Another note to point out, in the cd motor experiment, is we have two circuits so to speak. The two batteries in series are like one circuit, they are operating in the way batteries operate when they drain or run a device. On the two parallel batteries they are like a different circuit, or rather have a different function, they operate the same way batteries do when they recharge, which is reverse electron flow, or reverse from the way the batteries on the series side operate. But we still have a single path of electron flow, which is still from negative to positive. It starts with electrons coming out of the series batteries at their negative, they flow into the weaker negative of the parallel batteries. They then come out of the positive side of the parallel batteries and then flow into the stronger positive of the series batteries, so we have a complete path of flow. So series batteries drain and parallel batteries recharge, and since the electrons flow through the cd motor,,it runs at the same time..

Seems this works on regular alkaline batteries, least it worked well on this experiment I did. I used two double AA rechargeable bats to recharge two triple AAA bats. Readings at 1498,,and still climbing. This is the first time Ive tried it on non rechargeable batteries. The AAA batteries were so drained neither would even run a cd motor before the recharge. I got them out of wii controllers, did not even know they were left in them, they had been in it forever and had no juice at all. Kind of neat..

I used to wonder about that,,then I read a bit on how batteries work, I think I get it, but I wont be good at explaining it. You should google it. Im sure some websites can do a better job at explaining it then I can.

This is interesting, how long will it go,,who knows. I ran the recharger two batteries recharging two. Then after the recharge the motor stopped. I thought there must be some power left in those main batteries but how to get it out. Then I rigged two reed switches,,and on the motors rotor where I have a glue stick spinning, I placed a magnet on each end of the glue stick, and wired one of the positives to those,,so as it spins the magnets pulse the motor to make it spin,,its been running all morning like this,,slowly but running,,on what normally on this design would be called the dead main batteries. So its still also recharging the other two batteries if ever slowly now but still doing it..I thought that was neat, half to see how long it can run this way on those dead two series batteries.

Oh that last post was about after I recharged two batteries with two,,and the motor stops after it recharges two, because the main bats are then all but drained, so I was just experimenting with trying to get the last bit of juice out of those two drained main batteries, I just rigged up a reed switch which pulsed the motor a bit longer off of the main batteries, I only got half a day of running time out of the drained main batteries. Nothing really interesting about that. I will post two other experiments on here that Im working on,,they show promise,,maybe better then the original cd motor experiment, still doing test tho, trying to get the most out of the design.

For anyone interested or still keeping tabs on the cd motor experiment, I find if you use a capacitor across the motor terminals,,you get more swaps out of it.."I used a 16v 2200uf electrolytic capacitor"..That is swapping the main bats with the recharged bats when the motor finally stops running. I also noticed this way if I say recharge three bats with two bats,,then I take one of those three bats out of the picture,,after a recharge,,then swap two for two,,I get a very good recharge that way,,and can repeat it a few times swapping just the main and drained bats then.

This clip has the same idea of charging batteries.

Ok Im a bit at a loss now,,I was sure all that was going on here was just a transfer of electron flow, allowing the recharge, with a minimal of loss due to the motor. But now I see the motor is a key component. Tho I will half to do further test to be absolute sure. But I did the same design as in the schematic two batteries recharging three. Except I added a cd to spin on the motors rotor instead of like in my video where I use a glue stick to spin. Then on top of this cd I have another motor facing downward on the cd and connected. Now I wired each motor so they cause the cd to spin the same direction and connected them same as in the schematic but the recharge is off the scales in almost no time..I will need to do further test to be sure. Will try to post something about it later on here.
