here is the unit as it sits just bout to go at the rest of it this is the entire GIZMO


ist!!

im going to add 2 more pictures i want to see who will guess there importance ... 

gadget or mk1 you dont count

So, I tried a new setup with similar results.  And I was wondering, since Stefan disabled viewing profiles because of scammers; Jesus posted some circuit diagrams of his innovations - I was wondering if any of you would care to repost these or your new ideas.

My latest setup involved a free coil around which a second path coil was wound - ie, the ferrite core was replaced with a copper coil, and this was then wound with a smaller wire.  The basic output of the LED didn't change, so i've assumed that my first setup was just as bad is this latest one.

I would post a diagram or image, but it's not looking that great right now.

Here's my first attempt at a circuit.. I may be measuring the draw wrong. I'm pretty new to electronics, but I am a very good computer programmer. I want to learn electronics. I measured 3.57ma across a 10ohm resistor. I am also using a 35v 10uf cap, 60turn primary with a 40turn secondary in a 1 inch toroid. 2.2k resistor linking primary and secondary winding. The led is a 28,500mcd 20ma 3.5v-4.0v 10mm. The transistor is an NPN 2n3904.

@all

this is a quote from this great link http://www.gutenberg.org/files/15617/15617-h/15617-h.htm


Current and Voltage Ratios. In a well-designed induction coil the energy in the secondary, i.e., the induced current, is for all practical purposes equal to that of the primary current, yet the values of the voltage and the amperage of the induced current may vary widely from the values of the voltage and the amperage of the primary current. With simple periodic currents, such as the commercial alternating lighting currents, the ratio between the voltage in the primary and that in the secondary will be equal to the ratio of the number of turns in the primary to the number of turns in the secondary. Since the energy in the two circuits will be practically the same, it follows that the ratio between the current in the primary and that in the secondary will be equal to the ratio of the number of turns in the secondary to the number of turns in the primary. In telephony, where the currents are not simple periodic currents, and where the variations in current strength take place at different rates, such a law as that just stated does not hold for all cases; but it may be stated in general that the induced currents will be of higher voltage and smaller current strength than those of the primary in all coils where the secondary winding has a greater number of turns than the primary, and vice versâ.


Now are you a positive guy or not(sorry Jeanna) , if yes then what is missing here!

@ All:

Man!  I am behind on this topic again and I was only away for less than 1 day!!!!!  Again, I feel real sorry for Jeanna upon her return.  I will catch back up and answer/respond to any posts directed toward me.

I have been working on my Bedini motor tonight and it is almost ready for the smoke test.

@ MK1:

Man, I read that about three times and I can't understand it.  I will try it again in the morning.  Very interesting information though.  I love when things say this will always happen.....except sometimes.  I think we are working with the sometimes here.  (The exceptions)    Thanks.
