Practical Guige to Free Energy Devices

But suppose we were to reduce that time period to just one second, then the battery could be very small indeed
and if we were to reduce the time period to one tenth of a second, then the battery power would be tiny compared
to the power needed to run the light for say, one hour. This may seem trivial and obvious, but it this is leading up
to a strategy which could be useful.
Fairly recently, super capacitors have become available at reasonable price, with a 2.5V 5F capacitor costing as
little as £3. Just to put this in perspective, in electronics, a 1000 microfarad capacitor is considered large and a
10,000 microfarad capacitor is considered to be very large. Well, a 5F capacitor is 500 times larger than a 10,000
microfarad capacitor. These capacitors charge up fully in just a few seconds, are 100% efficient and should
remain operational for many years if not many decades.
Suppose then, that we were to connect a 6-volt bulb across a 6-volt lead-acid battery. If the battery were charged
to say, 6.6 volts (measured one hour after being disconnected from a battery charger) and the lamp were
connected across the battery and left lit until the battery voltage dropped to 5.0 volts (on load, as it will gain a
good deal of voltage when the load is disconnected). Then that determines how long the battery can power the
lamp when the battery is discharged that much.
It would be interesting to see if that length of time could be extended without using a larger battery. Suppose we
were to connect a set of three of those super capacitors in series to form a 7.5V capacitors of 1.67F capacity, and
then implemented the following circuit:
using a simple NE555 circuit to drive the relay On and Off once per second. Then, the battery would only be
connected to the lamp for half of the time and it would be ‘resting’ for half of the time. That sounds like a mad idea
as when the battery is connected it will have to both light the lamp and top up the charge in the capacitor, and
some current is needed to run the NE555 circuit and drive the relay. That results in a poorer performance than
before.
However, as the battery is disconnected for half of the time, we can use that fact to our advantage by extending
the circuit to this arrangement:
This makes the battery draw even worse as there are now two large capacitors which have to be topped up every
second while the lamp is being powered and the NE555 circuit is also being powered. But, for half of the time, the
relay is in its other position which connects capacitor “C2” to the battery pulse-charger, and at the same time, the
‘resting’ battery is connected to the output of the battery charger, feeding additional charge to it.
You might feel that a charging period of half a second is far too short to be of any use, but that is actually not the
case. In chapter 5, there is mention of the 1989 patent US 4,829,225 granted to Yury Podrazhansky and Phillip
