WHEN will INDUSTRY USE THIS PATENT?

06/05/2008 4:41 PM

The patent located at www.triplebatterylife.com has DOUBLED the power out (over time) which has allowed a 1985 EZ GOLF CART to go a measured 45 miles! Why doesn't industry notice or want to use it ? Is it so hard to believe that when a battery is discharged that 2/3 of the voltage is left inside at the point where the device stops working? Is it so hard to believe this is lost energy that is thrown in the trash (disposable batteries)? I DARE ANYONE IN INDUSTRY TO COME AND LOOK IT OVER !

This when applied to electric cars "could" solve our gas crisis ! Electrics reduce gas consumption which reduces gas prices.

NOTE: Remember the power out is DOUBLE not triple. THe Triple came about because of the increased time of operation for some devices like flashlight (some of ours run over 800 hours on low setting. Toy trains run twice as fast for same distance ! In christs name, amen!

Maybe when it's published in the public domain?

Yes good point! But really it is published. The reason for not putting the patent number here is that there are massive numbers of people who would use it without paying anything. SO if anyone (american) can come to orlando area to see it , then they can meet the inventor and ride the golf cart with patent and see for themselves that it really does go FAST UPHILL ! and it really does go 45 miles . And if you want you can bring your own batteries if you doubt what you see. You can also see small power demos as well. IF you sign an agreement to buy or sell it you can get a complete explanation of everything about it. But to simply broadcast to world as a data dump is really not going to produce any agreement or profits for us is it ?

P.s . They say chinese and other steal everything they see and never pay anything.

The reason for not putting the patent number here is that there are massive numbers of people who would use it without paying anything.

This is nonsensical. Either you patent something or you do not. If you patent something and it is of interest, then people around the world will find it, regardless of whether it is mentioned here or not. The intent with a patent is to get the invention seen and protected.

Batteries typically return 90% of the energy put into them. A battery that claims to return 270% of the energy put into it is of no interest whatsoever to most engineers -- we tend not to believe in magic and over-unity devices.

Perhaps if you would describe what your invention is intended to do in concrete, verifiable terms you could sell the idea to a manufacturer: "My device will enable you to draw 50 AH from a 20 AH battery," for instance. Then offer to take the easily portable 20 AH battery and your device with you and demonstrate your claim to engineers. Most engineers will want to design and run their own tests. Miles achieved in a golf cart is a meaningless test for engineers. You'd have to supply the golf cart and your device for before and after tests at their site, run by their engineers.

Tripling the battery life in my hybrid would be thrilling, and worth at least $2,000 per vehicle. However, there is nothing in your patent that suggests (to me at least) that such tripling would occur: the patent seems to be nothing but a battery selector switch. Perhaps you could convince some other engineer that it would be worth a look, but you'd almost certainly have to bring or ship the device to them, (at some point you have to trust that they will not steal it -- I don't think you can expect to establish a relationship without trust.) If you can say to a battery manufacturer "I have a patented device which will make your 20 AH battery perform like a 50 AH battery, and I will send it to you for evaluation under an NDA" then some manufacturers might say "Sure send it along, and we will test it."

Obviously you can't read .. it say DOUBLE THE RANGE NOT TRIPLE. Please read all material before you put your foot in your mouth. ALso if you knew so much you would be here signing up for a license since you would know it indeed does work.

Again the DARE is there .. if you are willing to put your knowledge to the test . (Read first, talk second).

So are you saying your screen name is really DOUBLEBATTERYLIFE?

As far as being there signing up... I am happy to wait in line behind GM, Toyota, Honda, Panasonic, Hitachi, Johnson Controls, and all the rest clamoring for you "invention".

This answer doesn't deserve a response . BUT IF anyone has an Electric Vehicle (write us if you know of one), we need one to install the patent into since it works so well in the golf cart. (see above). We are thinking of a new hybrid but of course it would cloud the issue on the one hand by forcing the viewers to decide if the gas was used. SO perhaps a straight electric car is best? But then again what does the public have to compare it to, since electrics were squashed by big oil and others ("who killed the electric car:" See the video_) 1998 ELECTRIC CAR EV1 lives again! The EV1 rides out of EV heaven to vex GM. and (www.PeaceNikInternational.com )

At least with something like the Prius its well defined in the publics eye to not go very far on electric power alone (is it 3-5 miles?). There is an add on kit (basically just more batteries and a recharging unit) that is reported to go up to 30 miles. So if the patent in a prius with the add on kit goes 60 miles (or anywhere close) the public would believe that. Of course if a straight electric went 60 miles especially a prototype homemade low budget type , that "should" get peoples attention too, since most driving days for most people are less than 50 miles , it would mean no more buying gas at all for normal commutes. LONDON ENGLAND has electrics en masse and even offers free parking to electrics which is $42 a day = $840 month.. that is a CAR PAYMENT + ! So in that city you could actually pay for your car with the savings (assuming you were already commuting and paying that rate).

This answer doesn't deserve a response .

Then why respond? I don't think I asked any questions (other than the obviously rhetorical one: your screen name really is TRIPLEBATTERYLIFE.) Don't feel that you have to respond to every post just to be polite.

This scam product has been covered by "Blink" and myself previously.

see http://cr4.globalspec.com/thread/14527

I don't want to have to get into it again, especially after how rude TRIPLEBATTERYLIFE was to people asking simple questions, and his somewhat loose grip on patent law and reality in general.

I stand by my comments. People should first read the above thread before making any comments regarding my post here.

TRIPLEBATTERYLIFE, My suggestion to you is to ignore those who tell you to disbelieve your instincts and patent your invention and sell it on the open market and let the public decide.

If your invention has merit, industry will likely use it after the patent has expired.

Face it! The US patent system is broke. Filling a patent just puts the idea out to the world. No one is interested in giving you any money for your effort. If they can not steal it then they will just wait until your patent runs out before using it.

You should have filled a provisional patent then either make the product and sell it yourself or go to a large company and sell them the rights to patent it. If you have a good product design they will work with you. If not you will save a lot of money by finding out it is not worth patenting in the first place. If they want to get involved with your invention then they will patent it and be able to afford protecting it from being replicated illegally.

By making it yourself and marketing it you will prove that the product works before showing it to industry. There are also some good marketers that will help you such as Lambert & Lambert who will evaluate it and give you a market analysis before you spend a lot of money on patenting. Usually you can manufacture and market it on a small scale for less money than patenting.

Keep working on anything to save the use of oil. The world needs it and engineers are short on coming up with any solutions just better at criticism for anyone that is trying.

Re: WHEN will INDUSTRY USE THIS PATENT?

06/06/2008 11:44 AM

Thanks for your comments (Except the bogus engineer who says its a scam). We know it works and in fact use it all the time in flashlights and also in the golf cart. IT WORKS! The average to good engineer can not understand it and tries to discredit it in order to get more free details. The concept is radical , is new, but does indeed work. WE dare all to come see it if they don't believe it. But you must visit to orlando area since there are some details not available in the PATENT. YES ITS ALREADY PATENTED! Our question is after years of higher and higher gas prices and this is a natural for electric cars WHY ISN"T TOYOTA HONDA FORD GM Beating down our doors? Is it because big oil owns controlling interests? IS that why Texaco bought the super battery patent of choice for electrics and hybrids (NIMH) and then raised the price from $50 to over $1000 ?

Again thanks for advisements from all objective viewers. WE offfer 15% to anyone who can connect us with a valid qualified buyer or licensee. Gosh if we had the ability to manufacture this we would be doing it believe me. We can leave flashlights on for week at a time and run 10 hours a nite for 80 nites!! Toy trains go twice as fast and for same distance as factory models (WITHOUT CHANGING BATTERIES). 1985 EzGo Golf cart goes 45 measured miles versus 18 miles max before and that is with 25% less volume of batteries. 3 wins in 3 different areas tells us its a WINNER !

Help us help you by helpng us connect with real industry powerhouses who can really put this to use in cellphones, digital cameras, electric cars, golf carts, flashlights, etc. THANKS !

Our question is after years of higher and higher gas prices and this is a natural for electric cars WHY ISN"T TOYOTA HONDA FORD GM Beating down our doors?

Perhaps because they are busy supporting and negotiation with with legitimate battery companies. More than one battery company I've contacted with an RFQ on 10,000 units (actually 40,000 batteries) per year have told me that my order is too small to consider right now, because they are focused on the big manufacturers. Thus, the big manufacturers are planning for very large numbers of batteries for vehicles like the Chevy Volt, and numerous other planned plug-in hybrids. (The current [non plug-in] Prius alone sells over 200,000 units per year.) If they believed your idea would triple battery life they would come knocking. As I said, for my vehicle, triple battery life would be worth at least $2000 per vehicle. For a Chevy Volt, triple life would be worth at least $4000 per vehicle. In both cases, triple battery life would allow these vehicles to have a plug in range of 120 miles, good for 98% of all commutes, rather than 40 miles, good for about half of all commutes. For both these vehicles, triple battery life (270% energy out vs energy in) would enable the vehicle to be used virtually all the time as a full electric, and trips to the gas pump would almost never occur.

If anyone seriously wants to invest big money in my vehicle project, you can bet that I would happily ship the entire vehicle wherever at my own expense. Asking GM to come to you would have to strike them as the absolute height of arrogance, especially when your device can be demonstrated so easily on a small, portable scale, and UPS'ed to them for a few dollars. Taking a couple engineers away from their work to fly them to Orlando quickly chews up thousands of dollars. Why on earth would they do that if you can ship them a unit for a few dollars? If you can't trust them, all the NDAs and patents in the world won't help: you are going to litigate against GM??? Get real.

You say:

But you must visit to orlando area since there are some details not available in the PATENT. YES ITS ALREADY PATENTED!

Then you do not have a valid patent. You have a patent number, and some paper, but the patent is invalid because you must fully and sufficiently disclose the idea so that one "skilled in the art" can reproduce it. If you fail to do that, the patent cannot stand up in court, and has no marketable value. So unless you are lying to us here, your patent is useless, by your own admission.

BTW, many of the big VC firms do not use NDAs. That works for them, while using NDAs does not work as well, evidently because they are more likely to end up in litigation. So do you ignore these firms, or, like successful entrepreneurs, establish some trust with them? 99% of the VC firms don't steal ideas. They are too busy bringing real ideas to market.

If you honestly think you have something, then I'd suggest going to one of the Kaufman Foundation entrepreneurial development courses, They typically run about 10 weeks and are worth large multiples of the roughly $1000 cost. There, you may find (among a great many other things) that calling real engineers, like Jack, "bogus" does not serve the cause of getting people to believe in your project.

Real engineers do not believe in "over unity" scams. Real engineers know that you can get 90% of what you put into a battery back out: we can do tests to prove that. Real engineers will not believe you can triple that figure to 270%... nor will physicists, chemists, or virtually any scientist with a general education.

Again please read the information IT SAYS DOUBLE THE RANGE NOT TRIPLE> Once again some are jumping at the wrong place.

Double is accurate. The triple name came about because early on we were getting triple running TIMES (TIME IS NOT WORK), in devices like flashlights. When compared to existing flashlights we found that the printed page could be read way beyond the 16 hours that a four cell off the shelf light would give.

Saying I am lying because I say there are details that are not in the patent is again inaccurate. No patent has every detail in it since more is learned as patent and project evolve. We have learned how to make it better of course but the original patent does suffice for one SKILLED (keyword SKILLED) in the art (and define what art too while you are at it , since this is new departure from standard methods I may be the only skilled in the "art" since I am the inventor).

IF anyone wants to come check it ou what would you say after the 44th mile is surpasssed (we have done this and in the rain)? Compare this to only 18 with conventional system, and this 45 miles is with smaller batteries too! Ok.. no more details. You can't get free tutoring on new invnention without some "consideration" from your side. What will you say when toy trains go twice as fast for a little bit more than same distance?

NO, the earth is not FLAT no matter what you say!

NOTE : THIS is not over unity. not perpetual..etc HINT : Take your cell phone battery out of your cell phone when its "dead" and then check the voltage!!! WOW!! amazing voltage left .. this is not any over unity or other. Just simple straightforwards engineering ! End of problem. If you haven't at least done this please quit putting your foot in your mouth.

It is :

1. A circuit that gleans out the remaining energy in batteries.

2. A way to get DOUBLE (NOT TRIPLE) the miles out of golf carts (and by projection electric cars ; this is the next step we will try, watch tv news in 6 months from now).

3. It also gets double (and more depending on device) TIME of operation out of flashlights and other devices like towy trains.

4. Its a circuit that has to be installed in your device. Once installed the user inserts normal batteries as usual.

IT IS NOT A BATTERY! ! But rather a battery management circuit!

PS Some average engineers have tried to tell us it didn't work until they saw it work, then they start telling us why it works. (don't be one of the those types please).

Take your cell phone battery out of your cell phone when its "dead" and then check the voltage!!! WOW!! amazing voltage left .. this is not any over unity or other.

The voltage of a dead lead acid battery must seem even more amazing to you. 10.7 volts is a reasonable voltage for a dead battery. You seem to be suggesting that such a voltage would indicate that there is useful "charge" left in the battery, and that draining the battery below that level would liberate that unused charge, rather than, as battery manufacturers will tell you, damage the battery. ROFL.

... then they start telling us why it works. (don't be one of the those types please).

Have no fear -- I won't be one of those types.

Thanks, so you believe everything experts tell you : That there is no use for the remaing charge left in a battery? I hate to burst your bubble but that is only true for specific instances and situations.

So then in 1900 you would believe man would never fly. I really don't have time to tutor you excpept to say all is not as the "experts" want you to believe ( in other words someday when you get your foot out of your mouth please read all the information and try to think inventively instead of narrowmindedly) .

Remember, the earth is flat, man will never fly!

Your ignorance of the history of flight is stunning. Lillenthal had 2500 flights in before the Wright brothers flew. The Wright brothers would be the first to admit that they did not invent the airplane. Other over-unity promoters share your ignorance and disdain for science, and many use the Wright brothers as examples of people who ignored science to create a fantastic invention. There were thousands at work on the principles of flight before the Wright brothers, and even textbooks on aerodynamics (which the Wright brothers used, being no idiots) This post and it's follow ups (posts 19 and 20) will help acquaint you with of the development of airplanes.

Science and battery engineering principles will tell you why it is better to treat 10.7 volts as the "dead: voltage for LA battery. Draining a LA battery to below that voltage has been shown thousands of times to be counter productive, and is considered abusive for warranty purposes. But in real usage (such as in a golf cart or electric car) even the 10.7 volt point is too low for optimum energy efficiency and battery life.

Daunting as the prospect might be, you would do well to open a physics text, a chemistry text, and ten or 20 texts on battery chemistry and function.

Yes, I rely on experts, provided what they say makes sense. The engineers I've talked with at major battery companies say stuff that makes sense, that corresponds perfectly with tests I have done, and that does not require throwing away of basic physics, unlike your contention of over-unity battery operation.

Drawing a battery down below the "dead" point for the chemistry dramatically reduces overall efficiency. In LA batteries, voltages lower than the "dead" voltage promotes sulfation and damages the battery. The engineers who say this know their stuff.

If nothing else, I hope I have introduced you to a little of the actual history of flight, rather than the gibberish circulated by the anti-science crowd. I give up on any hope of acquainting you with battery chemistry or the physics that very, very strongly suggest that getting more energy out of a device than you put in is impossible. Over-unity promoters live in a world where a different language is spoken, and frankly, I cannot understand it, nor do I have any interest in learning it. If I wanted to live in a fantasy world, it would be easier and more fun to take up Dungeons and Dragons.

Cheers, and I trust that although your scheme seems like just another over-unity fraud, you might be well-intentioned. However. the fact that you are promoting it here where many are unacquainted with battery chemistry, rather than to battery manufacturers, who can easily evaluate a scam, suggests my trust might be unfounded.

Well I am very unimpressed: So many "average" armchair quarterbacks who really don't know much about batteries obviously except what manufacturers want you to know. All we can say is we dare you to come on down and see for yourselves, (those of you who are not calling names as children would when they can't understand something).

One person came close to being on the right track. Data we have is this: a 1985 EZGO golf cart goes 45 miles over relative flat terrain on one charge of lead acid batteries, now if you tell me how far can you go on one charge in that golf cart? (about 18 is the max we ever got with it ). SPEED was approximately 12 mph with odometer (not faulty as we doubled check course distance with automobile odometer first, they were similar readings). LOAD was one person plus normal golf cart weight!

Speaking of wright bros. they said they were scammers too (until of course kittyhawk).

Toy trains go twice as fast for just over same distance as factory models.

Flashlights go much longer even up to 800 hours on (80 nites for 10 hours a nite) on low setting. And always beat the factory models by at least double.

HINT: TIME is not work! DOUBLE MILES , not TRIPLE. TRIPLE and more Running times are everyday depending on how you run the device. (IE Flashlights, toy trains)

Instead of discrediting everything you don't understand why not be an "engineer" and help us find a viable EV to put the patent circuit into? (orlando area)

In christ name , all the above is true ! amen!

You must have misread my post: I am not an armchair quarterback re batteries. My hands on, lead-lifting experience with electric vehicles goes back to 1965. As I said, I value the insights of battery engineers, when their data corresponds with my own test experience.

I see nothing in your patent that any battery engineer or vehicle engineer would find of interest -- but as I say, there is no point in trying to sell your idea here -- take it the the battery manufacturers (who can and do fully integrate battery systems, including battery management devices) or to vehicle manufacturers.

The place you are least likely to find support of over-unity schemes is on a science and engineering site -- I'd think that would be self-evident.

Conspiracy theories (that "what the the manufacturers want me to know" about their batteries is something other than reality) also don't play well here. All the battery engineers I've dealt with want me to get the very best performance out of their batteries, because they are acutely aware that there are loads of other manufacturers around who are willing to do so.

If you've got something to sell, sell it, don't waste your time here.

As pointed out previously, anything you do not disclose in the patent is not protected. If you really do have something here, someone with far more knowledge in this field than you and with far more resources will read what is mentioned in the patent and eventually guess the rest.

Key to the patent system is the "patent bargain"-- the grant of the right of exclusivity in exchange for the disclosure of the idea. You cannot have your cake and eat it too! I have seen cases where companies try to leave out one tiny step or ingredient to prevent others copying the idea but their competition eventually figures it out and the patents are worthless.

I looked at your website and saw no patent. I searched patents and published applications and found nothing. I conclude this is a scam and I am not a "bogus engineer" but a hybrids systems purchasing manager for one of the world's biggest vehicle manufacturers.

Thanks but saying anyone on earth has far more knowledge about my own paten is really offensive. If any did indeed have more knowledge and more resources they would have gotten the patent themselves wouldn't they! We are willing to negotiate with anyone who is not just looking for free information to take back to their lab and pretend they thought of it to their manager (which happens all the time).

Anyone serious would be willing to put money on the table in exchange for rights to use it . Hey IT WORKS ! If you think I would put my reputation in jeapardy for a false idea you are wrong.

For example: The cars that supposedly run on water in my opinion are a hoax as they advertise onboard generation of HHO gas enough to power a car , but that doesn't make sense because the energy to break the water molecule is is more than the energy you can get from burning the HHO gas.

Thanks but saying anyone on earth has far more knowledge about my own paten is really offensive.

If you take offense at that, perhaps you are not ready for the entrepreneurial life. I can easily find many people more knowledgeable about almost every aspect of my own pending patents than I am.

If any did indeed have more knowledge and more resources they would have gotten the patent themselves wouldn't they!

Of course not. Why spend money on a patent for something you know cannot work? Engineers know that the energy output of a battery cannot be double or triple the energy input. Doing so would violate simple and obvious laws of physics.

Again you are in error. Your assumption that we get more out than was put in is in error. The fact is everytime your cell phone goes 'dead' it doesn't mean the batteries are at zero volts. (they aren't). A good engineer would know this. Its obvious you know only the obvious concepts about engineering. So please quit discrediting others inventions and methods unless you actually do some reading and checking.

We get and use the remaining energy out of batteries that is not accessable from normal circuits, end of story. IF you want to use it or check it out sign an agreeement with us. otherswise please quit with your "earth is flat" attitude. You will not be answered again until you have done some reading on your own and some testing on your own. (HINT": check voltage on your cell phone battery after its dead" ) Also if you can "easily" find people more expert on your patents than you the inventor that tells me you are just stabbing in the dark in someone else's area. ( Don't tell me , you work for oil industry? )

" I looked at your website and saw no patent. I searched patents and published applications and found nothing. I conclude this is a scam and I am not a "bogus engineer" but a hybrids systems purchasing manager for one of the world's biggest vehicle manufacturers."
This tell me you ARE a bogus engineer, since it is indeed on the uspto site. If you can't find please tell yourself (after someday you do find it, that you are operating as an 'average' engineer who is a master of the obvious but little more). New technology is not going to send to your door on a silver platter. UNLESS money is first put forth (IE an agrreement with a big co whom we would be more than happy to share the infomation including patent number and other refinements).

If you are who you say you are why don't you have your contact information listed? (bogus?)

Hi TripleBatteryLife

It's all been said by others, so why am I replying? Maybe I'm bored. What a lot of drivel.

Anyone with a brain knows that when it comes to batteries or anything else, the best you can get out energy wise is a bit less than you put in. Your claim that you can extract the remaining small amount of energy from a discharged battery and run your golf buggy the same distance again on this is just a joke.

You are either derranged or a crook or both. I hope no one is dumb enough to give you any of their hard earned money.

Kind Regards

John

Hmmm- maybe 3bl has tapped into zero point energy- then again maybe he has an inaccurate odometer- then again if he thinks anything will happen Big wise on this site, he is deluded, rather than approaching Makers directly. Certainly, by reducing current draw batts will last longer in their charge-But the amount of energy delivered also falls- I don't think he said about same speed/load?. As most would know, all rechargeable cells/batts have internal resistance which rises as cell/batt ages- this self discharges the cell/batt- so if a test was carried out at 1 go rather than over say 2 weeks, the cell/batt would have seemed to perform better than before. Then again, he may just be a BSA having us all on- like tmf.

"I looked at your website and saw no patent. I searched patents and published applications and found nothing."

Try http://patimg1.uspto.gov/.piw?Docid=6570340&idkey=NONE, or go to www.uspto.gov, then Patents, and then "Search" on 6570340. You may need to have a TIFF viewer installed (available from the uspto site) to see the images, but likely the text will be available at least.

It seems to me, after wading through [but then, MOST patents read that way: yes, including all of my own!], that if the central "trick" of waiting for auto-regeneration, then using the differential between that slightly higher voltage and the cutoff, or minimum voltage needed to power the device, can be done with only a single primary cell, the entire thing folds. I would suggest that putting a supercapacitor temporarily in parallel with the cell using much the same mix-&-match circuitry, permitting the original cell to deplete, running for a while on the supercap, and returning to the original cell would accomplish this. This would NOT be as good as his putting several cells in series to make use of ever-lower regeneration voltages, but it shows a way to avoid using multiple electrochemical cells.

Adding a DC-DC converter to step the much-too-high initial voltage of a cell down to what is suitable for a very low voltage device could permit using these successive voltage rises to about the same level as what his method can accomplish, again using something such as a capacitor to carry the load while auto-regeneration takes place. At some point, the extra cells, holders/contacts, and switches needed for Mr. Davis's method will cost more than the special circuit, weigh more, be less space-efficient, and be less reliable. I do not intend to learn where that point presently lies - not worth the effort. IC circuits get cheaper every day, but batteries and switches don't. The modified DC-DC converter could even switch to a voltage-increasing mode to maximise use of the "dregs" of remaining power, and certainly all steps along the way could be accomplished automatically.

YOU SIR have found the right path.. only missing a few needed points to make it work! Now come one come all and find a buyer for this amazingly simply fantastically effective circuit (it took me time to boil it down to least complexity for lowest power draw from control section). Who ever directly arranges for the sale or licensure or manfacturing deal will be rewarded with 15%. ( Not you Mr Fry! )

We also still need a viable EV to demo it in. Help us and we will help you in return on profits.

Hi 3bl,

Please share the data about how long the batteries last (after multiple recharges) in normal use, versus how long they last using your invention. I can almost guarantee that you will get cell reversal in short order that will kill the batteries fast (assuming that you are doing what you say). To not share that data would be to admit your idea is a scam. I DARE YOU TO SEND THAT DATA.

Re: WHEN will INDUSTRY USE THIS PATENT?

Cell reversal does occur, but the patent works around that quite nicely. The batteries in the golf cart are PbA (lead acid) and while not ideal types, actually perform still quite well after approx 1 year in the golf cart. (maybe longer, I forget). They are smaller than the normal T-105 (by 25% smaller) and still go much longer than we ever got in the past. Thats the data, (no one is saying that battery life might not be degraded, but also look at the lead acid technology is the worst on the market and still the patent gets all that extra use and speed when needed (fast uphills).

Killing batteries is arguable since there are some who claim "Revive" them (we tried reviving a T-105 with no luck at all using their techniques). These battery "Revivers include some who say they use lots of voltage and high amps to break down hardened sulfate between the plates to make the battery take a charge again. We can't say they are wrong but on the other hand our one experiment with that didn't work either (for us).

Also we have another technique to minimize sulfation. The best technique is probably immediate recharging at end of use each and every time. IF you leave them sit the sulfate hardens and eventually degrades battery. So charging immediately even if you only used it for 10 minutes really helps battery life.

45 miles we got versus 18 max normal 1985 EzGO rig with one person on board.

The reason we did the golf cart is because average business people don't seem to be able to relate to flashlights running so long (they as you don't believe it ), also there is nothing like actual over the road real miles to compare to very well known golf cart performance.

We still need and EV to put this into so if anyone knows where one is (cheap) please let us know, Thanks!

P.S> Don't call names please. You never know who you might wished you hadn't ridiculed and also its not good engineering since you really don't understand what we are doing and we are not going to tell all until some big co. proves to us they are interested. If you wish to help , we need an EV to demo it in ( we are not high budget or we wouldn't be asking ). OR bring your 1985 stock EzGO to here and lets race! THE DARE IS GIVEN! -- WILL YOU ACCEPT !

PROMISE: Anyone who directly arranges a deal for licensure or sale will get 15% !

You answered honestly, and honestly you don't have any data!

"P.S> Don't call names please. You never know who you might wished you hadn't ridiculed and also its not good engineering since you really don't understand what we are doing and we are not going to tell all until some big co. proves to us they are interested."

I didn't call you any names, and I do understand what you are doing after reading the patent shown by Jack. You are switching between 4 batteries. That would make a flashlight much heavier. Who would want one? On my last camping trip 1 set of batteries lasted for the whole 2 weeks, so I have no need for your invention.

P.S. I am un-subscribing from this thread, so I will not see your next negative comment.

<sigh>

For anyone interested in the actual patent for this device (which is available in the free public domain), it can be found here.

U.S Patent no. 6,570,340 ("The Stirring of Electrochemical Cells for Extended Life")

If any of you are actually interested have a read. It should quickly become clear to you how this is supposed to work work and WHY you wouldn't bother either buying into it or stealing it.

Oh, and I do not endorse stealing the ideas set out in the patent.

Hopefully that should keep everyone happy.

Am I missing something, or is the extra distance only due to say 4 batts used as against say 1- if so 4 gas tanks on your car would also increase distance?. Except no self regeneration?- what about fuel vapour?. Certainly, most car drivers know that, with a "flat" car battery, another jumper or booster battery will start the motor- but 2 or more "flat" batteries?. Slightly better only. So surely this is a matter of load against supply against time against demand against duty cycle against life of components?. Certainly, anyone who has played with cells/batts knows that reduced current draw & reduced duty cycle will prolong life as long as switching is done manually!- any switching circuit uses power. As to using incandescents- wake up!. White leds are fantastic!.
