[quote=theremart;21542] It seemed every time I went to extract energy from the coil's 3rd winding, the charging rate on the battery hit the ground.

Hi there , what ive found is that you carnt charge a battery on the back side of the coil and have a cap setup (use one setup or the other).They interfear with each other in the coil(to much unbalancing)the current dosent know where to go.
