okay so I built one uh with a sort of knife switch construction and two Banks of capacitors one I Swit in series and one parallel now my One bank here which is now series every single capacitor has 1.7 1.7 and the other the parallel ones 1.35 well I have to do it with that okay so I'm going to connect the lamp Okay connect the lamp and now we have one and a half amp running from the serial part to the parallel part so I have a voltage that's not dropping 1.6 volts and dropping the other side 1.37 and slowly going up very slowly probably yep there we go so the principle it works so now we're going to switch over the parallel parallel sir watch the M meter going to the other way the other direction now of course they're not really charged very much so now this side 1.3 and dropping and this one 1 54 it's going up a little but I do have a lot of losses very slowly we go from uh one amp down so switch over again and we go to the other side again and we have a little more amps because the voltage on the Cal on the left side is a little higher so if I would do this with a short instead of a lamp then probably the losses will be in the heat of the cables I am losing a lot of voltage but I'm not really understanding what lws and why this is not working forever so it's going very slowly still above one amp but I have to compare it with just letting it drain the capacitors how long it takes and how bright the lamp will be it's very complicated to see okay going switch over again and now is the other one just a little above one amp again so you look at it this way it does work but I don't I think it's ideal because voltage over my capacitors is dropping every time so now I in the left side they only have 137 1.38 and on the right side I have 1 Point 19 and dropping and the other one is going up but every time then I Swit I lose I lose some voltage now drop over again now we go to the other side and I can do this for a while but uh just not sure how it where the losses are and why this can or cannot work anyway was fun trying thanks for watching
