New comer needs any and all help

[WilbyInebriated]

Well thank u very much that brings my hopes up a lot. But I am still far from close to understanding how to make one.
I still would like to know if some one could help me in building one. As I said I am very ignorant right now on building components, although I understand fairly well how they work.
Ive seen diagrams on how to do it but none I could really understand. Also the npn 152 transistor I already have I hope will work in order to keep me from sorting through my scrap pile for one..

So my main question still stands can anyone give me a for lack of better words idiot proof how to or step by step.

I did just make my coil.(the easy part) 2 strands of 26g wire twisted together to give me 4 leads, wrapped around a plastic spool about 400 to 600 turns. With iron filling the inside of the spool. And thats it as far as ive gotten or can get.

Can anyone help with a step by step

your npn152 will probably not be sufficient... your coil, if bifilar, should be of different gauge wires. a smaller gauge for the trigger winding. it will probably work anyways...

step by step? try youtube.
i'll dig out my old 'pc' bedini and take some pics of the circuit board for you when i have a bit of time...

Ive looked on you tube. No good step by steps  not thst I can understand any way. Ss far as the bifilar coil, as I said im just wanting to get it spinning not trying to recharge batteries or anything yet. So do I still need the bifilar? And u say my transistor prolly wont  work it is an npn y wouldn't it work? If I get to radio shack what should I look for in a transistor?
If u could try to explain it like this.

Lets call the 2 input wires a1 and B1 and output A2 and b2. Could u tell me what I should hook each wire to?

yes. unless you are planning on using another method to trigger. the transistor probably won't work because it isn't designed to do what you are going to ask it to do. if you go to ratshack get a 2n3055 transistor.

Lets call the 2 input wires a1 and B1 and output A2 and b2. Could u tell me what I should hook each wire to?

a1 goes to the base of the transistor (through the appropriate resistor of course).
b1 goes to the + of the drive battery.
a2 goes to the negative rail.
b2 goes to collector of the transistor.

What do u mean by negative rail?
So to be sure im right. And this is just to run the motor not including charging extra battery. The pins on the transistor will only have one wire on each pin. Two coming wires from the coil one to collector one to base, and one wire from the emitter to the negative battery post?

So I got 4 wires from the coil 2 to the transistor one to the positive battery post. Then I got one left. Where does it go? Im guessing here but is it to the negative battery post as well?

Good pic but like I said im almost a child when it comes to reading those plans unless it has plain basically idiot proof details describing what each symbole is and all thst.  And that one was describing one to charge a battery and it may seem simple but it just confuses me more. I would like to see a detailed picture like that but that only has info on the battery that powers it. And where to hook what wire and all that.

by negative rail i mean the 'rail' or 'bus' where all the grounds or negatives go. if you don't want to charge a battery don't hook up a charge battery...

So I got 4 wires from the coil 2 to the transistor one to the positive battery post. Then I got one left. Where does it go? Im guessing here but is it to the negative battery post as well?

yes. to the negative rail or bus which is connected to the negative post of the drive battery.

it does have idiot proof details describing what each symbol is... see where it says diode1 and diode2 and transistor and resistor and battery... etc. etc.  and it clearly shows where to hook what wire and all that. anywhere there is a red dot on the 'wires', that is a connection...
again, if you don't want to charge a battery don't hook up a charge battery...
