Captret - Capacitor and Electret

[altrez]

Hello!

Can you please post a diagram for how I should have my battery chargers hooked up? I think there wrong as well. I cant get any battery / Cap combo I have tried to charge a dead battery.

Thank you so very much.

if you're tying to charge batteries with the captret then there's more than one way. You can start from the beginning of this thread or http://www.energeticforum.com/renewable-energy/6684-captret-perpetual-light-dead-batteries.html

I and many others have found many ways to charge batteries, but the charge was slow. Even though i and many others could get a battery to charge at no loss the charge was very little.

There simple things like this you can try http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wbn4vede2us

if you want to really get into the charging then you should check out what Plengo's doing here http://www.overunity.com/index.php?topic=10175.0

there's not just one thing you can try but many things! The captret was merely to get people to think and come up with uses for it, i never expect it to be a battery charger. As for your current setup it might be the capacitors, some work better than others. I find that 220uF 50v capacitors work great for some things, try to avoid super caps too.

Hi Folks,

I have a very stupid question. I hope you don't mind.

What is the easiest way to permanently connect the "O" pin of an electrolytic capacitor?

According to Plengo, there is no charging in his experiment.

I have bad news updates. Switching the batteries total voltage went DOWN. Now it is about 14.67v way below the initial 18v.

Sooooo, I think this design is not working.

Thanks to all for the support and the ideas.

Fausto.

Hi Blue Planet
What is the easiest way to permanently connect the "O" pin of an electrolytic capacitor?

I heat a bare wire with my solder iron and drop some solder on it. I While there is still a hot droplet on the wire I quickly press it against some cold steel. The solder will not adhere to the cold steel but will stick to th ehot wire. This gives me a wide and flat connection at the end of the wire. I then palce the wire at the O position and use liquid tape to secure the wire and lead contact to the capacitor.
