So by charging the battery with a cap pulser set up we are converting the radiant energy back a more standard form of electricity to charge the battery. This should allow us to have better performance swapping the batteries to run an inductive load like the SSG.
I haven't verified this, though I have heard it many times from reliable sources. I have only just started playing with a cap pulsing set up and so may have a better impression in the next couple of weeks.
There are many ways to discharge the capacitor into the battery... some use a 555 timer to discharge the capacitor at set intrervals using a relay though this circuit is a bit tedious.
a very simple way to do it would be with an SCR (or thyristor) triggered by a neon bulb. Though saying that, I have just fried all four of the SRCs I bought last week
Being impatiant, I thought it might be possible to do with the 2N3055 transistor... and it works!!!
attached is the schematic I am using on my modified computer fan to pulse the capacitor into the charging battery.
the resistor is 660 ohms, the capacitor is 220mf...
when the capacitor charges up to around 80-90volts, the neon lights which turns on the transistor and discharges the capacitor into the charging battery.
With my computer fan running on 90ma, the neon pulses every 5 seconds and the capacitor drops from around 80 volts to 30 volts.
This probably isn't the best way to do it though it is certainly simple!
