Abstract A device for reducing electrical energy consumption is disclosed. The device is operated by a pulse type voltage source which may be a pulsating direct current or a rectified alternating current. In one embodiment, the device includes primary and secondary cicuits, with first and second diodes employed along with a transformer and a load in the primary circuit and with a large electrolytic capacitor employed in conjunction with the secondary of the transformer and the opposite side of the load in the secondary circuit, with a second capacitor being placed in parallel with the load. The present invention converts the pulsating current into a voltage level between R.M.S. and the peak voltage of the A.C. This causes current to flow acording to the Ohms Law expectation and such current may be utilized by the load.
A power enhancer device having a primary and a secondary circuit, said device comprising the combination of a pulsating voltage source tied to a first diode means, then to a first primary lead of a transformer, a second primary lead of the transformer being connected to a first side of a load and the load being connected to a second diode means, thus forming the primary circuit; a first secondary lead of the transformer being connected to its reverse polarized primary on an input side and a second secondary lead of the transformer being connected to an electrolytic capacitor that is in turn connected to a second side of the load, thus completing the secondary circuit.

Claim 3
Dependent Claim
16 words
The device of claim 1 further including a second capacitor placed in parallel with the load.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
36 words
The device of claim 2 wherein the arrangement of transformer and capacitors maintains an average voltage across the load that is greater than the normal R.M.S. voltage of the source, but less than the peak voltage.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
46 words
The device of claim 1 wherein the current is drawn from the source and through the load as per the Ohms Law expectation of the voltage across the load, making it possible to have an increased current through the load without an increase in source voltage.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
45 words
The device of claim 4 wherein the load is a heating element which is increased to reduce the current to its original level yet have increased power at the element due to the I 2 R factor which would be reflected as increased heating effect.
