Well I returned the generator...

And I have moved back to my multi coil system.

Today I found a video I wished I would of found months ago.

Bedini Monopole Mechanical Oscillator SSG Energizer dialup speed Video Presentat

This is the baby steps of building an SSG. There is a lot of little bits of information in this video that has helped me to understand the bigger picture.

I am starting to charge up small batteries with 2 solar chargers that I have found and I have wired them up in series. So even on cloudy days it is starting to charge a battery for my power source, I do hope to be able to charge a 12 V battery so that I can use it to charge 4 others. ( have had alot of cloudy days but that is to be expected in winter )

I am very pleased with leaving the charger on the batteries for over 4 days. 2 of my batteries are right at 13 V. ( these are ) 115 AH batteries. These were declared dead, ( they did not load test well ) today when I put one under load it stayed at 12.4 V for over 3 hours pulling 1/2 amp. This is very marked improvement, from where it started only staying on for about 13 min.

I have not lost hope, only shifting directions, I do feel that I am being drawn to get an usb computer oscilloscope, but I am always drawn in 30 directions

I am thinking next I will put the golf cart batteries in 24 V ( sets ) then start swaping them in charge so they get conditioned much better.

I just picked up some capacitors, I am thinking of taking my relay and using a photo sensor to trigger the release of the cap when the light comes on at 24 V. Have not quite worked out the details of that yet...

So many projects, so little time, but hey it is fun !
