Hi Dbowling,

this is exaclty like dead batteries behave. I have regenerated maybe 100 lead-acid batteries "saved" from our local dump by a halfwave-puls-circuit directly connected to my 230 Volt-grid in series to an incandescant bulb ( 10 Watt ).
I could very quickly find out if this battery wil come to life again. If the bulb remained dark for 1 hour ( no AC-pulsed-current was flowing ) the inner resitance remained high but voltage was rising up to 14 or even 16 Volt but it cound not maintain this level very long. So we are speaking here about the same thing.

@groundloop : I have studied supercaps in depth. I was buying the first supercaps I could get my hands on way back in 1999 and got very good specs at that time .  It is a double layer but not a electro-chemical-strorage-process, as you certainly know and can not be compared to lead-batteries. The supercaps have a very large ESR and this is the reason I was using them because the effect - especially the heat-dissipation at the inner lead-junctions - can be observed more clearly by fast loss of energy.

I continued my measurements today and all I see is proof of what  I had described earlier. Motor is not running any longer, both cap-systems - the two in series and cap3 have now identical voltage-level, however they get drained continuously at an equal pace which is in accordance with the physical law that no two devices - even if I measure the exact same voltage-level in both cap-systems - doe actually have the same level. Even the smallest difference which must occur leads to a small discharge-current to the other system until this system reaches a super-small voltage-difference higher and here we go again but this time the current is flowing the other way around. So this back and forth - flow in my setup  is very small and must be recorded with different means. In your setup you have bigger currents and observe a very slow pulsation between these two systems and this reflects itself in periods of activation and rest of your motor. You should observe with each cycle a clock- and then a counter-clockwise rotation.

As user XEE was stating - along with his charge-discharge diagramm - there is no energy-gain. It just takes may be a few months until the system comes to an equilibrium.

But anyway there is always somthing to learn with this setup here - at least it was for me.
I am finished with this one. Will move to other things.

Hi Dbowling,

I just noticed your topic and obviously find it very interesting. I also see that Groundloop is here and doing his best in helping as usual.

Thank you for sharing and Groundloop and others trying to replicate the effect you have found. I'm away from home for a couple of weeks but I will also try a replication once I get back home.

Thanks for sharing

Hi all,  still setting up the experiment scene for daves replication or as close as i can get it at least, i'm currently trying to kill this battery still and ive shorted it and some more and it still keeps conducting my load straight away but i'll keep trying - does anybody know a aure way to get my battery like daves and the others? i'm not sure i'm doing it right or efficiently - non conductive with the motor initially and dead as a dodo?
any help would be great to helping me help toward the cause - thanks,

Pese I think, is right.
If I were in my flashlight batteries, the 3 pieces a 1.2Volt (NC) used a
upside down, I have built instead 3.6Volt only 1.2 volts on my bulb.

At 3 pieces 12-volt batteries, I sure the same behavior (but timezone 10)

If I take 2 batteries and an incorrectly pole around, I have ZERO volts.
But also, it can not be otherwise ...

Hi All

I've created a synopsis of the posts that David Bowling has already made on this thread (see attached document).

The document is listed in chronological order. 

On the last pages David explains what he means by a "dead" battery which are very relevant to making this work, I think

@Goat,

Can't read .odt files. Can you post in another format?

Groundloop.

Hi All

I renamed and re-uploaded the file as "David Bowling's Posts Synopsis of Continuous Charging Device.pdf" because Reply #52 was missing in the document, I also set the pdf to open at 100% magnification instead of the default 130%, it seems to have shrunk the size of the document a little by doing that 

Please see the Dowloads section at http://www.overunity.com/index.php?action=tpmod;dl=0 for the newer copy.

Hi y'all!!

Firstly, I would like to thanks David Bowling for his willingness to share his invention... 
Hope you success...

I have several questions...

I just replicated David circuit that drawn by Groundloop... 

The result are very weird...
The third battery is getting warm...

So, the question is, is my replication failed?
Any suggestions??
 
Thanks!!
