Been playing with Super Caps all day, trying different rotors and wind-down tests, so when browsing this forum, I thought ummm got a few 3.68mhz crystals close by and attached them to the bank of caps I had.

There was 5 caps in series, each one is 20F 2.5 volts. So giving me 12.5 volts in total.

So I thought as an experiment and the caps were on the table I would join 2 crystals together and put them across the Super Cap bank. The bank was down to 3.2 volts and within 15 minutes after connecting the crystals it was upto 3.7 volts.

Ummm I thought, so disconnected the 5 caps in series and shorted one of them to make sure it was fully discharged.

Then connected two crystals across the one cap as in picture attached.

The DC volt meter measured 0.7 volts pretty quick and so far I have left it alone for 20 minutes

7:00pm 0.07 dc volts

7:05pm 0.08 dc volts

7:10pm 0.09 dc volts

7:28 0.10 dc volts

Will leave it running over night and see what it is in the morning.

Cheers

Sean.

Hi Sean,

This behavior for (mainly) electrolytic capacitor types is experienced by some members here, including me too. My best understanding on explaining this is here, after the second qoute in my earlier post to member nul_points:

http://www.overunity.com/index.php?topic=4419.msg99313#msg99313

and also here:

I would suggest doing this test:

Charge up two 20F supercaps to say 2V or so, by connecting them in parallel for the charge-up from a power supply,  then discharge them both, still in parallel, with a 10 Ohm resistor or whatever small value you have, for about 0.5V.

Then remove the resistor, disconnect the caps from one other, and place the crystals across one of them and leave the other cap unconnected.
Now wait and see later how the caps recharge themselves, I forecast the two voltage values you would find in the end will be pretty much the same in both caps, the crystals would have nothing to do with the recharge effect...
