Bedini replication in Germany

  I am using a  good simpson true rms meter and it shows  I  am drawing 1.7 amps  at full speed  and  barely get over 1 amp out with  the full resistance at the trigger circuit   . If I drop the 200 Ohm  resistance and only use the 50 ohm  var-resistor I can pull 3.7 amps  to charge batteries with . but  you know the extra  costs   at the drive battery   because I have more rpm's   and  the coils are drawing  4.5 amps .  . so no cigar yet.   I have a couple  ideas  rattling around my noggin  and I have a few 12 hour night shifts to  figure them in.   I have a couple of scopes but have to figure out what I should look for and where . . I think the juice I want shows up just after the transistor closes and the hot power falls off   If the closing fall time is where th cold power sneaks in   I should figure uot how to capture that moment.  does anyone know which scope would be better to do this I have a tektronix 100 mhz ,analogue or a lecroy 400 mhz  digital  to use  and what type of probe ?  I just don't get much time on these machines.

wicked! Good work. Glad you got it crankin. What is amp draw at running speed?

I really don't know what this is showing yet if anything but OOH ,aah  I will get back to testing and modifying after I go earn some scratch for a few dayz >>zott<<<
