Capacitive Charge Recycler PUBLIC

Capacitor C3 is charged and discharged through the transformer in short pulses to couple power to the secondary winding and charge capacitor C4. Both C3 charge and discharge operations apply the same power to the transformer. C3 is 1000 uF and C4 is11600 uF. The charge in coulombs of 0.01046 C is added to C3 (charge operation) and removed from C3 (discharge operation). Starting with 0 V on C4, a charge in coulombs of 0.006844 C (65% of 0.01046 C) is added to C4 during the C3 charge operation. A charge in coulombs of 0.01276 C (122% of 0.01046 C) is on C4 after the C3 discharge operation.

A simple circuit that charges and discharges capacitor C3 through a transformer in short pulses to couple power to the secondary winding. Both charge and discharge operations apply the same power to the transformer. The output power charges capacitor C4. C3 is 1000 uF (0.001 C per V) and C4 is11600 uF (0.0116 C per volt). The charge in coulombs added to C3 (charge operation) and removed from C3 (discharge operation) is 0.01046 C. Starting with 0 V on C4, the charge operation of C3 raises the voltage on C4 to 0.59 V adding 0.006844 C (65% of 0.01046 C). The discharge operation of C3 raises C4 voltage from 0.59 V to 1.1 V, increasing the charge in coulombs to 0.01276 C (122% of 0.01046 C).
