JOULESTEEM Charging Experiments: The High Power Charger Variant with BACKUP - Post #51

The circuit as illustrated below is a variant of the JOULESTEEM High Power Charger as per my last post that can be read here:

Further, this is another variant of the JOULESTEEM GI Metal Variant, but this time it is improved substantially by adding an LC high pass filter circuit at the antenna end and further boosted by the effect of the grounding in one direction on the same arrangement within the LC high pass filter.

I need to mention in this post that this is by far the best circuit that I had arranged that charges big batteries optimally while at the same time the source batteries seems to “self recharge”.

The addition of the backup batteries at the GI metal end of the circuit will enable this circuit to run and charge the big capacity batteries “theoretically forever” (cross our fingers).

AN IMPROVED CIRCUIT FOR CHARGING BIG CAPACITY BATTERIES WITH SOURCE BACKUP

Illustrated below is the circuit of a JOULESTEEM High Power Charger with BACKUP source batteries (another variant to the GI Metal grounding approach):

It may be worth explaining as to “how” this new variant has become another step better than the previous high power charger:

1. The source batteries at 2x 11 volts in series is arranged for a total of 22 volts; this enables the circuit to charge 2x big capacity batteries (70Ah in parallel), with said big batteries as the main source of power for any important electrical loads. A very versatile example of a load is an “inverter” which transforms DC voltage to AC voltage to power common household appliances; even at 150 watts total load this will be a very helpful circuit arrangement for remote and offgrid home locations.

2. The charge batteries at the GI metal end of the circuit is arranged to be able for the said circuit to have a backup source batteries just in case; best if these 7Ah batteries will be “swapped” every 3 hours so as to have a longer lifespan.

3. The addition of an LC circuit at the antenna part of the JOULESTEEM is able to “high pass filter” the frequencies as picked up by the antenna, the immediate effect for such an arrangement is that the circuit runs at very low drain to the source batteries but at the same time the big capacity batteries were being charged.

It is worth noting that the big capacity batteries as charged were intended to be used for “any useful” electrical loads. Just imagine if said batteries will be the batteries for an inverter, then powering up AC household appliances up to about 150 watts can be achieved already.

If this circuit will run forever, imagine one’s relief if one’s home is at the top of Mount Everest (just to emphasize the real purpose of such offgrid approaches to low-power electrical needs which comprises the majority of needs in all homes).

PRELIMINARY RESULTS AND OBSERVATIONS

High Power Charger with BACKUP Literally Means Power Forever In Every Home

My main pupose in the study of these unusually efficient circuits is to have a simple means to charge big batteries “consistently” at any time of the day and at any location. No sun? No problem. No wind? No problem. But no more source batteries? This is clearly a problem of the previous circuits no matter how powerful they may be; hence, a BACKUP source battery that is charged while the main source batteries are doing its job of charging big capacity batteries will be a very welcome development.

Not only are the preliminary results interesting, but very very unusual indeed for this high power charger variant, I will enumerate:

1. The small source batteries is clearly running at very low discharge rate; as an experimenter’s opinion, I can clearly observe that it is somewhat self-charging from “unknown” power sources as picked up by the antenna thru the high pass LC filter.

2. The big charge batteries are clearly charged optimally, even at 2x parallel arrangement. This is a very odd behaviour for this circuit because the smaller sized source batteries are seemingly “discharging very slow”, in fact it is very slow because there is a certain voltage level that the small source batteries seems to stop discharging and yet the big capacity batteries kept charging.

3. The frequency is fairly high at about 500 Hz to 1.2Khz at its optimal operation; this indicates a good performance.

4. The oscillating transistor is not hot to the touch, rather it is somewhat cold. The switching transistor at the GI pipe end is a little bit warm to the touch, this is due to the fact that the said transistor is processing the “hot” electricity type as gathered by the capacitor and dumped into the small backup batteries for charging purposes.

5. The charges on the charge batteries are “for real”, both for the backup small sized batteries and the big capacity charge batteries. If I replace the source batteries with the backup batteries, it will be the backup batteries’ turn to seemingly not discharge.

6. The one-way connection of the ground as arranged on the LC high pass filter clearly adds to the good performance; the circuit will not oscillate and start if no grounding is present. This also adds to my conclusion that both the “air” and the “ground” have electrical potentials, clearly demonstrating the effects of a big Earth capacitor as described by the late Nikola Tesla.

7. Overall the circuit is running cold all the while charging big capacity batteries and the small backup batteries. Amazing to say the least because we now have a circuit that makes it all possible for us to just swap batteries to become source batteries; the possibilities will be endless if we will succeed in this experimentation.

UNSATISFACTORY RESULTS FROM THE PREVIOUS GI VARIANT CIRCUIT RUN

It is also worth noting in this post the final results of the previous circuit as discussed earlier on post #50, in which the GI variant High Power Charger did not effectively charge the big capacity batteries due to switching problems, it seems that the transistor is kept at a “closed” state due to fact that the 3 watts bulb is somewhat small and will readily turn on the transistor in a continuous fashion which is not good for charging big capacity batteries.

A new approach has to be devised so that the transistor will turn on and turn off at set intervals as dictated by the LED bulb which acts as the primary switching mechanism. This exact problem was solved by the addition of the LC high pass filter and the ground which all acts as a natural on-off switch as far as the LED bulb is concerned, exactly like a push-pull action.

THIS WILL BE OUR BASIS FOR OUR FUTURE JOULESTEEM EXPERIMENTS

I need to say to everyone reading these posts that this circuit as presented in this blog post #51 of the JOULESTEEM circuit will be the very foundation of all experimentations as will be presented in the next blogs. We have already achieved ery good results, even if still at an initial stage. Our experimentations will satisfy all our questions in the upcoming blogs. It is my sole aim that the JOULESTEEM circuit will be able to run loads in all homes all over the world, even at the 150 watts range with a mix of “forever” will surely bring many solutions especially in cold places as well as very remote areas where sun and wind is an impossibility.

We can do this guys; please support these posts, share it to as many people as you can, come visit these posts and upvote the JOULESTEEM circuit.

Stay warm tonight those of you in the midst of unending snows.
