One magnet no bearing Bedini motor

@Nievesoliveras.Hi Jesus.I am not to sure what you mean with the relay coils.Can you clarify?Regards jonny
@Retrod.Hi Dave.I have been thinking about your last vid with the rotating alu ball and i think you can do something similar to what i have been doing and that is use it as a switch.If you had it running around the edge of your plate in a guide,you could have it run over conductive contacts and maybe switch that way.Regards jonny.

@Gadgetmall:
I agree with retrod a good spin is really important, I thought it was too weak too but,  for me it was kinda hard to keep the poles perpendicular to the poles of the coil, so when I use it with the spheres I put a couple of BB's on the poles of the mag, they will fly off so watch your eyes....also I don't have a feedback relay or a neon. Hope you get it running...

@all:
anybody know about caps? I bought one of those floaty globes at a garage sale for 5 bucks.
doesn't work and needs a new cap, a 470uf 25v, but I only have a 35v and a 10v 470uf, which one is more likely to work? I think the higher voltage one but I am not sure and I don't want to fry the rest of the circuit....the reason I want to get this fixed is cause I want to try to hook up a bedini type setup and spin the hell out of the floating globe.....any suggestions?

There is one video of a setup that claims self start and 150,000 in speed with a magnet sphere inside an air coil.
Using one self starting magnet sphere and surrounding it with sealed coils with water and spheres as the photo you posted above will make the @jonnydavro One magnet no bearing Bedini motor a good electricity harvester.

Repeat: One self starting coil with a magnet sphere inside, surrounded with pickup coils with self starting spheres inside and collecting all the outputs.

Best wishes!

Well being this circuit in the solar cell float globe led  isn't more than 5 volts. 10 is safe 35 is good too .Its just over protected with the 470uf @25v . and thansk for the input . i can spin the hell out of a rattle snake egg magnet and it will stand up on a plate for a second or two . so speed it no the issue here . i have been on dead top of the coil though in all my test . i will try and move it away an inch at a time and see if it takes off . thanks

Al:

I don't recall if you are using an air coil or not.  If using the iron core like I did (cut-off nails epoxied together) I found to get stable rotation I had to move the core exactly 1/2" below the top surface of the core spool. (My core slides in and out)  As I believe Jonny said, too close to the iron core, especially with this large tube magnets, really has a bad effect on the rotation.  The experiments I did tonight are with the core removed and my little sphere neo really spins up in a plastic tube.  It is not self-starting as I have to give it a little twist before dropping it into the tube but then....it takes off.

If you can't move your core (if you have one) try placing spacers at intervals to move your spin surface above the core/coil.  Again, my Lidmotor coil with the nails needed 1/2" separation to get it to stand up and spin right, and yes, this was with the snake eggs as well.
