OU/COP>1 switched cap PS cct like Tesla's 'charge siphoning'

LOL @ "hi hello"  -  bonsoir Mr Dishual

so .... the entire output of the English automobile industry was bought up by just 3 gentlemen from France, eh? 

in their time, they were all cool cars - still classics now - i think many countries used to make quality items, but not so much now, perhaps

...and the seagull outboard - what a legionnaire! - you have to admire a company who admit their product is so noisy by actually advising in their user manual that you be careful not to talk about people in other boats nearby because you won't be able to hear them but they'll be able to hearing you shouting to each other over the noise of the engine

i don't know if Archer produced arrows - but i'm sure they could have supplied you with some diodes which had point-contacts!

maybe you could tape many small ferrites together to make one big fat one? actually, that would be an interesting experiment sometime...

i'm happy to help with sourcing the difficult-to-get parts if i can - i'm thinking that maybe the postage & import tax will cost more than the parts themselves?  perhaps we can do an exchange - i'll send you some parts & you can send me an Alan Stivell CD?

Bonsoir Sandy

The noise of the Seagull outboard motor. LOL!

Alan Stivell. OK. Do you know Denez Pigent?

The postage tax are sometimes not so huge.
I already have purchased some things from USA.
Notably a very nice and efficient Stirling Engine.



I will send soon you a personal email.
This evening I'm "snowed under" (according to my dictionary!),
However the weather if fine here in Brittany .

Cordialement,

interesting update on the cap self-recharge effect....

i just checked the circuit after being on vacation for 7 days

after the last test run (Sat 17 May) i discharged the output cap to 0V tho' Rload and then shorted the cap for a few seconds and when i left, after about an hour, it's voltage had risen from 0V to 0.29V

the circuit has been disconnected from the input cap and any test-gear for 7 days - but on checking the output cap this morning, the voltage is at 0.64V

(if this isn't evidence of 'capacitive inertia' i want to know what is!)

Hi Sandy,

Have you noticed this letter here? http://www.overunity.com/index.php/topic,4124.msg101296.html#msg101296
User zaydana also experienced electrolytic  capacitor self-recharge effect...

@NerzhDishual  you have got a very nice piece of Stirling engine! Maybe it is able to work with a few degree of temperature difference?

Cheers,  Gyula

@NerzhDishual
that's one neat machine!  did you buy it to replace the seagull?!?   

seriously, i'd be interested to hear about any experiments you have planned for it

no, i hadn't heard of Denez Pigent (Prigent?) before - did he fall out of another Breton tree? i found a YouTube song "Son Alma Ata" of his - nice fusion of traditional melody & modern rhythm

the Celtic music certainly stirs my blood - i guess being 1/4 Scottish helps!

look forward to hearing from you when the snow clears 


@Gyulasun
thanks for the link, interesting to read of other reports of the self-recharge - i also found an old 1920s (i think) paper about 'condenser re-charge' using Rochelle salts as dielectric - so the effect has quite a history

Hello Nul-Points,

I have received my expensive one Farad/5 Volts caps and other stuffs.
For the moment I'm playing with my Dallas_Gold_Bug electrodes.
So, the snow is no still so clear 4 me "switched-cap-wise". 

Yes, this Stirling Engine is very silent but of any help in any rowing boat.
Actually, I do not use it. I sometimes buy things only because they are good-looking,
nice and charming (paintings for example).

I however managed to have it slowly running with a glass fulled of few ice cubes
on his top. I'm wondering if Sadi Carnot were OK 

This Denez Prigent music is sometimes weird, sad and the lyrics full of
'funereal' stories. He is a real Breton! Yes, he should have fallen from some 
bewitched hanged men Breton tree.

As a matter of fact being 1/4 Scottish helps when listening this music.
BTW: as I can see you have carefully gone through my web site...

I will send you a CD of Denez. (Whois is indiscreet). 

Very Best
