Radiant Battery Charger

#1 ·

I have a few dead 12 volt automotive batteries, and I would like to see about building a radiant battery charger to charge them, if that is possible. To that end, I am requesting that you please post any information that you have on radiant battery chargers to this thread.

My thanks.

Correct me if I am wrong, but...

I've looked over the circuit, read the pamphlet, and as long as you follow the instructions, AND USE THE SECOND CAPACITOR, not just run the circuit with a single one...

it appears that what you will have at the batteries, is whatever you designed the circuit to have... and nothing more.

It would appear, the danger level is, whatever you set it to be.

I think that was George's whole point. It's not like he's a dummy. Furthermore, his commercial electrolysers exploit this method so they damn well better be safe and have probably had to go through CSA?

Thanks. Just an observation, not a "known"
Thanks for the link.
Capacitive Transformer

That is not a capacitive transformer. It is a reactive voltage divider. The impedance of different capacitors will differ based on their capacitance, and so will offer differing "resistance" to the AC current, meaning you essentially have two resistors one after another, creating...A voltage divider.

This is a true capacitive transformer, and a very good idea.

I was reporting on the booklet. George Wiseman, the author, calls it a capacitive transformer.

That is a very dangerous circuit and should not be posted on an open forum like this. People with little knowledge on electronics can kill themselfs with that circuit. The moment you remove the leads from the battery a voltage of about 150V will appear on that leads.
I wish some people would stop trying to censor me. Open means free. It wouldn't be much of an open forum if I censored this information, now, would it?

But to placate the critics and safety trolls, I'll put up a disclaimer.
