Hello henieck - you ask some good questions. I'll try to answer them.
The diode is positioned to return the reversed current flow from the collapsing fields in the off period of the duty cycle. It takes the energy back to the battery and recharges it.
The positioning of the battery is badly explained perhaps. Let me try again. Run the test on on 12 volt battery. Change nothing on the circuit design. But then take a second 12 volt battery and link its negative terminal to the test battery's negative terminal. NO LINK BETWEEN THE TWO BATTERIES ON THE POSITIVE RAIL. Then take the diode away from the positive terminal of the test battey and put it onto the positive terminal of the second battery. Then you'll be able to see the second battery recharges - immediately you run the system. That proves that the collapsing fields are returned to the power supply source provided always that the voltage spike exceeds the voltage of the supply source - obviously. If it's too low it may not exceed battery resistance to recharge it.
Then look again at the required power measurements as I detailed in my post to TinselKoala. That's an anagram of Nikola Tesla.
Regarding your concerns re the 'flow of electrons' as current flow. That's your choice. It's just if you do buy into it then you must somehow explain how those electrons flow through the material of the battery itself. This need was answered by classicists by saying the battery itself has free floating protons. This is nonsense - for the reasons I explained. If protons conduct those electrons through the battery then they would be hydrogen atoms. And the net result would be that this would increase the voltage potential of the battery rather than decrease it.
But you do not have to buy into my objections nor my explanation of current flow. The idea of electrons flowing has served science extremely well and has taken quantum electrodynamics to levels that are unequalled in any other branch of physics. It's just that the model of electrons comprising current flow is hopelessly flawed - despite the extraordinary success of this field.
Good luck on those experiments. I'd love to see your analysis of the power delivered/dissipated.
