I'm still confused about these disc..

...snipped tk's asinine logical fallacies...

How to test the Bedini coil and circuit with no rotor, and what its performance looks like on the oscilloscope:

prove you wrong like i did regarding your hypothesis about mosfet performance?    your repetitive logical fallacies bore me.

idiot. he wants a rotor... and he doesn't have an oscilliscope and probably doesn't know how to use one. have you even listened to a word jhsmith has even said? and what exactly is your point? other than being a prick?

Come on dude.. I'm asking y'all please don't start a pis*in contest here. U have what u think is right so does he. I'm asking for ANY AND ALL INFO. If u or any one else has a different method that's fine there's more than one way to skin a cat. So if u have other info I really wanna hear it. I don't want to hear u both argue over witch ones is better.  But I've asked the same question 2 times and haven't had a response due to the tread beeing cluttered with arguing.
So please if u have info even if its different than others I've got please give me details about it but if u must argue please do it on another thread. I'm hear to learn I thank everyone for any and all info they give. But I want to keep this thread friendly and informative. So please out of respect for me please keep the arguments somewhere else.

as you wish.

I'm still confused about these disc..

I'm sorry, jhsmith87, but Wilby seems to be my own personal troll and he follows me from thread to thread with the same old same old tired and irrelevant stuff. I was hoping he would behave and not start up, but as you see..... it didn't work out that way. It's my own fault for peeking.... he's on my ignore lists and I usually don't even read his posts.


You ask about these discs..... the coil is wound on a form, typically called a bobbin. It's like a spool of thread. It has a cylinder portion (the core) which in my case is just a bolt, and it has the disks, the round ends that are disk-shaped that keep the wire from coming off the ends of the bolt. I used a hole saw to cut a couple of holes in a piece of thin plywood and kept the "holes"... the disk-shaped cutouts that wind up inside the hole saw. These I sanded smooth and used as the ends of my coil bobbin. It makes a thing like a thread spool: two disks and a bolt. With a bit of heatshrink tubing on the bolt so the disks are spaced apart correctly. Then I wound the wire strands onto the bolt, between the disks, and I also used one of the disks as supports for the wire ends, as you can see in the video.

You can see these, I hope, very clearly in the photo I posted and in the video I linked. And I also hope you can see the neon is flashing when the magnet triggers the transistor through the coil, and that the circuit is just as Bedini described in the diagram he drew himself that I posted. And I also hope that you can see that, in spite of Wilby's irrelevant objections, that the scope shots are just what is expected from a Bedini coil. The only part that is "iffy" in my mind is my use of the thin bolt for the core. I suggest you do whatever you like for your own core, and to keep Wilby happy, please don't refer to my coil as a "Bedini Coil"... since its core isn't made of finishing nails or welding rods.

Now..... I have found that bearing systems give people a lot of trouble if they do not have access to precision machine tools. My solution to this is to recommend, and use, pivot bearings made from setscrews and pointed shafts. These can be extremely low friction and are very easy to construct. The disadvantage is that they work best if the shaft is vertical rather than horizontal. Bedini's North Pole Motor is generally shown with a horizontal rotor shaft, for a rotor that is in a vertical plane. I intend to try to build my example motor with pivot bearings and a vertical shaft, with the rotor in the horizontal plane. This may not work out because of the side loads due to the magnet interactions with the single coil, so I may have to use bushings or ball bearings in spite of my plan. But... will I be attacked by trolls, nattering that this is therefore not a Bedini motor? Probably. However, they will probably be unable to tell me what the significant difference in performance might be. Especially when I use it to charge a battery or a capacitor..... as I already have done with the "no moving parts" version in a video I just posted.
