Now back to the serious stuff
.When the caps started to negative charge it was the circuit which was self oscillating with the coil and reed switch.The last test was with the PWM that I have which is the Lawton circuit, and I was only using the last half of the circuit to give me duty and frequency. The test was done with the one battery only, the current draw for the PWM is 20ma. By my calculations I am getting more out than putting in when you add the 20ma to the 105ma = 125ma, the 24hrs and the voltage drop on the battery. BUT I do understand that I should have charged up the battery to its max first, but I was in a hurry and I was thinking that maybe the battery voltage would have risen up a bit and in which case it would be proof in itself.
But still with the drop, which was very small, it has shown that the circuit has produced more than the consumption on the battery.
Now to something that I have found and which is part of my HAM days.
When I change the resistance across the output of the phasing trans: the consumption goes down. E.G. put my 5w 12v bulb across the output which has a resistance cold of 3.6 ohms and the coil has a resistance of 3.85 ohms and so the resistance has dropped. Now if we take the frequency at this point, the change in resistance would have a markable effect on the frequency in the coil and the secondary coil.
Now I think that we need to drop the frequency on the output transformer so as to create more current on the output with less voltage "change voltage for current". Now if we can drop the frequency down to 50 or 60Hz we will have good usable current. I am not saying that we drop the input frequency as this is part of the way there is a gain, but the final output should be at a useable frequency
I am thinking on the line of a resistor and capacitor in parrallel, what do you think of this? and if you think it might be a good idea could you draw your thoughts so as we could compare before putting into practice.Going back to the caps and negative charge, when I removed the battery the voltage on the caps went down then up then down then up etc. untill 0v and then started to charge in reverse. Now we might have a fight on here inside the caps, taking both negative and positive charge depending on the cycle
Now when it is connected with both battery and caps, may be the caps are taking the positive charge and the battery the negative!!!!!!!!!!! thinking aloud here, so if I am rambling, but I think we can uncover a lot of things here. I await your commentsMike
