I'm not one to get prematurely excited...but can someone explain this

My trans charged battery seems to have reached its limit @ 8.25 vdc.

My motor charged battery is still gaining slowly and now reads 7.44 vdc.

It will be interesting to see if it will level off before full charge is reached.

Although I am not getting the same wild findings as before, batteries seem to be charging nonetheless.

Once it reaches its top level I will repeat the process in the micro wave...after reheating my pizza of course.

I am seeing a lot of excellent ideas and suggestions...who knows someone stumble on to something else viable in the process.

In an effort to ramp things up, I attempted to incorporate a magnet and hollow coil.

While poking around, I applied an magnet to a coil recovered from an answering machine.

This coil had a metal? pin which was drawn in and out of the coil during the machine's function.

I found that if I aligned the magnet in a certain manner to the coil, the pin would shoot out...and whenever I push it back in, it pops right back out again...this can be done over and over.

I have never seen a regular ceramic magnet repel a piece of metal which has no magnetic properties on its own...has anyone else ?

I'm am open to suggestions on how this force can be applied...not only on my circuits, but on any device.

7.48 vdc on the motor charger...still climbing...though slowly.

any idea  how that coil is wound?

if  it  could be  turned on and  off again  it might   be the start of a  motor .


The only  thing  I can  think of that  pushes with magnetic  fields is  when   2 of the same magnetic  feilds oppose  each other ........is the  metal  pin magnitised?  Do  other  metal  pieces  do the same as the pin?

"any idea  how that coil is wound?"

...the coil has one line and one out...leads are not connected to anything when this occurs.

"if  it  could be  turned on and  off again  it might   be the start of a  motor."

...I'm not sure what you mean.

"The only  thing  I can  think of that  pushes with magnetic  fields is  when   2 of the same magnetic  feilds oppose  each other ........is the  metal  pin magnitised?"

...no, the pin doesn't attract anything, other than my attention.


"Do  other  metal  pieces  do the same as the pin?"

...I haven't tried any other pieces yet...I would have to mill a piece of metal to the same dimension, in order to determine that.

It is a very interesting effect though, with the potential yet to be determined.

The latest motor charger reading is now 7.50 vdc

Dr.Green,
Your fan is a most likely a DC-DC motor (lots of electronics), not a standard DC motor.
Your capacitor is nothing like 22,000uF.

Cap Z-ro,
What kind of 9V battery are you using...zinc carbon, Alkaline, NiCd, NimH ?
Have you tried to discharge the battery and measured the capacity down to say 7V.
