Hi Ken, I have designed and built many circuits using this part (SG1524). It is a pulse width modulator and is a very slick part with many uses. In this circuit it is being used as a Tesla switch to charge batteries. I personally don't believe this circuit has any chance of gaining any extra energy as it just shuffels the available energy around. This particular circuit can't work IMHO as there is no timing parts shown for the SG1524, these chips do not just oscillate on there own, frequency is set by a resistor and a capacitor which I do not see in the schematic. There is also no pin out shown on the SG1524 so I'm not sure what their driving the transistors with as there is only 2 outputs on this chip, it seems to me that something is wrong with this schematic, as it stands, I don't think it is workable. Hope this helps. I guess it could be hooked up with all the offs to one output and the ons to the other (probably the way it was intended) but there is no support circuitry shown on the schematic that is important for the 1524 to opperate. I could add it for you if you wanted to try it?
