Here is the latest captret i've been working on. battery started with 6.31 volts but now is up to 6.37 volts . The other battery voltage went up to 1.661 volts but has been dropping and is now at 1.122 volts. Whats weird about his circuit is that higher charge battery should be the one going down and the lower charge battery should be going up so that they would equal themselves out, but the opposite happens.

The voltage in the capacitor - and the + are also going up too.

I'm thinking about replacing the lower battery voltage one with a super cap to see if i get the same effect.

The lower voltage battery's negative terminal becomes the positive and the higher battery negative terminal becomes the negative.

Here is a link to a Rex Research article by Gregory Hodowanec.
http://www.rexresearch.com/1hodorhys/remag86/remag86.htm

It basically shows that if you connect a discharged electrolytic (the larger the better) cap
to a high impedance op amp you can see various spikes, peaks and valleys displayed on
the scope over time.

I tested this using some very high impedance op amps that I had available at the time
and there was definitely a lot of activity across the cap that I could not account for.

I did this shortly after the Radio Electronics magazine article was released back in April
of 1986.

Their claim in the article and the link is that the changes in voltage were the result of
changes in gravity or scaler waves.

I'll have to dig that magazine up sometime as I don't throw anything away. But it may
be buried  pretty deep and the link pretty much goes over everything, and then some,
compared to the magazine article.

Take care.

@e2matrix,

I'm currently running a test with a 9V (actually 8,4V) NiCad, 150mAh.
I never could get this to work until I discovered that all my electrolytic
capacitors wanted to be positive at the can measured against the negative
terminal. So I used a ultra fast diode as shown in the attached drawing.
My NiCad has SLOWELY been gaining voltage from 7,36 Volt (yesterday)
to 7,56 Volt (today). I have no conclusions yet if the battery has gained
any real charge. One thing is for sure, I have repeated a shorting test of a capacitor
many times, and it always charge back to approx. 0,05 Volt. So the anomaly
of capacitor self charge is real. All my recharging tests with 9V depleted Duracell
batteries has been negative so far.

Alex.

Thanks for looking into this Groundloop.  It's always great to see input from you on something like this as I know you understand much of this better than most of us.  I haven't read further here in the thread yet to see if you have more results on the battery that seemed to be charging but I am encouraged somewhat by your observations.  It does seem like a rather small increase but as I understand it NiMH and the like might have a very small self recovery for a short period after use but will not continue to recover like an alkaline.  Has this continued to increase (assuming it's still running) ?

Here is my results so far with my latest captret circuit.
