The Lockridge motor was a old Delco/Remy generator that was rewired to both motor and generate. It ran itself and could output about 300watts for a resistive load of lights. The lights were part of the circuit. They were in series and if one burnt out, the device would stop working. It also ate brushes.
As the story goes, Lockridge was in Germany during WW2 and found the device in a German bunker. Packed it up and sent it home. It was based on a Bosch Generator so he reverse engineered it and built his based on the Delco/Remy equivalent. He sold them as generators for off-grid camping. Bedini did get a box of parts to look at, but he found out later the parts were not of an actual Lockridge Generator, but someone's attempt to replicate one. No one in this field of research has seen an actual device constructed by Lockridge.
