Project
A non-conservative Power Opticouple is like a standard opticouple, an LED that lights and a Photodiode or Solar Cell that recieves the light, and converts it back into electrical current and voltage, except that a non-conservative Power opticouple is fed with a "tuned" circuit, which is usually done by running the LED at or below it's voltage drop through a low impedance resistor, which allows it to light without drawing any current, and is designed to deliver and recieve large amounts of energy instead of just a small signal.
The design of the "tuned" circuit, aswell as all conservative and non-conservative energy systems present in LED's and diodes, has all been scientifically proven, and is shown in the paper entitled "Conservative and non-conservative energy systems in LED's and diodes."
A fully working prototype of this type of opticouple has also been produced and can be seen below.
Prototype
The power opticouple prototype is an "off the shelf" opticouple, which is fed with a "tuned" circuit. It takes in about 1.2 volts and about .5 milliamps, and outputs about 8 volts and 20 milliamps. This is clearly a non-conservative relationship.
It is pictured below:
It is possible to create larger versions of these, into to megawatt and gigawatt range with larger panels and LED's.
