Hello there,
First of all, I’m new to electronics and generators so please bear with me. I seek the help of more experienced people to help me with my problem and I think I am in the right place.
I’m attempting to build a small scale “Bedini Energizer/Watson machine” and find myself somewhat stuck…
I have a dc motor spinning a high mass flywheel (12cm diameter) with 8 Neo magnets (1cmX0.5cm)
I have 12 coils salvaged from worn out hair clippers. These coils are wound with extremely thin wire (gauge unknown) making up thousands of turns I presume. So this will mean I will generate high voltage with low current. I know the whole setup can be constructed much more efficient and better but, let’s for argument sake try and find a way to use what the current setup is, as efficient as possible before I re-build the machine to higher standards and efficiency with better (and calculated) components.
Please note: The aim at the moment is not to make it self-run or achieve over-unity, it is to extract and utilize the energy generated as best as possible.
As it stands, each coil when I bring it close to the magnets while spinning, generates roughly 50v AC, 0.04 A. The coils are about 1cm from the magnets and so far do not slow the rotor down when shorted/loaded.
My questions:
• Should I connect coils in series? Roughly 50VAC @0.04A *12 = +- 600VAC @0.48A
The frequency will be very high so what can I do from there? High frequency step down transformer to 220-240V (South-African). How do I accomplish this?
---------------------------OR-----------------------
• Rectify the 600VAC, then buck convert from 600VDC down to 12VDC and attach an Inverter?
--------------------------OR------------------------
• Rectify each coil from 50VAC – 50VDC (no I didn’t forget the slight loss
, just theoretical) then connect all coils in parallel in order to up the current, then buck convert down to 12VDC, then inverter? (+- 50VDC@ 0.48A)
----------------------------OR------------------------
• Wind coils with thick gauge wire in order to generate more current, but still, how should I connect them and extract the energy etc?
As I said, I am new to this so please correct me where I am wrong, after all I am here to learn.
If you guys have any other ideas or suggestions not listed above, please advise me.
Let’s try and use the energy that is generated, as efficiently as possible.
Thank you for taking the time to read my thread and thank you in advance for any help.
Sincerely
P
