Imhotep Relay Charger Replication

This is a replication of the Imhotep Relay Charger that he designed. I show it here running off a 2 watt solar panel. The relay was also modified by me so it could be used at the same time as a switching device for an Imhotep Radiant Oscillator Lite.

how did you modify the relay?? and how does the adjustment screw make it possible to use bolth sides, how did you modify the contact??

Mines singin away, but your right annoying. It seem's to effect broadcast tv reception, cordless phone and my cheap multimeter sounds like a giger counter!!!! Been running about 8hours charging a dead drill battery wouldent charge (was 0 volts) now its 10.5!!! Source is dc power adaptor rated for 500 milliamps!!

You have to squeeze the contacts together with a pair of pliers until they are close. Drill a hole in the side of the case that is slightly smaller than the screw and thread the screw into the case. Turn the screw in until it forces the contact very close to the vibrating arm contact It is a very fine adjustment. Use a fine thread machine screw. See my next video to make a quiet runnung one or just throw a towel over yours it to shut it up. LOL.

I have a simple question:

Can i charge with this "relay charger" simple (not rechargeable) battery's (8 AA 1.5V maxell zinc battery pack) ?

Or it works only with rechargeable battery? (sry iam lame :) )

[Lidmotor]

Those batteries are not designed to be recharged.

please tell me what the benefit of this is? sorry if i ask stupid.... i have SSG running but neon bulb doesnt do anything

Xcellent

& thanks 4 your modification

Gonna play with RELAY coils

[ale3462512]

The diode is there to prevent the batteries to "short circuit" when eletrcity is being induced on the coil, when the relay open the induced eletricity discharge on the "Charge battery".

[ale3462512]

the reason why you can generate up to 400V is because the fact that you are using a relay coil that has a lot of spins what increases the voltagebut when you connect it to the "charge battery" it will drop to almost the same as your battery due to the lack of potencial to source eletrons. What amothep did, was just rediscover 1940's oscilator circuits before modern chips take place,

[ale3462512]

This circuit has nothing to do with free energy. You just using the same principle of a alternator transformer that you conect to your normal eletricity. The reason for the relay is to make the eletrcity becames variable, than you can induce eletricity on the magnetic coil, then the relay turns out and the energy storaged on the coil discharge on your charge battery,

sorry. got my numbers mixed up. switch 86 and 85. That is my connect as it stands now.

Hi lidmotor. got my charger working, well sort of. It's buzzing, but the neon stays on. I notice your neon goes out when the charge batt is connected. I have the setup connected using an Euro audio connector. Neon is tied in where the 86 and 30 wires go to the diode. The other end is tied into 85 and where the neg of charge batt and pos run batt join together. I'm using a wall plug as input voltage (12 v). Is this right or have I got the neon in the wrong spot.

I’m recharging a size 16 battery (with .800 volts on it) with this imhotep charger and when I connect it all up the charge battery starts off above 12 volts but slowly drops down, is this normal? I’m sure the battery is sulfated but for the voltage to drop to 10.5 volts from 12 is not what I expected. It’s hard to know if it's woking if the volts keep going down. Has anyone else experience this?

[toxicfrost123]

i need a relay that i can use a 12v on and 3.2v to make it switch

He uses a SPST relay. If you use a SPDT relay like I did, you don't even need to modify it! Also, I used a micro-relay (also from Rat Shack) and it works fine. I plan on encasing it in a small container filled with hot glue in order to dampen the sound. Inevitably, the mechanism will fail. This should be taken into account.
