One magnet no bearing Bedini motor

@WilbyInebriated:

The 2nd magnet would have to be brought in at the exact speed and phase of the first magnet onto the 2nd core-end
or it would interfere the first magnet's push from the transistor.
I guess that is close to impossible.
Even if you would manage somehow to do that, the amp-draw would simply double, no real benefit in using two magnets hypothetically.
To understand that, i recommend watching this MIT professor explain how this magnet motor works:

The magnet and the transistor work together in sync.

hi, thanks for the reply. magnet two wouldn't be brought in. it would already be in place.

Then i dont understand your set-up.
What would start the 2nd magnet then ?
Do you expect the coil field to start up the 2nd magnet?
That might work or not, i am not sure if the 2nd magnet
would really start to move without kicking it manually a bit.
Would be worth trying it out.

yup, that's pretty much what i was thinking. i am not sure if the second magnet will start either. i'll probably try it out when i get some time, just to see. feel free to beat me to it.

Hi all.Some great things going on here with the  pick up coil tests.I have been busy also, exploring alternative ways off powering the motor and can run it quite happily of a solar garden led light which will charge two 2.7v 20f supercaps in 10 minutes.I can also charge a supercap via a dynamo torch i have modified in a about one minute.The motor will run for hours on this charge.I have made a vid so you can see what i mean.

@wilby.I have been experimenting with a slave coil, i have a vid posted of that experiment but i also set it up next to the master coil and put a lid on it and span a magnet up on the master and moved the top over to the slave and then span another magnet up on the master to supply the trigger and it showed signs of life but i think the magnets would have to be identical as they would have to syncronise and i have built quite a few multi rotored Bedini's and i know if they  are not the same,they won't sync so you may have to make custom rotors.Regards jonnydavro

thanks jonny, it was your multi rotor setups that made me think of it.
maybe spherical magnets would be easier to match?
