COP 20.00 (2000%) Times, Reactive Power Energy Source Generator,

[garrettm4]

Here's the LTspice simulation of the circuit when ran at 60 Hz and no PWM (can't seem to figure out how to produce PWM with LTspice). Looks very close to Babcock's waveforms. This really might be the equivalent circuit of what they were using.

Once concern about this whole circuit is the amount of electric charge returned on the discharge cycle; basic physics says it will be one half the charging cycle's value. And this seems to be shown by the simulation as well.

Ratios inherent with parallel/series transformations:

C= value of 1 cap

total capacitance ----- 2*C : 1/2*C
total electric charge -- 2*Q : 1*Q
voltage across cap --- 1*V_s : 2*V_s
energy stored --------- 1:1

Below is the correct power and line current diagram. For some reason I didn't realize that the current on the next switching cycle would be in the same direction as the previous one. Any ways, this is more or less what the signal would look like if you could force double pulse sinusoidal currents with the fundamental being the same as line frequency.

After a quick analysis, the SERPS concept forces a resistive load to look reactive, which allows the reuse of about 50% of the previous total electric charge to do work a second time (since the parallel/series capacitor switcher is basically a charge pump). The 50% reuse is a MAXIMUM limit, set by the physics of a conservative capacitor. My simulation calcs show I was able to obtain around 40% reuse in practice.

As for energy and power I haven't done any calcs on those since I can't figure out how to perform math operations (integration/multiplication etc.) on LTspice simulation data... But prospectively the circuit should cut down on energy use by 20-40%. Definitely not a COP of 50! I think that figure is a load of crap. Comments welcome.

Hi Garett,


Thanks for the update. Do you see any other chips that might be a bit cheaper that would do the job? I was thinking of using an Arduino controller to control the switching and optimize it experimentally.

Surely if there is any OU in this principal then a simple experiment as suggested in the drawing below would show it with careful
measurement. I just drew two drawings to show the two phases of charging the capacitors through the resistor (load)
in parallel and then the same capacitors reconfigured in series and discharged through the resistor back to the supply.

I think those who are know the math should be able to analyse the circuit on paper and get a result of input to output.

I think the difference between energy supplied and energy returned will give the energy consumed and the energy dissipated by
the resistive load will be the output to be compared with the energy consumed.

Won't a DC analogy give a similar result to one half cycle of AC ? We can generate sinusoidal AC if we want to and plenty of
(out of phase power) as well but that's just another loss. Why can't we do it with DC ?
