Tesla Switch need help

[Paul-R]

I have heard it said that the Tesla Switch does not really like solid state switches. It picks up radiant energy, and works better with rotating commutator type stuff.

hmmm.

You have 4 identical lossless accumulators, 2 charged with
the energy q, 2 uncharged.
After dis/recharging you end up with 2 batteries charged with
0.5 q and the others discharged.
Next cylce ends with 2 batteries, at 0.25 q. and so on.
The total amount of energy in the batteries is the series:
2q q 0.5q 0.25q 0.125q.....
The energy destroyed / transformed to heat and light is:
q 0.5q 0.25q 0.125q..
If you do that forever without any loss - you transfered the
energy of 2q completly to heat and light.
 
That the efficiency and the capacity of a lead acid battery
increases if you operate it it pulsed mode is another story.
If you have 2 identical charged batteries and have
2 different load - one with dc and one with pulses its quite
shure that you can get more out if pulsed....

Maybe you know the pulsed nicd/nimh chargers that charge
the stuff with a high current pulse - and then short circuit  the
accumulator for a short periode to "remove" the unneccesary
charge which heats up the stuff.
