Need help with basic Bedini Motor

[tachyoncatcher]

Let me share some insight on the Bedini Motor.  It’s a battery charger/conditioner.  It’s a learning tool.  It’s a mechanical oscillator, of sorts.  If you learn control electronics, you can electrically swap the battery roles so it runs for a very long time, (until something fails, and it will).  It is not a generator.  It has some inherent problems with switching speed, duty cycle, and control.  These are all limitations of the design, not the potential result.  You can do most of the same things with just a coil of wire and some control electronics.  But, listening to a coil sing/hum is not as much fun as watching something spin.  There is a contribution from the mass of the rotor and the magnet’s fields on the wire that you don’t get from a standing coil.  I have spent decades on these devices and have seen some amazing things.  Learn from this, but don’t expect to power anything significant with it.  Take aways:
·         Lenz law can be broken.
·         Voltage without current can do work.
·         Batteries are weird.
·         Transistors are wimps.
·         Small input can do big things.
·         Magnets do many different things.
·         Dead batteries aren’t necessarily dead.
·         A fully discharged coil can be charged without Lenz forces.
·         A fully discharged capacitor can be charged without Lenz forces.
·         Transients currents are not insignificant as we are taught.
·         Electric components have electric memory.
This is not all of what I learned from that little device, but most of the important ones.
