Stephen Fyfe Supercap circuit - COP = 2.5 ?

[hartiberlin]

Here are these stepup converters that already work from 0.9 Volts on and output 5 Volts on
a USB plug. Very handy for charging your phone or some USB lights.
Also very cheap already 10 Pieces for just 3.15 US$ on Ebay.

Hope this helps to rebuild his circuits...

Here is his bigger S1 circuit wiring diagram.

Interesting is, how the 2 lights are wired to the caps....

Hi Stefan. Bedini had this kind of setup listed on his website for quite
a few years. I have experimented with it, and as would be expected it is still less than
100% efficient when using a boost converter to transfer charge back from the cap
or battery being charged back to the source battery or cap. Using a boost converter like that
of course has some losses, so you won't reach 100% efficiency with that kind of setup, although
efficiency in the 90%+ range is possible.

The guy whose videos you are posting it seems has not demonstrated any sort of proper test to
check the actual efficiency of his setup, but the efficiency is of course not likely at all going to be
above 100% given the losses in the super caps and losses in the boost converter with that particular
arrangement. Even though those losses are not huge, they are still losses, so the efficiency should be
less then 100%. Stefan, what do you think is so unusual about charging one cap from a cap bank that
it might lead to OU results? I do not see anything unusual going on there.

All the best...
