Self Running Micro TPU, with closed loop.

@Groundloop
may I suggest you try with a fully charged battery like 9v? The reason being that when I found this one that is running good I tried with drained batteries but the best was with a battery above 7v. So give it a try!

My voltage now is a record breaking, tada........ 8.22v WOW.  When I removed the meter I did another quick touch on the gate to set it to the sweet spot (most probably a swettER spot) and now voltage is increasing even faster. Man this circuit is kicking my butt.

Now I am playing with a version that does not use a battery but a series of capacitors in a "very weird configuration" (you know, I am a monkey scientist  ).

@Paul-R
you almost correct Paul-R. This design of mine came when I was playing with this document (http://www.esmhome.org/library/john-bedini/report_on_4_battery_switch.pdf) and look at Figure T2 - Test 11A and Test 11B. I was trying to test just one node of the N.Tesla 4 Swtich (like Bedini and Brandt did) and voila here we are.

@Groundloop

voltage this morning was 6.45V which higher than the 6.25V from last night. It is slowly charging that alkaline battery. Going to radio shack today and getting a NIMH battery

I have changed my FET to IRF840 which has a higher internal resistance compared to IRF540.
I can get the circuit to run at ease by touching the gate but I can not get the battery to gain voltage.
The difference between your circuit and mine is that you use a bread board (with a lot of parasitic capacitors)
and I use a vero-board with soldered components. I see no reason why my circuit does not charge the battery.


Groundloop.

I am using a bread board as well, I suppose I could make a circuit with some perf board and see if i have the same non results as well.

@hakware
can you post a picture of your circuit and an schematic?

@plengo
sure when I get home I will post a picture. Schematic is the same as your last post yesterday.
