One magnet no bearing Bedini motor

[eroutt]

wow! i never figured it made it to overunity.com its nice to know that i at least started something! from all the failures i have made in the past:) if you have not seen my latest video:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jdoCgKIRiK0 i have got this neo ball to levitate under a bedini coil. i would like to see this perfected, its very strange how it spins and levitates the way it does!

Hi.After watching Lidmotors latest vid showing his motor running wirelessly,using his version of Dr Stifflers SEC,i thought i would try but using a different approach.I have long been fascinated by plasma globes and i am convinced that there is a lot more to these than it just being a fancy capasitor with the centre ball being one plate and the glass being the other and i have seen some strange sec like effects using plasma globes and i have not quite got my head round Dr Stifflers sec but I am slowly aquiring the parts as it looks great,anyway i found out that you can harvest quite a lot of energy from the air around a plasma globe and i tried it on the one magnet Bedini and it spins great.
This is how i did it.I placed some aluminium trays and a bit of tin foil as i ran out of trays around the plasma globe and fed the energy collected from the air,through a coil in series and then into a bridge rectifier ac input.I had a wire from my earthed kitchen sink going to the rectifiers other ac input.I also had a large cap attached to one of the trays which simulates me holding the tray which increases the voltage on the 1000uf run cap which is charged from the rectifier.The omnbb is then conected to the cap and of it goes.
I first ran the plasma globe from a 12v adapter and it worked great.I then removed that and used a 12v car battery and the results were the same.
I think this could be refined and someone with some knowledge of ariels may be able to help here.Here is a vid of it running.Regards jonny

Jonny:

I have already replied on youtube (as you know) but this is the most creative experiment I have ever seen.  There is no way in a million years I would have ever come up with trying this.  Excellent job and I take my hat off to you for your creativity.

This is one excellent video Jonny.  Very nice work.

Hi.This is my first prototype of a levitating one magnet Bedini motor.I have used 4 N38 25mm x 6mm disc magnets to levitate the rotor.All the magnets north poles face towards the left including the rotor and the only point of friction is where the rotor is in contact with the headstock.I think it may be possible to levitate it at this point by using a pepulsing magnet setup or some form of magnetic bearing but i will look into this.
I have taken this approach instead of powered coil setups as it is seems a shame to use power to levitate a magnet when we can do it for free using repulsion.Here is a vid of it running.Regards jonny:thumbsup:

@Pirate.Many thanks Bill for your kind coments.Hope you like this as much as this has got a chance of going frictionless with a bit of development.Kind Regards jonny
