Hi grizli..

1. You have the energy comming out to charge battery #2 charing battery. This is not the place to look to get 100% back. You typically get only like %70 recovered energy here.

2. Hook a generator to the motor, and yes, I am told that there have been machines that make up the other 30% consumed by the batery so you exceed the amount of energy. I have not seen this, but I am led to believe the possibility is real with the testing I have done. The generator combined with the recovered energy going to second battery is why everyone is attempting to replicate this.

Much of this has been covered earlier in the thread, and building your own unit helps to understand the whole concept.

I know my converted motor has shown me a good part of what is involved. Now to refine it, you would need a machine shop to see what Jetijs is doing.
