One magnet no bearing Bedini motor

[jeanna]

Well well well, I finally did it.
I have a magnet spinning and the speed (= pitch of noise  ) is staying the same. no less, no more.

I will just leave it for a while.
I guess if the 9 volt goes down a lot the magnet will slow down??
I am just gonna let it go.

I was about to give up on the new stronger magnets and rebuild it all when I remembered I had not tried all the magnets I bought.

I sure am glad I bought a bunch of different ones.!

I will try to send a pic.

Way to go!  Isn't is cool?  I knew you would be able to do it.  Make a video for the tube.

It is cool indeed.
I did make a video no talk just the singing of the dishes.
I added another at about 10" distance and it is singing away too.
I think I will just take a pic for now. (I can't yet make a video and compress it on this ubu and I will wait to turn on my mac.)

I hope I don't fry the charging battery before I am ready to turn it off.

So, can I use this with the charging battery off?
or will I fry my transistor if I do that?
I do have the neon in place and it shows no signs.

yeay!!

Yes, to my understanding you can run it without the charging bat.  That is what the neon is for.  I was upset when I first got my #1 Bedini motor going because the neon did not light up.  I thought I did something wrong.  I was told later that, when running normally, it should not light up.  Then, when I was swapping bats and disconnected the charging bat. the neon lit up as bright as you please.  It also lights a little now and then while I am adjusting the pots to extremes.

So, it sounds like you have it right.  you can try to up hook the charging battery for a brief moment and watch the neon and see what happens.  That should be ok to do.
