@Lakes.No problem.The caps i used were 1000uf.Regards jonnydavro

I really think you are on to something here.  My magnets have arrived and I will be attempting to replicate your device.  I have wound another lidmotor transformer coil identical to the one I am using on my Bedini.  Thanks for posting your schematics as I am sure that will help me.  As you know, I am also going to attempt the levitation experiment once/if I replicate your set-up.  Keep up your good work and experiments, you are an inspiration to a lot of us here.

Hello,
nice to see that some more people are expressing interest in this stunning experiment that jonnydavro has come up with.

@brownsville:

What is going on in the video?

Well i originally tried to restrict the movement by putting a cardboard-ring of approx 4cm diameter around the magnet. Then i came to the idea to slam some wire onto that ring to make use of the magnet´s motion like jonny has been trying with his pickup-coils.

So i have made an aircore coil using a 3,8 cm diameter cardboard-ring of some isolation tape and put
700-800 turns of AWG #32 copper wire on there (about 14 Layers, with each layer the number of turns you can put on there diminishes a bit, well and i suck at making coils hehe)

Then i connected the coil to a bridge rectifier and a 10uF/35V cap and measured the voltage.
First i put the ring around the magnet and got a reading of 5 Volts which was good already.
Then i put the aircore coil orthogonally next to the magnet and the reading went up to 20-22V !

is the magnet needed at all or is the generation coming from the Bedini coil?

The magnet IS needed, the voltage reading in the video is mainly the induced voltage as a consequence of the magnet´s movement in the aircore-coil.
This setup has two purposes.
The first would be the normal Bedini application, where you charge a battery off the transistor´s collector with the radiant.
The second is to use the magnet´s motion to generate additional electricty and capture that.

Here i explain the way the aircore coil was made, if someone wants to replicate it:

Good Luck,

Hi.I have today tested the bemf recovery from the relay coil and also Xenomorph's aircore coil and can confirm his findings.I tested with both the angular spinning magnet and the verticle spinner and think the verticle spinner is the better of the two.The verticle spinner seems uneffected by the coil but the angular spinner slows down.Here is a video off the test.

Fantastic!  In theory, could you not add 1 or 2 more air core pick-up coils?  This is a lot of output man, good going. Xenomorph's coil idea is incredible.  I wonder if John Bedini has seen any of this yet?
