Pump alternatives
Hi Kinetix,
I like your idea.
If I get this right, we would have to tap directly before the voltage regulator, this way this would prevent from overloading it.
My only concern is the windings of the alternator.
Considering a full demand from the car circuits, will there be enough power left?
By the way, if it is viable this is a great idea.
Keep up

Way to go Jetijs,
The simplicity of your pump circuit is astounding, great work.
It would be interesting to replace the two diodes by a bridge rectifier to see if the capacitor would charge faster and to compare the current draws. Thanks for posting your findings.
Also, about the unexplained variac phenomena, when it is connected I would expect the tripler capacitors to start charging backward relative to the schematic. Is this true?
Cheers
