just throwing it out there again...... recirculating power source (itll power itself)
lets say i got a power car battery (12V) and a starter motor..... would it work if i welded the shaft 'open' or 'engaged' and changed the gear for a toothed pulley, then connected that to a 48V alternator, connected that to a battery pack (charging at around 50V), then done the same over and over that i did with the 12V battery until i got to 240V then plugged it into a battery charger to charge the 12V battery..... would that work or not.... if you want to say no, then show me an example of the calculation starting with the 12v battery.... thing is i know this WILL take time to do your reasearch correctly..... i didnt ask if the 12v battery would die by the time the 240V charger kicked in, im asking would a system like this run at least?
