3.8.2 Diode blocking discharge, Schottkydiode
Components: like before, additional one Schottkydiode BAT 48
As you could observe in the former experiments, the stored energy of the
electrolytic is discharged backwards into the generator. It is important to
install a blockage for the current not to flow backwards, like a diode when
charging an energy storage f. ex. the use of an electrolytic, Gold-Caps or a
battery. The diode works like a valve which allows the current to flow in
forward direction, whereas in the reverse direction the current flow is
blocked.
With siliceous diodes the current starts flowing with a voltage from ca 0,6
till 0,7V or 700mV (mini Volt). A Schottkydiode allows the current to flow
already with 0,25V.
Note: blockage - diodes avoid the discharging of the storage. Normal

voltage;
Schottkydiodes only 0,25V.
Using a charge system we have to take the loss of energy into account
because here minimal voltages are important. Depending on the type of
diode we use, an amount of 0,6V to 0,25V will get lost and not be stored. In
the following experiment we can recognize that less voltage is charging the
electrolytic, because an additional diode is connected. Especially when the
voltage of charging is relatively low, it is easy to observe.
