And build the pendulum really big, maybe 3 Meters long thread and at least a 100 Kg weight with all the magnets

The longer the pendulum, the longer each swing takes.

Yes it takes longer, but you also can stack besides it more coils, so you have more charge pulses. You have of course make sure, that the generated current with its Lenz law back drag effect will not slow down your pendulum motion too much, so loose coupling ala new bike generator is much suggested..

Nothing can be coupled to the pendulum the slightest tention will cause it to stop. yes the longer the pendulum and the heaver it is the slower it swings. The answer is to have just the right combination of magnets to achieve the optimium results. I can connect a LED to the system and as the magnets swing in and out of the coils
gets a continous paulse of light. This does not impress me that much. My interest is to be able to charge up a battery (s) over the long time period to do something useful.
My numbers tell me that I can still have enough juice stored in the battery(s) to do what I want.
Obviously the best thing is to be able to generate enough of a emf , around 15volts+ to charge the battery
directly from the coils. This has always been the goal. This simply requires that the system be ramped up.
Magnets moving in and out of a coil give me a pulsed voltage.
This is perfect:           
                                        1. It allows me to paulse charge the battery
                                        2. Gives me a stable platform from which to draw from.

The goal here is to be able to charge up multiple batteries (remember that 28 days looms large) and have
a real stable, closed loop power system.
                                       
                                         THIS WOULD BE TRUELY AWESOME!!!!!

Actually weight has little or no effect on pendulum physics, but as you stated the EMF drag will slow it and inhibit its swing distance. Also I must agree with Stefan again, the battery will only provide skeptics with disbelief. Have you considered my experiment???

-Drain the battery with a lamp as load overnight (12+ hours)
-Manually reset system
-run for 1 month cycle with no loads
-see if the automated motor will fully reset system. (this is unity)

good luck,

How would this prove overunity?

First if I totally drain the battery it will most likely wreck it. So lets say I take it down 50% to 6 volts. During the month I charge it back up to 11-12 volts by paulseing daily once I have enough juice stored in the caps do do so efficiently. At the end of the month I run the clock and rewind so it starts again.
This is what I have been proposing all along. The only difference is that why do I have to run the clock down so It can set for a month and not do anything.
Possibly I'm not getting what you mean. Your input has been very helpful so far but I guess I don't quite
understand this suggestion.
