Hi Volty, ![Smile](https://www.energyscienceforum.com/core/images/smilies/smile.png)
Why would you want longer on times?
In my mind this would only waste current and lead to higher temps in the coil and transistors. I found that a twenty percent on/ 80 percent off works best on all my rotored ssg's.
As for the FWBR, coil shorting, and back popping; I haven't tried that. Only the generator coils with various rectifying modes, caps, and some kind of load. I'm not sure I even understand how to do the coil shorting part. I also wonder if back popping won't eventually harm the run battery. I'm already getting a COP over 1 in common ground mode with my newer bicycle wheel ssg, so I really see no point in trying to make a self runner with only one battery. Having a self runner would certainly be entertaining, but I am presently content with over unity and Two batteries.
