I've never seen any latching relays before. Looked them up and understand now. That's ok if one goes the relay way of building. I've built the relay setup with six relays before using Arduino as a controller. But the car relays were unreliable as they sometimes got stuck and didn't switch quick enough. Your car points idea seems like good idea. But I'm not convinced that high hertz switching is best to get "extra energy" because of my inability to achieve such.
As I've stated here many times, with only 4 marine 115 Ah batteries and limited resources it's difficult to try every variation of this TS.
I've tried a smaller version of the;
1) relay very fast switching (3 different versions)
2) DPDT manual switching
3) modified motor with voltage step up modules
I haven't tried a transformer setup yet. I found two 4 1/2 OD x 2 1/2 ID x 1 5/8" H toroids in my shop that Lawrence(who passed on) gave me. Been studying how to wind one of these to try out. Both toroids have a secondary AC winding on them.
Anyway just wanted to catch up a little here. It's good to see all those praying for BroMikey here. Believe what you pray and pray what you believe. God WILL answer!!!
