In this video I share my results and thoughts about the arrangement of capacitors named the "Captret".

The captret has the (-) from the battery go to the can of the electrolytic capacitor, and the + goes back to the battery. Multiple can be chained. A potential is shown on both - and + leads of the capacitor. By attaching a lead to the can of the cap, you basically make another connection, using a plate that was previously not used.

Caution. Putting full powered 12v batteries into the can of the capacitor attached like this will cause the capacitor to explode. Only use dead batteries.
I repeat- only use dead batteries.

Dead batteries can offer potential with not much current, and that is what seems to seep across the O terminal (the can) of the capacitor.

Also it is theorized that some battery like effect is happening in a electrolytic capacitor that is allowing the cap to charge a battery.

The basic premise of this video is that people are seeing what they want to see in the captret. The overunity hunters are finding it. The cynics are finding a way to make fun. This circuit seems to be what you think it should be.

Its like the double-slit experiment, where the researchers with a mindset that it should be waves, find it to be waves, while the researchers with a mindset that it should be photons, show it is photons. So this captret might be dangerous in more then just the physical exploding capacitor style... it might cause an all out war between people of different mindsets.

At the end of the experiment, I have a few batteries that HAVE charged, and a few that HAVE NOT. The voltage is higher, but just a little.

  • very good point... "it is what you expect it to be..." I'm seeing that more and more, with many things in the ZPE experimentation world. It's funny you know... the other day, I took an LED, and directly hooked it up to 2 dead AAA's. The amp draw was in the microampere range, and there was a very dim light coming off the LEDs, at the time. Oddly, it put things into perspective for me.

  • @KyleCarrington You create your own world and find what you want to. However - the captret needs alot more experimentation and research before it can produce. LEDs are funny anyway, they are basically crystals. Also dead batteries arent dead, they are just corroded. I could use 100 dead AAs and power a car, but only for a few seconds. (claim not backed up with proof) Hahah, anyway. Good luck on your experiments.

  • At 8:44. The one that had an apparent self charge effect had a small super capacitor where you now have an electrolytic capacitor as power source. I also did a video showing an arrangement just like this but that video was to show it lighting an LED like a super capacitor for an extended period of time.

  • @lasersaber Thanks for the reply! Ya I think this is capacitor sensitive, but I was referring to the video you made showing that small super cap increase in voltage (could have been rebound...?) and I thought I hooked this up like yours but the caps were different.

    I am sure this is an interesting way to operate a LED, but the self charge effect was what I was after and it seems capacitor specific and elusive.

  • Hey...

    I have posted a Video about the Captret and what´s going on there!

    Cheers...
