one LED as charge- and
consumption indicator
One can repeat those experiments, this time with an additional electrolytic
plugged in parallel. The steam engine charges simultaneously both
electrolytic through the generator.

In both experiments you can observe that the energy storage does not keep
the charge, when the steam engine or the generator is shortly stopped. Still
the Led continues to shine for a short while, when the generator is
disconnected from the bread board (one crocodile clip).
Is there a leak or what is happening?
With this charging system the electrolytic is discharging backwards into the
generator. Here it is not possible to store the energy efficiently and
continuously. We do need an electrical valve, which allows the current to
flow only in one direction and stop it in the other one, to avoid the
discharge. With this valve the electricity flows into the storage and does not
discharge unwanted.
