One magnet no bearing Bedini motor

[gadgetmall]

I GOT IT GOING !!! SHE AINT GOING FAST BUT ITS GOING ON 2 AA BATTERYS CHARGING A 6 VOLT > Opps soory caps . It might be spinning a snake egg maybe 100 rpm its slow and in an x formation in a plastic dome  but i think my egg magnet is a little out and its not drawing 5 ma  and i have 2 little satellites spinning .I 'm happy . Its late here like 1 am and i am so excited . I will let it spin tonight and play some more tomorrow . thank you guys i think i got it now .. Truly fascinating . this is going to be great !thank you all for your kind suggestions and help . I stuck a tip 3055 on it and removed a pot and it began to spin at about 1000 ohms with a relay coil and tried plates and plastic lids on top of the coil . i found a plastic dome and glued right on top of the coil ,air core and it worked ! cool .  while i wait for some more magnets i am going to miniaturize this baby to a self contained Clear Cube with some small satellite coils . I'll snap pictures tomorrow . EDIT *** ITS MORNING . QUICK Note . Its drawing 1.2 Milliamps . the batterys (2aaa) did not go down even a 10th of a volt and the 6 volts is charged !!  l8r

@Gadget.Way to go Albert.That is great news.I know it must have been frustrating with the darn thing not working but i am glad you never gave up and your efforts have been rewarded.
If you can get a cylinder magnet with a small steel ball bearing in the central hole as a pivot spinning,it will generate a much greater rotating magnetic field and you will be able to spin many satellites.
Keep us informed of your progress and thanks for sticking with it.Regards jonny

Some experiments concerning feeding energy back to the source have been made.
Since some things that have been done with bearing-based bedini motors were tried on the one magnet bearingless motor, i have dug up a conceptional idea by Bedini/Cole that has been succesfully modified by Rick Friedrich for his school boy motor.

The fact that the single main rotor magnet has no flywheel makes it difficult to attach commutators to it to do the switching, so i have tried to keep the original solid state idea.

Unfortunately there was not much effect.
I have tried bipolar transistors and MOSFETs to do the switching because i thought that the switching would maybe not happen with either one of them.
The dilemma is that solid state switching never ABSOLUTELY disconnects anything, rather it is controlled by raising the resistance in the transistors and i believe that this is the source of the
missing success of this attempt.
I will further try to find ways to deal with that.
Am no big fan of Reed switches, they have such a limited lifespan and have a limited frequency that they can switch and hall sensors dissipate power which i think is also not good.

My Mess . I charged a 6 volt SLA (6.54) with two nimh batterys volts 2.6 milliams 1.1 is the lowest i have so far . You know its easy to run this on practically nothing and generate a heck of a lot more from the pick ups . I will be playing with returning all the outputs and see if they will produce more than 2 milliamps at the primary voltage of 3 volts . I think this can easily be done with the JT on some satellites .  I will wind another super coil sometime soon as i need this to run off one volt . Anyone have a tube magnet and ball Bering they want to sell or swap me for some solar panels and rare germanium high gain transistors ?
