Ok. Here goes nothing.

Well, I have been running C.O.P. tests on my batteries for a while now. I have learned alot about both batteries, and the bedini technology. I still have a crap load more to learn, so I have decided to build one of the more advanced models to further my experimentation on this subject. The next one I build is going to be with the cap pulser circuit, which will enable me to rotate the charging and driving batteries. It isnt going to be something I whip up in a short time, since time and ofcourse, MONEY, is going to slow down the process. School starts at the end of the month, so I will have even less TIME for this. I am hoping to try and build it before school starts, depending on the MONEY part of the equasion. (Magnet wire and magnets are not very cheap now a days!!) The picture schematic on the bottom shows what I am currently running right now, and on the top is what I am going to build. As you can see the technology gets just a little more complicated!!! Oh boy, well, I guess we will see what comes of this project!!!
BTW, If any of you are interested in doing these projects here, just let me know and I will do everything I can to help you out building it, and try to help you understand what is happening. ( My knowledge is limited, so I can also point you in the right direction for more info)

Finally have my set-up in the house!!

Finally I have moved my bedini project to the basement, winter is coming!! I have a pc down there so I can connect and monitor the status of my batteries from upstairs as well!! Yippy!!!! LOL I know none of you care, but Im posting this info anyways !!

Over Unity is real!!

Ater running my first C.O.P. test, the results are in. I acheived a C.O.P. of 1.74!!! So what that means in lamen terms, is that I got more energy out of the test battery, than I put into it. A C.O.P. result of 1 would mean I got equal amounts of energy in and out. (That is the best a conventional charger can do i believe) So if I am getting more work out of a battery than I put into it with conv. electricity, where is that additional energy coming from??
More tests to come of course, this is just the tip of the iceberg!!
Feel free to leave comments, by clicking on comments beloew this post, next to the date.

Bedini Injury!!

Well, I got my first, and hopefully last Bedini Motor injury today!! It just goes to show that magnets CAN do work!!! As you you can see in the picture, these magnets really did a job on my scalp!!! I guess it really ISN'T that important to try and "hear" the magnet impulses coming from the coil, especially if it means getting your head to damn close to the wheel spinning 170 rpm's with sharp ceramic magnets attatched to it!!! On the bright side, there wasn't any damage done to my motor, it just continued to run after me yelling loudly after being struck in the head by it. LOL You can't help but laugh, well, atleast after wiping the tears from your eyes and realising what just happened!!!

Bedini SG Update

Ok. A couple of changes to my bedini project. I have rewound my coil, after twisting the two wires together first. (All by hand, 600 feet worth!!!!) I also have changed the core to the R-60 welding rod, what a difference it makes!! I also changed my magnets from the small neo's to the ceramic ones called for in the plans. Makes a big difference. I also changed out my batteries from the 17AH to a couple 3.2AH batteries. This will help when I begin testing the unit, by making the charge time faster. Without any tuning of the motor, it is allready spinning much faster. It is turning clockwise, and is now spinning fast enough to where it "appears" to be spinning counterclockwise. I have allways liked that illusion!!! Anyways, will be posting more as soon as some changes have been made.

Revamp the bedini motor.......

Well, after running the bedini motor for almost 24 hours, I decided to make some much needed changes to the system. First, I am rewinding the coil, twisting the 2 wires together to create more a more efficient coil by keeping both wires touching the entire way of the coil. Also, I am changing the core from a solid piece of carbon steel to a piece of 3/4 inch cable, used for over head crane from work. Should work the same as using welding rod, since it is built up of hundreds of tiny steel wires wrapped together to fill the core. Then I will clean and repack the axle to my wheel to make sure it is spinning freely, since I could hear junk grinding in the bearings on the first test run. I will also add 2 more magnets to the O.D. of the wheel, going from 8 to 10 magnets. After these changes I wil test the motor again with the same (old) batteries and hope for some over unity!!! Eventually I will purchace 2 new betteries for this project.

First Bedini Motor is RUNNING!!

Well, as of today and 3 previous failed attempts, I got my first built (poorly) bedini motor to run. I used a solid steel core instead of welding rod, and my coil wires were wound quickly and not very tight. The bearings in my wheel are in bad shape, need cleaning, or possibly a different rotor set-up all together to avoid the major resistance i am geting now. With bad bearings, poorly built coil, i have do not have any over unity at this point. It is running though, so I am on my way to over unity with a bedini motor!!! I will be doing many changes to it in the near future!

Model Rocket Countdown Launcher Circuit

This is a circuit that counts down from 10 to launch a model rocket using bright red LED's. There is a short video showing the sequence in action. The green LED that lights from the relay switch is replacing the igniter that would normally ignite and launch the rocket. Next is to transfer the circuit from the breadboard to a pc board and solder it all together.

My PIC Programmer WORKS!!!!!

Ok, so i finally finished my PIC Programmer. And after many, many, many failed attemps at a succesful program, i finally accomplished it!! In the video is proof!! Yea i know, a blinking LED is not very impressive, but doing so with a programed PIC is an accomplishment for me!! At first i was beginning to think that my programmer was a new paperwieght, but finally after figuring out the programming software, hex files, etc. it worked!!! So now on to more complicated circuits!!! I added some pics of the programmer in a temporary case.

Bedini Motor

I am currently in the pre-stages of building my bedini motor. I have my wheel built, and am working on a bench in my basement to use my bedini motor on. I have built the circuit, and need to wind my coil, mount the magnets, etc. etc. Here are some quick pictures showing what little progress i have done. The top picture is obviously my wheel, the middle is of the bench i am building, and the bottom picture is of my finished bedini circuit.

My projects page.

This is the page i will post all my stupid little projects i like to do.

For example, the pic shown here is of a simple intercom circuit i am planning on building. When i get to it, i will post more pics of my progress, and ofcourse explenations.. Yippie, lucky for you guys!!!!
