RADIANT PULSE CHARGER POWERED BY SOLAR CELLS

CAVEAT: Modification of wiring in the Renaissance Charger will VOID its warranty. Do this at your own risk. This is a video showing the setup of a Renaissance Bedini Radiant Charger which is set up to run on direct solar power. I built a solar panel according to Instructables using 36 fragile Evergreen 3.5 amp silicone solar cells. The panel puts out 19 VDC no load, and 13.5 VDC at 3.5 amperes under load in full sunlight. In parallel with an old Harbor Freight solar setup, the solar cells can produce just over 4 amperes under load at 12+ volts. At no load the cells put out up to 20 volts DC. In the setup, I take the input through an ammeter to a highly efficient voltage doubler with a very smooth output. That output runs the Bedini Radiant pulse charger. The charger normally runs on a wall 120VAC-24VDC adapter that can put out 2.5 amperes. In full sunlight, the solar cells, through the doubler, put out 24+VDC at 2 amperes. This is plenty to run the charger and to charge even my deep cycle 850CCA batteries, which I use to run a 1000W inverter at night to operate computers, printers, radios, and even some light power tools and fans. This Bedini charger is a cap dumper. Batteries do get warm. Small ones get hot. The caps transduce radiant energy into positive energy which is hot. Next step will be ro use solar cells to run a truly radiant energizer for cold charging.

Have you honestly done a comparison to see if your batteries do in fact charge as quick as a normal charge controller? I can understand pulsing for conditioning purposes occasionally, but my $ would bet you take more sun to charge your bats that way. you have 3.5 amps @ 13.5v. You've lost over an amp. The fact that your bats still get warm means your still current charging, as you've stating, and your trading, what, 1.5a of current for the pulse? Are u happy with that?

Would you be so kind as to show all of us

the inside of the Renaissance charger?

It is way way to much money to buy one

without knowing what one gets for the money.

Don't forget good lighting please. :)

Thank you in advance !

Hey, would you mind to share the circuit?

Thanks!!

Hi Carl,

Is you doubler homemade or a over the counter doubler?
