Abstract:
1. A series resonant capacitor discharge system, comprising: an electric circuit loop comprising a plurality of electrical components, said plurality of electrical components comprising a controlled voltage source comprising wherein the controlled voltage source places a first voltage on said first output while disconnecting the second output from the second terminal of the second capacitor during a first charging cycle; wherein the switching device creates a first electrical path from said second terminal of said first capacitor to said second terminal of said second capacitor through said first inductor thereby creating a first flow of electric current during a first discharge cycle subsequent to said first charging cycle; wherein the controlled voltage source places a second voltage on said second output while concurrently disconnecting the first output from the second terminal of the first capacitor during a second charging cycle subsequent to said first discharge cycle; and wherein the switching device creates a second electrical path from said second terminal of said second capacitor to said second terminal of said first capacitor through said first inductor thereby creating a second flow of electric current during a second discharge cycle subsequent to said second charging cycle.
