\"\"<\/a>Peter sent me a picture of his Bedini motor, with its colorful coil (see the attached picture).\u00a0 He says it draws 30 milliamps at 9V when running at maximum speed.\u00a0 There seems to be a large following of this Bedini SSG device, especially among the Free Energy advocates.\u00a0 It is called Bedini SSG, for Simplified School Girl.\u00a0 I’ve been following the Bedini weenies for a few years, and I joined the Yahoo group Bedini Monopole 3, which is now in the process of getting a forum up and running.\u00a0 It’s an interesting circuit, much like a Joule Thief, but it will not run without the magnet wheel. \u00a0 It runs off a 12V battery, typically a SLA, known as the running battery. The collector voltage is rectified and fed to a second battery, which is known as the charging battery.\u00a0 But I’m not sure what the device is supposed to accomplish, because it doesn’t generate free energy.<\/p>\n

I tried building one using the innards of a CD drive.\u00a0 The Bedini instructions recommend that the builder cut up welding rod into short lengths and insert them into the core of the coil.\u00a0 Instead, I used steel wire, which was thinner.\u00a0 They recommend using two windings, one with 23 AWG and one with 26 AWG wire.\u00a0 Instead, I used three windings of 26 AWG, with two connected in parallel.\u00a0 They recommend using a 2N3055 power transistor, which has a collector voltage rating of 60 volts maximum.\u00a0 They recommend putting a neon lamp across the emitter and collector, as an overvoltage protection.\u00a0 This seems like a bad idea to me, because the 2N3055 is rated for 60V max, but the neon lamp lights up at 90V.\u00a0 They recommend using a LED from base to collector to prevent reverse breakdown.<\/p>\n

My wheel was plastic because they tell the builder to not use a steel bicycle wheel.\u00a0 They tell us to not use neodymium magnets, but I used them because I did not have any other small magnets.\u00a0 The magnets must be a certain polarity, north or south facing out, I forget which.<\/p>\n

I lashed up the circuit and powered it up.\u00a0 It did not work, and I did not pursue it any further, I just figured one of the recommendations I deviated from caused the problem.\u00a0 I do not want to pursue it again, because I don’t see what the point is.\u00a0 Also, I think the circuit needs to be redesigned for more protection.\u00a0 Many of the builders complained that they have burned out the 2N3055 and had to replace it.<\/p>\n

By the way,\u00a0 Bedini patented the circuit, but they have said that he gave permission to build his circuit.\u00a0 They sell kits, and a lot of builders buy them and assemble them.\u00a0 Many of their pictures are posted to the group.<\/p>\n

Thank you Peter.\u00a0 Someday I may dig out the parts and take up the soldering iron, and try to make a successful SSG.\u00a0 But not at this time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
