I hadn't seen that one yet. It's interesting because I have been doing some tests of pretty close to that exact same setup, by adding the Capacitor in series with the battery to use some of that energy again. I haven't done much with it because I am actually kind of unsure how to reliably test how much is actually being used, and of it is pulling more from the battery even though it appears to be reusing the Capacitor energy. I am also a little torn by trying to measure actual efficiency of doing all of this with batteries only. It seems that the Capacitor paradox would not be there with batteries, but can they charge efficiently enough to overcome the difference? I have also been working with the idea of eliminating losing half the capacitance when you put caps in series, by instead hooking each in series with a battery instead to get the extra potential. I also tried it using dead AA batteries in series to get just a voltage gain. Then hooking a cap in series and using that voltage to dump into the system again. Actually seemed to work like a charm, But again, doing the actual measurements accurately is an issue and has been keeping me from learning from it how effective or ineffective it is. It is so easy and accurate to measure exact energy in a capacitor, but as soon as a battery enters the equation, I then have problems actually proving anything do to the recovery time of batteries and efficiency differences of pulse charging over fast current charging and battery chemistries. I have a ton of 18650 cells I recycled out of bad laptop batteries so I have plenty to screw up with. But then I have another problem. Not knowing the reliability of each individual cell because they are old and repurchased. I have some battery monitors that can tell me how much has been taken from each battery and how much is put back on. I'm not sire how reliable of numbers, but it's all I have. I honestly do feel the answer to this equation of free energy will lie in recycling what we use and maximizing free work as we recycle. I've just felt that way forever. But actually doing it is another story. Thanks for continuing to feed me research! Keeps me motivated. So many things I want to learn and try. Something I was planning on trying with my current motor setup amd the simple generator I am adding right now, was to see efficiency changes by powering the circuit very similar to what this patent shows actually. I have been wanting to try sending all that is generated to a cap bank that then hooks in series with the power source to add to it, and pulsenthrough the motor coils into the charge battery. That way everything that is generated gets first pushed through the motor coils to put speed back into the system as it is dumped into the charge battery. Problem could be losing 50% of my generated energy storing it into a cap and releasing it to begin with. May be more efficient to send straight to the charge battery, but I want to try and put rotation back into the motor while doing it to ease the drag of the generator side of things. So much to try.
