Is this the first selfrunning overunity motor w/o batteries ? Mike?s motor

<shameless ad> I have some 3.3F caps, 2.5 volts (but I've used them up to 3.4 volts).

Thanks for the advice on the transistors. I will look at replacing them with the MPS8099/8599.

@all

The motor was still running when I got to it this evening. The batteries were reading 2.41v after 85 hours. I disconnected and placed them aside while I tried out various other things.

I couldn't understand why I got a very low AC reading on coil1. The Bedini circuit showed a 10 ohm resistor between coil 1 and the transistor. I played with some different values and found that anything between 1K and 50K tripled the AC voltage from coil1 and gave about a 5% increase to the voltage from coils 2 and 3. I settled for 10k.

It still won't run for long without batteries.

I have just reconnected the original batteries and it's merrily chugging away.

Did the motor speed change when you increased the resistance?

are you shure , that you can read the AC ??
This is not Sine !!
Peaks and Pulses ...
Not to read with AC Voltmeter !

It would be interesting to see a scope shot of the trigger winding while the motor is running.
