It's probably the reed switches failing.

I agree. Must be solid state for long term run. There are so many variables here and with no circuit posted on the recovery methods, who knows. Then too, maybe not enough excess power to run electronics package.

There is supposed to be a series of additional talks/experiments in January so perhaps we will learn more then.

By the way, I sincerely apologize for repeating myself about this. But could you explain to me that circuit you mentioned earlier that uses diodes/bridge rectifier to put flyback current back into the battery? I'm just really eager to learn how this can be done. I am planning on building a pulse motor and want to use the concept. I've read about the Bedini motors and how they charge a seperate battery, but that does not sound too interesting to me. I want to know how to charge the same battery I'm using (if it turns out to be OU or not).

Can anyone please tell us if the current is flowing in the right direction in diagram in that post?

I really need to know.

Yes, the current appears to be flowing in the right direction. The inductor wants to keep current flowing, this is basic circuit laws. I don't think the simulation is lying to us.

I'm really surprised this question isn't being answered here.

The problem I see is that before and after the switches are opened the current is flowing in the same direction across the inductor.

My understanding of flyback from a collapsing magnetic field is that it produces a current moving in the opposite direction that created it.
