Bedini Solid State Oscillator with Relay Cap Pusler (Astable 555 timer circuit).
Trifilar Air Core Coil.
5,000ohm trigger resistance
10,000ohm flyback trigger resistance
20,000uf Caps charged for 2 seconds then discharged (charge to approx 15v)
2 x 12v 7.2ah Sealed Lead Acid Batteries (Conditioned)
Controlled COP tests showed this schematic to have a COP between 0.3 and 0.54. However, after many tests I suspected that the input may be a lot lower than I think it is. The amp meters are showing it draws 200ma (including 15ma to run the cap pulser).
So I loaded 2 identical batteries down to 12.23v (the Terminal Voltage) with a 50ohm resistor (250ma load) then let them rest for 15 minutes.
Resting voltage of both batteries was then 12.41v.
I then ran the circuit off one of the batteries and charged the other battery for precisely 1 hour.
Then I allowed the batteries to rest for 15 minutes before performing a load test (50ohms, 250ma) and discharged the charging battery to the Terminal Voltage 12.23v.
They were then allowed to rest again before taking a resting voltage measurement.
I repeated this experiment 5 times and the results were are shown on the graph attached to this post (only visible to registered users)
Early results indicate COP 5.3 though the batteries have slightly discharged. This is probably due to too heavy a load in the load tests. To combat this, the next set of experiments will be with a 2 hour operation time.
Overunity has definitely been achieved, though I believe the COP is lower than first estimates. Longer load tests will be necessary to determine actual COP.
After 2 hour operation tests I will then see if swapping the batteries without a load test inbetween results in a higher overall charge.
Then finally I will see if it is possible to close the loop by charging the primary battery during operation.
Wish me luck!
