I wanted to share what I am experimenting with, which is similar to what Dave Wing is doing on another thread.
I'll try to explain, but will also do a video when I get a chance.
I'm using the 3 battery switch as per this picture on John Bedini's web site.
What I am doing is putting an SG (in gen mode) where the load is on the above picture. What this does is pulse charges the 3rd battery with the difference of potential between the 2 series batteries and the single 3rd battery.
The output of the SG is then connected to a 4th battery and obviously also charges as we would expect. The 2 series batteries do discharge, but at a slower rate than you would expect.
Once the 3rd and 4th batteries are charged to ~15v (one will charge at a different rate to the other) I then switch the batteries around - the two charged batteries are placed in series, the lowest of the other batteries is connected as the 3rd battery, the SG placed as the load and the 4th battery is connected as the output of the SG.
I have been recording the voltages of all 4 batteries over many repetitive cycles and have noticed that I am seeing overall gains in the sum of all the battery voltages. I have also done the same experiment with different sized and different types of batteries and every time I am seeing overall gains. This setup is like a self-running battery charging system.
A couple of notes if you want to try this:
1. Try and use 4 batteries that are the same
2. Start off with small batteries until you can see what is going on and understand what is happening (large batteries will just take longer)
3. Use an SG that can charge the 4th battery to at least 15v
4. I am using the diode on the SG negative output, you may wish to try it without the diode (as Dave and Patrick are doing)
5. If running the SG in gen mode you may have to let the batteries rest before switching - if the SG input voltage is >1V above the 4th battery voltage it will not run
6. You can use a solid state or rotored SG
7. You can run the SG in conventional or gen mode
8. I have not tried using a cap pulser on the output of the SG yet.
