Since you are switching, you still have that core issue of where to put or how to use the spike from the switch, or whether it will be passed to the other cell - much like your battery/transformer experiments. There's a few options too - make before break, break before make. And I thought if you want to avoid the switch, a slotted card wheel powered with a small motor might work. Looks like a fun project, looking forward to pics.
We will see.. There are many possible configurations including double switching, where when one circuit opens, a diode is switched closed to divert the spike in series with the other panel that is coming on.
Yes I have pondered the "slotted wheel", and even a double slotted wheel where slots are on either side of the bulb where one side is blocked while the other is open and alternates. Where panels are on either side of the bulb. A setup like this MAY be needed because I have noticed the light is not instantly responsive, meaning if we flicker it at high enough frequency, the bulb just starts to stay on and we lose most of the decline. So perhaps the light on the rotor passing several coils
The part I am am most interested in, is that collapsing spike can not cause the bulb to increase in light when extra light is undesirable. What I mean is, we do NOT want an increase in source potential when the wave is trying to decline. I think that is key.
But I do think that we will be needing to use 2 panels to get the full AC swing through both polarities. So I am also thinking about something like this:
lets say 6 bulbs each over their respected panel in series. The bulbs come on 1,2,3,4,5,6 so the light starts small then at the end all 6 bulbs are on. Then they turn off 1 at a time 6,5,4,3,2,1 thus making a half wave. Then the H bridge flips polarity and repeats to get the full sinewave.
Now we may get decent magnetic fluctuations with Full AC while maintaining the closed circuit to utilize the reducing field without letting the CEMF get to the light bulbs.
All speculation at this point of course. And we can also move in the direction of amplifying that magnetic field with the various techniques discovered which uses permanent magnets and coils in a core to get 4X the magnetic strength.
I have no proof this will work out, But I do think this method allows us to bypass Lenz Law in regards to drag AND allows us to also bypass the ill effects of BEMF / CEMF.. As it has been well established,
"Light and Magnetic Fields Do NOT Interact".

Yes the amount of ambient light in the room will affect the outcome to some degree. But this could be mostly mitigated by placing a box over the contraption so only the light from the bulbs reach the panels. Or the contraption moved into a dark-room.
For now, the hope is that the ambient light only contributes minimally, and the outcome can be well above the margin of error. Then of course it can be verified in a darkroom.
But as of now, I do not yet have any data or claims as all I have done is verify we can make a transformer output some form of AC from solar.
