there is a balancing act going on between what energy the circuit uses and how much is being generated back into the system. Once the system starts to draw current beyond the recharging point, the balance is no longer detected and the battery will start to lose voltage as would be normally expected. This recharging via ZPE ( if that is what it is) seems to be a passive type of energy and very easy to "swamp" due to the inefficiencies of electronic circuits.
I believe if properly designed, a whole circuit could be produced that would take advantage of this recharging energy resulting in an era of machines using next to nothing in energy consumption.  This may be a feature worth looking into.

Later I will talk about the reciprocal voltages in the circuit and how they affect each other via the QB circuit.......it's really interesting.


FIG 1. 3x3 matrixThe 4066 switch is used to connect the resistors to the matrix. When the control wire is active a set of electronic relay type switches are activated and connect the resistors to the matrix. In between control activations, the transistors compute their potential output. When the control activates the switches, the signals travel through the circuit to the outputs which are connected in parallel to the resistors. There is a reason why the circuit looks the way it does and why it's wiring is the way it is. The processor being built is an 8x8 matrix which has the potential to connect 64 sensors. The circuit demonstrates self-organization and local energy wells (stable energy states).
