I posted this here a couple of years ago bit I thought I would revisit it agin with a new application.
The device can generate 3 volts stored in a cap bank in 60 minutes. From this I can generate about 120 seconds of hydrogen until the voltage drops to under 1.4 volts. The clock motor will
run for 8 days or 11520 minutes before have to be rewond. Rewinding takes 12 seconds out of the total of 691,200 seconds of run time. Does it take more energy to rewind the clock manually than what can be generated by the energy stored in the H? I don't know yet.
The device can run 24/7 and does not need any other input other than the manual wind.
I thought I might throw this out for discussion. Here is the youtube info: Thank Bill

Hi Bill.
Thanks for the video. can you get the magnet array closer to the coil array?
also, could you make the Arrays bigger or does Lens Law effect it to much already?
Jerry
Lens law does come into play. The back emf will stop the magnet swing if to close. The magnet
config. weighs about one lb. I can easily swing 8 lb. So this is would result in a much greater power output than what is shown. Bigger magnets and coils and or more magnets and coils.
This is a interesting exercise. Also this could be hooked up in one or more devices in series to create additional voltage. This is very scalable.

Inventor of the windup radio, instead of a pendulum, a large spring drives a generator, same principal.
I looked at his work, his wind up radio will work for about 60 minutes with around 20 seconds of windup time. My device will work for 8 days or 192 hours. Also by using a 30 day clock motor this device would run for 720 hours before having to be rewond.
