Do you have a setup I can test?

What is exactly that you want to test ?
Is that moving energy from one charged capacitor to an identical discharged capacitor using a DC-DC converter will result in final voltage being significantly more than 1/2 and close to 0.707 ?

If you think that is not true then you are basically saying that capacitor energy equation is wrong.
E = 0.5 * C * V2

I already made the example with Vi = 3V and C = 1F
Initial energy in charged capacitor is
0.5 * 1F * 3V2 = 4.5Ws

If energy is conserved after the switch was closed and you basically have a 2F capacitor (two 1F in parallel).
0.5 * 2F * (3V * 0.707)2 = 4.5Ws

Two capacitors cant exist like this. This circuit needs 2 switches, not 1 switch.

:) what?
Why will you need a second switch ? redundancy :)
SiliconWizard:
If you assume the bottom 'wire' between the two capacitors has zero impedance, then it's essentially just one capacitor. Isn't it?
