David Bowling's Continuous Charging Device

[Dbowling]

It has always been my hope that this could be replicated by replacing battery number three with something else that duplicated the properties of the "bad" battery once there was a working model (again). But getting it to work again is the challenge. Now that my notes have shown me that we used two different motors and it still worked, I KNOW that the motor was not the key. I still have the motor we used as the second motor. I also know that changing from the battery cable to other wires was the point at which it quit working, so it's important to USE battery cables if I want to replicate what DID work. Maybe it is as simple as that, and tomorrow I will be going to Home Depot Lawn and Garden and getting those battery cables to give it a shot. Once that variable has been removed, that leaves battery number three as the ONE thing that has to be duplicated and I have given as much info about that as I have. Now people just need to experiment as I will be doing.


Once you have seen something like this working as I have, it is impossible for anyone to tell you that it "can't" or "won't" work; that there is "no such thing as free energy." I have to admit, there were times at the beginning when I doubted myself, because people I respected kept telling me it was not possible and wanted me to do all kinds of different things to "measure" it, but when I spend almost a full week charging and discharging a battery until I had produced ten or twenty times as long run times as I could possibly have gotten out of the three batteries in the system, while running the motor the whole time, and none of the batteries had gone down in charge, and had in fact increased in charge, it was enough to make a believer out of me for life. I doubt it would have made that much of an impression if I had seen someone else doing it on YouTube, but when you do it yourself, you become a believer. NOBODY can ever convince me that free energy is all a fraud now. That doesn't mean I'm a sucker for everybody who claims to have a free energy device, nor will I buy one from anybody. I just know it is within our power to build one, which is why I will never give up researching this as long as I live.

Ok, so I started my experimenting again today with the three batteries. Here is a YOuTube link to my first video.

NOTE: I had the WRONG gage labeled as the one connected to battery 3. If you will notice, before I flip the switch, the correct gage (which is right next to it and luckily shows up in the videos) shows no voltage for battery 3, but the minute I hit the switch it jumps to 24 volts. I didn't even notice this unit I watched the video, because I never looked at that gauge until I figured out I had labeled the wrong gauge as connected to battery 3.


The voltage jumped to 24 volts but the motor did NOT come on.
When the voltage dropped down to around 18 volts, the motor came on and is running. So far, so good. If it shuts off when the voltage drops to 9 volts, I will have repeated my original experiment.  I am continuing to take videos. Monday I will set up my video camera on the tripod and run through the whole process from beginning to end.

The voltage on Battery 3 did not drop down to 9 volts and the motor never shut off on its own. It stabilized at 13 volts.



I ran it all night and when I went down in the basement this morning the voltages on batteries 1 & 2 were down. So it didnt work. But before I try a different battery at the 3 position I am going to try a different motor. It dawned on me during the night that this is probably NOT a brushed DC motor I am using and it needs to be or there is no spark gap.


Also I never saw the conditions exactly as with the original. These are the conditions you MUST have before proceeding with ANY OTHER TESTING!!!:


1. When the switch is flipped to complete the circuit, the motor does NOT start. (check- this happened)


2. The voltage on battery 3 jumps to above 24 volts. (check!)


3. The voltage on battery 3 goes slowly down. (check!)


4. When voltage reaches around 18 volts the motor comes on. (check!)


5. The voltage continues to go down to around 9 volts and the motor shuts off by itself. (The voltage went down to around 13 volts and seemed to level off there. That's where it was when I went to bed and it was in the same place this morning, but I can't say for sure that it ran all night) So this condition was NOT met.


6. When the motor shuts off by itself, the batter voltage on battery 3 jumps to 24 volts and the system starts over again. (Since condition 5- the motor shutting off by itself when battery 3 reaches about 9 volts- was not met, this condition was not met either.)


7. The wires connecting the batteries should be as large as possible I am using stranded AWG 6 wire, and using battery cables would be even better I think.


Back to the bench!!
1. Make sure my motor is brushed DC.
2. Make sure batteries 1 & 2 are completely charged from the wall.
3. Make sure battery 3 is a "bad" battery

One thing I forgot to mention. MY battery number three which was a "bad" battery and would neither take nor hold a charge, charged up to 12 volts overnight in the three battery setup, and is holding a charge. It is no longer a "bad" battery, so I will have to find a different battery to use in these experiments.

You don't have to buy another dead battery.  Just place a reasonably sized load on a battery overnight, & it will be dead by morning.

A good load would be a 12V spotlight, or a 12V headlight bulb, or a 12V motor, etc.
Or you could even use 2 or 3 of said items simultaneously overnight to make it drain faster.

Thank you for sharing your results & posts David.
