LCAP (Again) Possible Free Energy. (Voltage Gain Over time)

[TheGeneralHackr]

As a matter of fact, yes, as the voltage had dropped to about 5.082 half way in the week and climbed up till the present 5.084V it is now.

But i do not think this is very meaningfull and falls within the margins of my DMM tolerances and batteries as they react to temperature changes.


We will see how it progresses.

Im pretty certain it isn't because of heat, you can test that its not by using two brand new AA battery's at a certain set volrage. Have one connected to the circuit and one just sitting there and measure the voltage over a weeks time. I bet the voltage won't go up on the battery that's sitting there.

Not looking good, after another week, the voltage has now dropped to 5.081V.

I'm using 1.5V .8Mohm pot.
Maybe that will work?
You should be seeing some gain.
What config did you have it in when it worked?

After another week, the voltage has dropped further to 5.078V.

I could not have the thing run on 1.5V, i started with 2x AA rechargeables (2.4V), and there was some voltage gain, but i still think that was from the rechargeables
being recovering after loading them during earlier testing.
The gain stopped after a day or so.


I will see if i can get it to run on a single rechargeable AA (1.2V) or normal AA (1.5V) at 0.8 Mohm.

There are other things to consider as well.


Such as:


-contact point efficiencies
  i.e.
      Surface area / pressure
      Metal types at each interface
      Number of interfaces


-battery specifications and/or conditions
   Efficiency points for example a given battery
       may charge to a higher "voltage" or potential
       between its' two end-points, but not have a linear scale
       on its' available current, and the sustainability thereof.
   Or charge with less losses at a given impulse voltage/duration.


-or any other such unknown factor of your particular set-up
  that may cause system losses.
