The Bedini Circuit

The bedini circuit in my opinion is a very flexible circuit in its simplicity and it uses very few components and with an easy adjustment for 'fine tuning' using a potientiometer and a recommended (analog) (milli-)amperes meter. For the person who is not familiar with the Bedini Circuit, I recommend to build a 'one circuit system', John Bedini's 'Simple School Girl (SSG)' circuit instead of a multi-slave coils circuit system. You can find information about the Bedini 'SSG' anywhere on your favorite internet search engine. You must understand the circuit in its simplicity before wasting valuable time and parts on scaling the circuit. Once you build your first bedini circuit and getting it to run for the first time you will first be surprised how easy it was to build and then after some basic experimenting it begins to open your mind to possibilities that go on endless because you don't see technology like this in our everday life and it opens a fresh newlook in the world of battery charging and motor/generators. Now I can't and I am definately not qualified to get into the physics behind the more advanced bedini circuits. I believe it is all based on 'negative entropy' and how to capture and transform it for practical use. Well enough of the scientific talk lets build a circuit.

The 'Simple School Girl' Circuit (SSG)

The simple school girl circuit is the most basic circuit in the hype of these types of RLC circuits, like a Joule Thief (JT), but with the SSG ...more info about the SSG. John Bedini has put a voltage blocking diode to direct the DC voltage from the pulsed (energizing of the coil) and redirects the BEMF also known as CEMF (Counter Electromotive Force) more info...to a charging battery capturing the energy that is normally wasted in our modern ideas of motors/generators that transformed(energy) into heat. There are explanations of the details to Electrical Engineering(EE) else where on the internet, one being a video called 'Electric Motor Secrets' by: Peter Lindemann. which will explain BEMF in great detail, he also shows you how to make a dynamo-type measuring device for calculating 'Coeffiency of Performance(COP)' and in accuracy horsepower of a motor.

Note: In this presentation I highlight in red recommended information that helped me get started. I decided to share these ideas with you 'the reader' to help you save money in your build and your experimenting. Before I built my first ssg circuit, I spent months researching because of my lack of knowledge of EE and I hope my information here on this website helps shorten your research time. Because I never had any mentor or assistance to help me understand EE and its circuits. I was on my own like a child to comprehend it. I can't build anything that I can't understand how it works and until I can invision it running in my mind. I will not touch a tool to waste my time building it.

... and of course, I am always open to better ways of doing things. Please leave a comment.

The Components:

1. The Battery:

I don't want to corrupt your belief in your quest but as far as batteries there are many types of, and John Bedini from my research, I believe he likes Interstate batteries, but I have no idea if there is any conflict of interest or debunking there. And from my research and from my experience in building my Experiment lab, I believe in a RLC circuit like Bedini's you are basically tuning an antennae similar to a SWR meter -  if you are familiar with CB radios or Ham radio operating equipment, but in this case think of the battery as the antennae (Di-Pole). The circuit needs to be tuned to every different battery because it may either be sulfated or may have different resistance and what needs to be tuned some call this tuning “Impedance matching. ”The Bedini circuit will charge any dead battery, but not all cases every battery comes restored or desulfated to become useable again depending on the condition of the battery. I believe new batteries will give you ideal data to experiment with for better results.

A far as batteries, when you put a load on a battery there are variables of the battery's condition to consider that you may not at first notice on the analog or digital voltage meter. When a dead (absolutely no good and cant light much for too long)battery, even though it may read 12.00v with meter, when you put a 1 Amp load on it how fast does the battery drain to x voltage. A good battery based on a 12volt battery will read on the meter fully charged. ~12.25v to ~13.00v on the meter. A 7amp hour 12 volt battery should run 1 amp for 7 hours at ~12.00 volts not at 11.00 volts, somewhere in there is a variable of a “C20 rate” in the yahoo group forums which is like saying we lied its not 1 amp per hour ,its .350 amp per hour. And when you watch the meter putting a 1 Amp load (this experiment using a 1 Amperes (current)  load may be different in your application you are applying) on a good battery the voltage will only drop slightly and stabilize at a voltage then slowly drains, On a bad battery you will see putting a load on it at 1 Amperes, the meter voltage will quickly drop to 11 volts or less ( and this is also assuming the battery you think has its share of time on the standard charger) this sudden fall of voltage is indicating the lead plates in a lead acid battery is sulfated. From research on Bedini's circuit is that he claims his pulse charge thumps the battery with a high voltage spike to vibrate or (ring) the plates to try to desulfate the battery from the shorted out cell or cells (average batteries are made up of cells that hold about 2 volts so assuming the battery you see 6 cells of plates inside of the battery, so you have 6 cells x 2 volts = 12volts) anyways you probably already know that, my point is with a 1 amp load on the battery reading the meter, does the battery reading drop suddenly to 9volts or maybe 4 volts, in the case of the sudden 4 volt drop would indicate you have at least 2 cells that are sulfated and with the 9volt it would indicate at least 4 cells shorting out from sulfating.

1. The Trigger:

The trigger wire on the coil, in my motors I use 26 guage this is the wire that gets energized as the magnet passes by that generates a voltage onto the base of the transistor which closes the circuit to energize the drive coil (creating the magnetic flux). When the magnet passes away from the trigger coil it disconnects the battery from the drive coil by stopping the flow of electrons using the principles of the transistor as a on/off switch. There are other ways to make a trigger so you dont have to use a trigger coil in your designs, you can also use reed switches(with frequency limitations), mechanical switch(commutators which create fricton) and hall switches(magnteic switches). The choice is yours, its your design use your imagination.

2. The 'Hybrid' Air Coil (The Transformer)

There are many ways to wind the Bedini Coil depending on what you are trying to build. The 'SSG' Coil consists of a 'trigger coil' and a 'drive coil'.The more advanced Bedini coils are relatively all the same except there are extra wires of (Magnet wire) enameled '23' gauge at the same length and the resistance measurement of the wound wires will be different because everyone experimenting cannot make a perfect coil and core because of this, every coil is unique in 'resistance' and 'saturation flux density'. It is also recommended in the forums that the more length of wire the better the results. I have not experimented with those recommendations, but I have tried 2 coils with a 2 different lengths . The coils were trifilar @175ft and trifilar @125ft in length. I definately saw better results from the 450 turn(175ft) lengths.

Questions Gathered :
1. If there are better results with more windings in the coil then how many winds do we have to go for best results?
2. The impedance of free space is 377 ( 376.730313462 ) ohms in the literature of Modern Physics is there a relation to the measured resistance (ohms) in our unique coils? Comments

The difference between the SSG coil and the more advanced coils:

I have attempted to be invited to the Bedini's advanced yahoo group to understand this technolgy more, but I have never have gotten a responce for my request. Probably because I never followed their instruction in building the SSG with SSG test data. I attempted to request and invitation with data from my 12 pole, which I would say they have a reason for not inviting me. So please understand, I am not a member or have any knowledge of John Bedini's advanced motors unless shared publicly elsewhere in the internet that I may have pointed my internet browser to.

a. The SSG Coil is a 'bifilar coil'...meaning that the SSG coil has two different guage enameled wires of the same length wrappped tightly into 'x' amount of turns. The most common gauges in the search seems to be '23' and '26' guages, eg: take one length of '23' guage enameled wire around 175 feet long and take one '26' guage enameled wire at the same length @175 feet long and wind them on a spool (bobbin) and you have the air coil for a SSG circuit. other combinations of enameled guage wire can be used but it will change resistance values in the finished circuit.

b. The more advanced coils like the one for 'John Bedini's Radiant Energy Powering of the Monopole Motor' and his 'Radiant Pulse Charger' are 'trifilar coils' It is ideally a 1:1 transformer with an optional trigger coil. In laymens terms a 'trifilar coil' is three wires wound onto a spool. 2 wires are exactly the same guage eg: '2x 23 guage enameld wire' @ "x" amount of length (1:1 ratio) and an enameled 'trigger wire' of a smaller gauge eg: '26 guage ' for the triggering part of the circuit also the same "x" amount of length. Only thing really important to pay attention to is... which side is the 'north pole' when pulsed with 'Direct Current' (DC) electricity? ...And finally just make sure the windings are tight on the spool.

c. ...more advanced circuits with slaves are trifilar coils with extra slave coil/wires of "23" guage enameled wire wrapped in addition to the trifilar wrap so now you have a 'quadfilar coil' and again add another slave coil/wires of '23' and keep adding extra wires till your hearts content. Those wires would go to all the radiant energy gathering slave circuit/s just remember to wrap them all together tightly for better induction and results, experimentors even use a drill and twist the wires to make a one twisted cable wire to wrap around their bobbin(spool) @ "x" amount of turns.

Recommended coil to build:
Since I wanted to experiment with several bedini patents I wound my coils for experimental purposes only. Even though other experimentors wind as many as they can to a recommended 800 turns according to the yahoo groups. If you plan on doing alot of experiments in the 'radiant energy' starting from the most basic setup "SSG" I recommend making a 'quadfilar' coil with 3x '23 guage wires' and one trigger '26 guage wire' @ 450 turns or 175ft length each. This configuration will leave the coil open to many different applications and experiments and by making only one coil it will save you time and money.

1. Transistor x 1 (2n3055)
I Recommend to buy a few for spares.

2. Fast-switching diode x 1 (1n914)
I Recommend buying many for plenty of spares and plenty for other experiments.

3. Resistor x 1 (for this presentation I will use a 680 ohm)
I Recommend to buy an assortment pack with many different resistent values.

4. Rectifying Diode 1000v x 1(1n4007)
I Recommend buying many for plenty of spares and plenty for other experiments.

5. Potientiometer 1k ohm x 1
I Recommend to buy a few for spares.

6. Optional: Doorbell lightbulb (12v 60ma) x 1 ...also known as the "grain of wheat" (helps for visual tuning the Bedini SSG circuit)
I Recommend to buy a few for spares.

7. Ne2 (60 volt Neon Light) x 1 (to protect the transistor in case of accidental disconnects from the charging battery)
NOTE: If you are using a coil for the trigger and accidently disconnect the Charging battery on the SSG and do not have the Ne2 between the collector and the emitter there will be a very good chance you will burn out your potentiometer. The Ne2 is there to protect the electronic componants from the high voltage that this unique RLC circuit manifests.
I Recommend to protect each individual transistors at all costs.

8. Magnets- I see everyone using all types of differerent magnets. I chose my grade 5 or 8 ceramic magnets width = 1-7/8(1.875)in. x Depth= 7/8(.875)in x Height=3/8(.375)in. The reason I chose these magnets because they are cheap and you can find them locally at hardware or craft store. My spools are almost the same diameter of the width of my magnets which definately is enough magnetic flux to energize the trigger wire in my coil. I see many people with neodymium magnets with working models but remember the magnet is really only the part of the monopole motor for attracting to the iron core (attraction motor) to create a momentum for the energizing of the trigger coil to apply a voltage to the base of the transistor which opens the gate of energy potential from the battery to the drive wire of the coil. It is the on and off switch of the battery powering the drive coil. I have personally seen experimentors use 1x 1/4 inch ceramic magnets stacked 10 high and embedded in his rotor. He hasn't taken any data down to show me performance, but I did notice if not adjusted correctly in distance from the core it could create unwanted magnetic drag. In all reality the spinning rotor is just a very unique magnetic switch that charges a coil of wire (trigger) that applies voltage to the base of the transistor as an (on/off switch) to allow electrons to flow into the coil.

... ahhhhh but wait!... what about the core? Lets get one thing straight before we go in depth of the core material. The bedini monopole motor is in fact an attraction motor. So if you decide to make a Solid State Radiant Energy Pulse Charger you do not need the core material inside your coil. The rotor with ceramic magnets are attracted to the core (ferrous) material causing the rotor to pick up momentum, when the magnet charges up the trigger coil the power coil will energize acting like an electromagnet with its north pole now cancelling out the magnetic pull and the magnet spins by the core like it was a non-ferrous material then it moves away from the coil and as it moves away from the trigger wire the voltage drops on the base of the transistor and the electromagnet shuts off like a switch. Then the next magnet in motion will atract to the iron core once again repeating the process all over again. If there is not enough resistance on the base of the transistor then the electromagnet coil will push more like a repulsion motor, but this uses more electric current. If too much resistance is applied to the base of the transistor then the rotor will slow down because the electromagnet coil is not creating a strong magnetic flux too cancel out the attraction of the magnet so the results would be a slowing down of the rotor and also the current (amperes) drops down as well. This type of motor in my opinion would not be a very good motor to gain horsepower from, but you can get some very high rpm's from the spinning rotor...of course for every coil you put on adds to its potential. The motor would have to be scaled very large to gain useable torque or horsepower. but if you have a lenzless generator on the shaft. You can have a very effiecient bedini motor spinning a shaft spinning a generator. I have tested these concepts with adding a generator to my bedini motor with good results. With Lenz Law in the way they arent good enough! But you can work your way around lenz law! ... more info.

The Soft Iron Core and 'The Transformer':

UPDATE: What about the copper coated welding rods in the core?. Well we all know that soft iron as a core creates a stronger electromagnet. I have found that copper in fact will weaken the electromagnet. So I would assume we don't want a strong electromagnet in the SSG because it is in fact not used as a repulsion motor. Therefore a strong electromagnet is not necessary for its functionality, but we do need the soft iron core for its functionality of the attraction of the coming magnet in the SG as an attraction motor. Or maybe it is is for low watt loss, or maybe also "if transformer core is made up of copper the conductivity of copper will be more and hence eddy currents will flow through core therefore eddy current losses will increase", and/or maybe its an ungrounded electrostatic shield aka. faraday shield instead avoiding inhibition of the voltage transients / voltage spikes instead of suppressing them ....your guess is as good as mine.

 It seems that the Bedini coil is a hybrid air coil and the core should be made of soft iron of many pieces of thin wire with air gaps for reducing saturation flux density, the result is a reduction in the effective permeability means of the high  permeability ('conductivity for magnetic flux') that we need in the core. Materials with high permeabilities include iron and the other ferromagnetic materials. The soft iron wire should be laminated with enamel or poly vinyl acetal, polyester or polyurethane so they create a small hysteresis loop area for low hysteresis loss to get the lowest Remnance for the reason for unwanted eddy current loss amongst the other pieces of soft iron wire within the core. In English I am sure you want to hear... in other words you want the core to let go the magnetic flux fast as possible back to a zero state. Which is where according to Tesla, John Bedini and many other researchers is where the spike originates (the collapse of the magnetic field).

'Soft' magnetic (ferrous) material such as iron alloyed with silicon. Its area is small so it's ideal for a low loss transformer core. The addition of 3 % of silicon to iron reduces the hysteresis loss at 1 tesla from about 250 to 163 J m^-3
