jettis,
Shhhhhhhh, you're giving away all our secrets! If you don't stop it, someone might actually build the thing and start messing with it like I TOLD them to. Then where will we be!!
Just be careful of the loads you put on the motors. Running generators with air core coils that will speed up under load is the way to go. Barely any resistance for the motor to overcome so the batteries do not draw down at all. Things are a little different when you put the motors under load, but go slow and you will find the limits.
I have been slowly purchasing 12 volt deep cycle (150 amp hour) batterie over the last few months and am up to 10 now, so that I could run some long term tests and collect the data. We have SO MANY skeptics who aren't willing to try this until they see the data, and my plan was to have all new batteries to run a test for a few weeks with a large system using higher voltage to show what this circuit is capable of.
Think about this. If you are running pulse motors with a 50% duty cycle, so that 50% of the time they are acting as generators, while your flywheel keeps your attached air core generator turning at speed, once you have that flywheel up to speed, or even WITOUT one you might be able to put out a little power with this setup at an EXTREMELY low cost.
I had to edit this because there is one thing I forgot to mention. If you have a motor or generator you can use as a load, try it with EACH of the motors. I think you will see different results as far as effects on the system when you put the load on the different motors.
By the way, the DC to DC converter (or boost module) jettis mentions here is (I'm pretty sure) significantly MORE EFFICIENT than the one Matt and I listed when we introduced this idea. It is also six times more expensive. Worth it if you BELIEVE and want to see how far this will take you. Or you can spend $3.00 per boost module to prove to yourself that this is for real.
We have also looked at boost modules that aren't that much more than the one jettis mentioned here, but which are more efficient yet.
