4 Mhz Solid State Radiant Battery Charger

Perhaps if you replace the final output inductor with a transformer of the right inductance you can isolate
the output from the circuit to keep it oscillating.
And then draw the output current from the other side of the transformer.
I have been testing different circuit concepts using the following circuit simulator applet, and found that
using a transformer sometimes solves this very type of problem.

The load on the other side of the transformer doesn't have the same effect on the rest of the circuit as a direct connection does.
I don't have a copy of the latest SEC built yet so I can't do any testing.

im looking at this curcuit as a simple desulfator circuit. The 2 battery set up is doable and looks like it would work (i have not tested yet) however a one battery solution would be better, perhaps we could work out how to add a part to the following diagram in the red circle to block undesired flow? or maybe the circuit needs to be largely redone? the way i see it we need to block spikes or sudden changes in power yet allow steady constant or semi constant flow from the battery. the issue is that there is not only a large spike to worry about but many smaller spikes and we want to keep them forced through the battery which a suitable return path is allso needed. a simple diode could provide the return path at a cost of another .7v which seems like a waste. another inductor at the red circle may direct the large pulse through the battery but there will be some losses. any suggestions?

imagin a bedini style charger that uses one battery only!

i have designed the same circuit as shown in attachment, working good, but i want to upgrade it to the next level, i have 10 batteries 150 Ah per battery.
i did a little alternation (below) to the circuit can it work? if not then please guide me how to gain more power.

The dual version should work lancerdoom, but I would recommend you change the diodes to 1N4007's or something with even higher breakdown voltage. The 1N4007 breakdown voltage is 1000V.

Golly Poynty,

Are you in the race for Stephan's prize too?  Seems a bit odd.    And why aren't you alerting these brave souls to the existence of your own prize?  I believe you've more or less thrashed out the terms by now?  Your hands on involvement here seems somewhat inappropriate if it means you get the first working demonstration and walk off with both your prize and Stephan's.

Regards,
