Hi Magluvin,

check the picture attached, replace the magnetic ball with something like the one I draw in the picture and will easier to get it runing.
I believe this one has the potential to self run. Instead of fighting someone should better build it and see if it works or not.
It is close to the one I have built with hall sensor and no battery, just the right size capacitor.
I will build it aswell one of these days.

Regards,
Romero

Hi Magsy

That's JUST SO COOL.  Amazing.  Is this Wilby's work?  Or did he simply upload the video?  I'm going to see if I can buy one of those spherical magnets and try this myself.  So SWEET.

Maybe Jimboot can show us his work as well?  I think we'd all be interested - even if it's to show the difficulties. 

Kindest as ever Magsy,
Rosie

Hey Romero

Thank you very much for that.       

The fighting is just to pin the tails on the donkeys, so that all may know what exactly we are dealing with when these people that try to discourage progress. So in the future here, everyone can see how many holes are in those buckets they present to us and be able to look beyond the walls of the box they are trying to put around us.   

Again, thanks.

hey Rose

No, Wilby just copied it before it was taken down. Zeropoint132 at YT made the vid and the device.

Gota git back to work, im 20 min late from lunch. But I have that option to do so. ;]

Im putting together a base for the coil I have to mount to. And my rotor and base had some liquid spilled on it. I thought it was my cats doing at first, but I dont know what it was. Was in the closet for quite a while. So im cleaning out the bearings also. The bearings are from a hobby shop. I had taken the caps off to clean the grease out completely and ground in graphite powder a couple years ago. The graphite remains in the bearing race even when cleaned with acetone when dirty.
I tried just about every oil. Nothing worked like this....

And one from someone who took my advice. ;]

My 2 vids after that in my YT vid list show the rotor rundown from 1200 rpm. It took 14+ min to stop, thus 2 vids, when TY had the 10min limit per vid. 

Its a bit boring. But towards the end, it seems like its just never ever going to stop. ;]

Just thought I would share that tid bit.

I soldered some longer leads to my temporary bifi before I get my supplies in. They were short for another project, but here I need change ability with connections.

Got diodes, leds, reeds, rotor on a base, reed stand, and the most important thing, NO  BATTERIES! 

Hey Romero
In your opinion, does it matter if the 2 separate strands are of different size in the bifi?  If they are different, which one is which?    And it would be of great help in understanding the why they should be different. If the same size, I can start winding now, not next week.     And already on 2 separate spools. That would make me happy.

Romero. Is 4000 turns necessary?   More turns, longer wire, lower freq of operation to get good effects?
And when you say the right capacitance, now I know that when the reed is released, the capacitor is not just for reed switch protection. Just figuring. 

Romeros circuit is the same as Z's parallel circuit. 

Thank You      Sorry for all the questions. I have more too. lol
