SSG Aluminum Air Core Experiment PT. 3
First run on the aluminum SSG Aluminum Air Core Experiment in SSG mode. Seems to work just fine! Sniffer coil works great too. After this run, I was able to (at least show on the meters) 500 mA @ 12.9 (6.45 watts) going into the battery with 650 mA drawn at 12.7 (8.25 watts) , 78% - which is not bad, how accurate that is, who knows... if it accurate I'd say it's personally on par or better than most transformer based charger, with the benefit of desulphation... although I think you might do much better at 14 or 15V. It is my belief a certain amount of the H-wave resultant energy is under voltage, when the input is only 12V. Bottom line is, it is a fun circuit to play with and a good way to practice build-skills, and put some extra life into batteries!
