Been working on a new rig. Getting some weird results. Im using a vertically positioned hdd rotor, mags & platter facing a bifilar coil i wound. It seems very efficient will post some odd scope shots soon.

Hi Jim,

If you use those original flat magnets found in HDDs then they have NS not only through their thickness but also lengthwise (and their original backplate conducts flux to screen their backside and make their front face side stronger). See this link it explains better with pictures:

So all I wish to notice is originally they have two poles to their front side, this is what you may find strange when watching the induced voltages on scope.

Hi guys is there a way to modify bedini ssg circuit or any other motor with same pulse to charge it's own battery?
Thanks

bit excited. Ive built several diff rigs since last posting with nothing new to report... until now.
I'll post pix & vid soon but here is what I am seeing.
I can dimly light a 6.3v 0.25A bulb with no extra current draw. The motor slows but the current remains steady. The 6vsla is dropping about .02/hour. The current rig is a bit of a Frankenstein from me mucking about with various coil configs. I believe I'll now be able to get similar results from simpler  configs.

My current rotor is using 2 x 32mm disc neos which I have glued to a fan housing then bolted to a hdd rotor. I have kept the drive coil from the hdd rotor and have wired the 2 furthermost pins to a bulb. This is my generator. I haven't yet worked out power output. Im hoping that Im on to something.

Once again reed tuning has been the key to getting optimum speed to power consumtion. Ive tried collapsing the coil over a bridge & charged a cap up. I want to work on a self runner. Any ideas how I get this power back into the battery are greatly appreciated.

Ok here are the pix so far. I only have one bifilar badly wound coil and another normal air coil but I will think it will perform even better once I get another 2 bifilar in series. I'm also going to setup the rotor with a 3rd mag. Not for any reason except that it seems more natural

Hi all. Id appreciate some feedback on this. I'll measure current tmrw but I'd love your feedback. Ossie? Are you watching? Id still like to buy you a beer! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IgoonXp1WAA

I've just blogged about this & my journey & what you lot have taught me. Thank you. http://jimboot.com/the-ossie-motor

Hi Jimboot,

Some explanation is needed wrt the video...   I wonder what the black multimeter measures on the left side (Digitech type), it shows increasing values and why negative?

I assume the yellow multimeter shows your input battery voltage, right? (6.3V DC)

Your analog ampermeter shows DC input current, changes between 100mA to 130mA, right?

About the coils: you connected the air core coils in series with the handwound coils placed behind them, the handwound coils are bifilar as you wrote. Why did you position the handwound coils behind? hence further away from the rotor magnets.  Did you connect the bifilar coils in series within one handwound coil too?

What is the capacitor value you use after the Schottky diode bridge? I know the gen coils are embedded in the rotor as you showed in IMG_9512.jpg above at post #563 above. Would you measure its DC resistance?  Also would like to know the air coil DC resistances, I assume the handwound coils have only half an Ohm or less.
