Tesla Switch need help

[plengo]

just a note:  only one wire of the secondary of the SSG coils gives HV. The other one shows only small voltages. Very strange.

The fourth battery charges impressively fast. All the batteries, with the exception of one, stays at the same voltage. The one that is loosing voltage loses at 10x less, or slower, than the one the gains voltage via the coil. For each 0.01v lost I gain at least 0.1v.

The voltage created via the coils is NOT ghost voltage. Under test it stands a good charge (i.e. running a car light).

I think this is it. This 3 battery system is presenting good behaviors that are an improvement of all the others that I already noted with simplified nodes.

The next step is to replace relays with solid state (I ordered the correct ones now) and move to the 4 batteries switch.

Load is HIGHLY influent on the overall aspects of the system. Voltage on load will be automatically delivered based on the load characteristics. Current will also follow the load's needs. That will be a problem if one wants more output power and still keep the batteries charged. We can improve on that after this system is in working conditions. In other words, impedance is extremely important.

Whoever will try this, be very carefull with the coil wires. It is ***REALLY*** high voltage. 500+volts. It can kill you. I got a shock and I did not like it at all. It is really worse than sticking your fingers directly at an outlet (120vac).

Here is my design, low tec version. So far timer and relays works, all is left to connect the batteries.
The batteries I got are 4 standart 12 v lead acid core. Made for small tractors.
I just numbered the relay connection wires/terminals, or else it's to complicated to make the drawings.

Possibly relay contacts will burn out! If the load will be too large!. It will be interesting to see what the
come out of this experiment will be?

I only remember having those strong feelings about something when I was living in Brazil and having many girl friends per month. A new girl friend, life was great. After break-up, everything was horrible. I feel the same with science. Experiments are going great, I am in love. They fail, I am in horrible shape.

Up and downs of life. Well. I used to that. Now back to work.

The 3 batteries switch is simply phenomenal. It was working very well until it simply died and died fast. So I decided to recharge all the batteries using my SSG and try another test with all at the same level, instead of how I had it. One fully charged and the other 2 half so.
In the process of charging the batteries I had an idea, why not use my SSG as the load, which is a much more efficient way to charge another battery instead of what I was doing with one coil that was going craizy with all that AC (magnetic field collapsing and before even finished here came another current to create another field, but ops, this time inverted and so forth).

With the SSG as the load a few things I could notice already on the begginning of the test:
1 - It adjusts itself as a load to the 3 bat switch. Its impedance changes as the charging battery changes and therefore the "load" seen by the "tesla switch" changes. That's absolutely great.
2 - SSG is charging a fourth battery much more efficiently than I could ever want.
3 - The 3 batteries are behaving a little bit different now, since all are charged almost to full capacity, but with different impedance for the load, they are much more stable in their voltages holding
4 - It seams that one of the batteries of the 3 is actually charging!!! (Time will tell).

Happy new years guys and get drunk but dont get lost!!!

just an update. My 3 batteries switch is running now for more than 24 hours and I already outputed about 20watts of power out of those 3 batteries plus another one that has being charged by the SSG machine that is used as a load on the 3 batteries switch.

I also tried today closing the loop, connecting not only one battery to the SSG but also another output from the same SSG back to one of the 3 batteries on the switch system.

It is working wonderfully. The wheel is spinning at about 600rpm and everything seams to be (after switching back and fourth the batteries) at stable voltages. Output increased to 12v and 200ma and fluctuates at min 6.5v and 60ma up to 16v and 500ma.

I think I already ran the power that was available on these batteries a long time ago and that is based on previous load tests I have been doing because of the SSG project (SSG = Simplified School Girl motor from Bedini).

Closing the loop seams to work well because the batteries are on and off by the switch plus the 22000uf caps that is decoupling things a bit.

I have to tell you, this thing is working at least very efficiently. Time will tell. I think if it runs without having to recharge any of the batteries for a week this is most definitely a super efficient device. I can't barely wait to try the 4 batteries switch, but one step at the time with lots of testing in between. I am also collecting all the output into the computer and running calculations based on the data. It is not super good data because of the speed of sampling but it is good enough for this preliminary tests.

Man I am very curious to know how your tests are going.
