Thanks. My circuit is mostly done now. I only need to add 3 coils
and assemble the metal box. If the 3 channel fast switch does not
work as a charger, then I can use it as a battery de-sulfate circuit.
So the build is not wasted anyway. But I hope it works as shown in
the videos.
But how does he get the energy back to the *running* battery?
The only way to do that, that i have seen so far, is by using two transistors/fets for each coil, and i cant see that in the video.

You will no believe me but from the diodes cathodes it goes straight back to the positive of the drive battery through a little filter coil
My circuit is running well and is doing what I designed it to do.
I have only run one test so far with a Ferrite rod core. Did not
charge my lead acid battery at all.
I'm flat out of enameled copper wire right now, so no more testing for
a while. I was in contact with a person that could sell me some
silver coated, Teflon insulated copper wire and a core, but I dropped
the deal because I do not have any means to do a money transfer.
So basically I have a nice metal box with a micro controller inside
just dusting down at my lab right now.
I will be receiving a toroid core and silver coated, Teflon insulated copper wire
for this project in a couple of weeks time. Will be winding the toroid when
I get it. Testing will follow after that. I will report any progress here.
My tests with the new transformer did not charge the battery.
I guess my switch is not fast enough the get the desired result.
When I say fast, I mean the rising and falling edges of the pulse.
I have tested at least 100 different SW timings and pulse durations.
The closest I got was a near unity result when the battery did not
charge but did not discharge either. (Or it discharged so slowly that
I could not see it on my meters.)
My attempt to get this work was a failure, but that does not mean it
could work for others.
