Hi Stefan
Yes I will you a mechanical switch. What is really beneficial is that I can use the clock itself to deliver the pulse to the battary. Remember I have second, minute , hour hands to perform any and all types of timing functions that may be needed. At 16-20 volts a very nice spark is created to charge the battary.

Hi Bill,
well done.
You can try to "tune" this spark to get more charge.
Try to use different contact material pairs like
copper-graphite
or
magnesium graphite
and this will help alot !

Regards, Stefan.

Outstanding-Thank you!

Next week when I post I will show all values. I have been able to increase my voltage output from .45 volts/5 min. to about .85 volts in 5 minutes. Again I will detail all values next week. I need to file the provisional patent on Monday. Please bare with me.

Bill you must also provide a messurement of amperes, a well sealed dry pile can generate 10,000 volts for over 200 years but its only at one nano-amp which means it generates much less then even a thousandth of a watt per hour. The average US household uses 2kw of power per hour, so as you can see voltage has little bearing on power without also having a proportionaly high amperage. I am exited to hear more about your experiments on this project, I just hope the data is more elaborated.

Thanks for sharing your information,

Ok,I understand. I took a LED ratred at 2.1v with a current draw of 20ma. I charged up one of the capacitors from the device to 2.15 volts. When I connected to the LED I got a light burst.
To use the pulse method to recharge a battary you should pulse it each second. I plan to pluse with 16 volts
which will give me a amp pulse of around 160ma. This should be fine as use a 12vdc battary charger that has two setting 200ma or 600ma.
I have made some significiant strides today in voltage production. I can produce 1 volt/minute or 60volts per hour. Remember I have 28 days to generate electricity!
60 v/hr x 24 hr= 1440 pr day x 28 days= 40320 volts.
If I doubled my pulse voltage to 32 volts which would give me 320ma I would be able to pulse the battary
1260 times (or seconds) which is 21 minutes.
When I connect to by 12 volt charger at 200ma it charges back up in about 4 minutes.
Remember I am experience a voltage drain of  only around 50mv under a full load (winding the clock spring).

Two things to consider:
1. The battary "recovers" 20-30mv on its own within 15 minutes.
2. Because of the small drain I could run the battary once a month for a year (or more) you can see how    much juice  would have to work with over that time and recharge it one a year. Though it is better for the battary to charge it more frequently.
Notice I am using 28 days instead of 30. I do not want to run the clock all the way down. It will be eaiser to regage (rewind) at a specific time rather than at a specific rate.
