Bendini motor to run itself

[Pirate88179]

I found it very interesting to hear about the use of caps with the Bedini motor.  But, why not use super caps? (ultra caps)  I have been playing with these lately and they do perform just like a battery, only better.  I just read about a $169 flashlight designed for Police use that will run 6 hours and totally recharge in 90 seconds.  Yes, it uses only super caps and NO batteries.  I am also now playing with the Joule thief circuit and going to use super caps along with it.  I have never read of any one using these with a Bedini motor although it may have been done already.  Just my 1.5 cents.

   Just to note another thing I did a while back and it worked well. Not a self run but
sure dropped the battery use to nothing.
   On the output of the coil, run that back to a cap that is connected to the battery.
Between the battery and the cap, have two blocking diodes so that the output does
not try and charge the battery. This recirculates the unused power from the coil back
to the front of the circuit. Using super caps here may well help more.

 Bill, my design will be using super caps do to their ability to charge and discharge faster then a battery can. It should add more torque and be more efficient.

As I have said before, there are laws of physics and electronics that might prevent a device from running itself.
The answer is to build two identical units and use the output from one to run the other.
If you can get unit #1 to run unit #2 then it should be easy to get unit #2 to run unit #1.
What I'm saying is any device that puts out more energy then you put in must be able to run a duplicate of itself.
Even if it can't run itself, unless the excess energy is in another form, eg. heat.

That's a great idea. I'll mention it to my brother-in-law & let you folks know how it comes out...

I like the switching idea.. I think it could work.
