Circuit setups for pulse motors

[Nastrand2000]

I see I need to make that tutorial video we've been talking about, let me see if I can set one up today.

Peter,
The zener diode allows the voltage to rise 12 volts above the battery(or whaterver you are charging)  then It lets the current flow. Zener diodes are used for voltage regulation. I am using a 12 volt zener, but you can find them at different voltages.

Runningbare, would you mind uploading a few photos or circuit diagrams of your work. None of us expect you to contribute the way Toad and Jason have but it is our goal to compile a source of information from experienced builders.

Sure...

And my work with magbetic levitation using bifilar coils

Cannot show the bedini pulse motor because you can see the parts I ripped from it for use in my levitation experiments

You will also find plenty of other videos I did concerning these replications.

ETA: btw, the circuits are as of the Bedini school boy motor and the Newman motor which you will find online which are the ones I used, the levitation circuit is mostly my own, when my website is back up I will post the circuit.

Nice vids, I really like the levitating coil with the led.

Hi Jason,

I assume you are aware of the fact that your series zener diode CONSUMES (dissipates) energy and this energy heats the zener so cannot appear in the output (to charge the battery further)?  Dissipated power in the zener is its zener voltage times the current flowing through it.

Sorry to chime in but I thought mentioning this, even if you may as well be aware of this.

Good to hear from you Gyula. I actually posted one of your circuits on http://www.theowlnest.com/circuit.html
How about posting a circuit which efficiently directs voltage from coil to cap to battery without use of a zener diode.
