I don't know if you got an answer about this or not. My guess is the pulse is too long and this will saturate the inductor causing excessive current flow. When...
I have found that one can replace the fuse that comes with the kit with a thermal fuse (I use a 500mA PTC) and although it has about 1 ohm resistance, it seems...
Looking at the Couper design, there may be room for improvement. It is based on the usual boost circuit, but ... the larger inductor is just a soft start for...
Up to this point I had no idea how pulsing a battery worked its magic, but now I wonder... Litz wire is there to counter the skin effect of high frequencies......
It is interesting to note that connecting a resistive load momentarily across a battery causes the same sort of over-voltage and ringing as the Couper circuit....
At first I thought of the capacitive approach as an alternative to inductive, till I recalled that charging a capacitor from empty from a constant voltage...
Rather than use an inductor, capacitor or resistor to 'ring' the battery, why not just connect a 24V source via a MOSFET. This should have several advantages: ...
The inductance of the Pulsing Inductor is not critical. Excellent results can be had with inductors ranging from 50 microHenries up to 800 microHenries or...
Looks like a lot of ppl are talking about the frequency of the pulse. but the ringing of the frequency is also important to break the molecule of the sulphate...
Losses across wires (no matter how thick) are enormous for the pulser due to the high-frequency skin effect. Anyone tried Litz wire for the cables? or even the...
Andy, I haven't done so myself but I know people who have tried it swear by it such as Don Plisco. I think the biggest practivcal problem is ensuring you get...
Then the obvious question, where can I get some without having to purchase a large reel? and what size is best? As I understand it, some types are easy to...
The frequency of the 'ringing' is determined by the whole of the wiring to the battery and the battery itself; the distributed inductances and capacitances...
Quote: "The more powerful the pulses the more quickly the desulfation will take place; within reason of course." Powerful means high current pulse? If so, why...
I managed to find some 660 strand 46AWG (850kHz - 1.4MHz), not quite as good as 48AWG (1.4MHz - 2.8Mhz), but I expect a much better performance than normal...
... Where does this figure of 3.26 MHz come from? and this would not explain how the Couper circuit works, since there would probably be very little, if any,...
... Unless someone can understand the mechanism by which desulfation occurs, and then, using this understanding, accelerate the process. I think the problem is...
... I haven't been able to contact Don (email I found bounces), but I have found some Litz wire that is easy to solder, and look forward to trying it out. 660...
... The usual chemical reactions in a battery don't need any AC, even if the chemicals were in crystalline form; so it is strange (though possible) that AC is...
Andy, It is good to see this forum being used by somebody. It was set-up a while back to offer an alternative to A.N.Other site which was becoming too...
Anyone know if this process works on Sealed lead acid, Gel cells, and LGM batteries?? I have been trying to recover MANY UPS batteries with no success?? Best...
