Charging Batteries from Batteries part 2. Free Energy?

[dandman]

Anyone find anything unusual about the statistics below???


They represent the discharge of a 3 lead acid battery configuration at a constant 12v 1.1 amp with a resistor (car bulb) and the charge states at 24 hour (approx) intervals. It should be noted that at no point during discharge were the batteries attached to any kind of charging device, mechanical or electrical. Prior to beginning discharge, the batteries were charged to their start state with a standard 2.5amp car charger in parallel and the first readings are prior to disconnection. The remainder of the readings are at the end of the 24hr periods, after which the configuration was changed systematically. The same results can be achieved with different discharge rates and with induction ie attaching an inverter to run a.c. applications.

The problem is you are using batteries.

Hey cutting edge, they are fickle things arent they. Check day2 b3, day3 b1,day4 b2 etc. As 2 of the batteries discharge 1 charges, the hydrometer readings are there to confirm that the electrolyte density is changing and not just battery voltage. Therefore proving that charging is actually taking place, grin

I agree with your analysis but batteries wear out over time.

AT LAST, thanks cutting edge. a battery does have a finite life, agreed, however, if over the period of that life one can produce a benefit (energy) in another battery, as a consequence of the use, be it light, heat or motive power surely it is worthy of further investigation?. As far as I am aware, the stats provided prove that there is a consequencial benefit available over and above its use?.
