Feynman makes a Bedini Motor

[Feynman]

Hey Helmut,

The core I am using is ferrite with initial permeability of 2500, so it is like a really good iron nail.  Your idea sounds good.... what were the welding rods made of?

As for the switch:   For the first test, (just to get the motor to spin), I will use a power transistor and a Hall IC.   If I can get the motor to spin up, then I will rebuild it for real with the trifilar winding.   I was going to replicate the following Bedini circuit:

Hi feynman
nice work
I'm look at making one soon
is this a good site  // http://www.fight-4-truth.com/Schematics.html#x

Yes it is... One of the best.

The Bedini "motor" is not so much a motor as a battery charger. The claim is that one battery is charged from another (via the machine), and you wind up with more energy in the charged batery than there was in the source battery. The fallacy is that the voltage on a battery indicates its state of charge. This is not so if the battery is damaged. The Bedini machine damages the target battery by overcharging it. (That is, by exceeding the specified maximum charge current).

Although the battery terminal voltage seems to indicate a full charge, if you discharge the damaged battery through a load you will not get anything like the specified amount of energy for an undamaged battery.

If you look at the instruction sheet that comes with the battery, it usually says that the battery can be damaged by overcharging - and this is exactly what the Bedini machine does.

I like the concept of this scam, because a big complicated machine is used to divert attention from the very simple fact that a battery is being damaged by overcharging. This clever misdirection even fooled the Mythbusters when they tested a Bedini machine. They just watched it operate until the source battery went flat, then said "Myth Busted". They never admitted to investigating the target battery at all, although I am sure that their expert knew all about it.

@PMM Dave

Your post shows that you know very little about Mr Bedini's machine. I am not an expert but I do know that;
1 - It does not use current to charge the battery
2 - I have yet to damage a battery with my "WORKING" Bedini machine. and have charged them over 14 volts
3 - The machine is not complicated, in fact, it is beautifully simple.
4 - The "MythBusters" Hit-piece did 'NOT' have ANY magnets on the wheel that was turned by the pulsed motor. Go and watch it again then do a little experiment for me. Wind a coil, any size coil with an air core, connect it to a load and a volt meter then wave a piece of aluminium over it and come back and tell me/us what the meter read.

If your the sort of person that believes what the television is telling you, then your in the wrong forum matey-boy. If your prepared to open your eyes and wake up to the world, start doing your research.

The Bedini machine as it stands in the open-source world is NOT COP>1 but it does regenerate 'dead' sulphated lead acid batteries that a 'normal' battery charger cannot charge
