Bedini SSG - self sustaining

I cannot see your video as I am at work:) but we should not underestimate the usefulness of reed switches nor contact switches. The modern electronics person would call them obsolete but they can do things modern electronics can't. I have had reed switches biased with an external magnet in in such a way that they could switch in millisecond pulses at hundreds of volts with no sparking. If properly timed in the circuit they also acted as lossless diodes with no voltage drop and can rectify an alternating current or varied DC. If the biasing and timing are perfectly tuned you cannot actually see the reed switch move as the movement is in the thousandths of an inch, as well with the small amount of motion involved they will go completely silent. Many people have commented that they were not even aware that my rotorless bedini reed circuits were even running in a perfectly quiet room. The only major drawback is that they can become disturbed if the device is moved around, but other than that I have found them superior to any electronic circuits I have built because there a basically zero losses. Imagine a switch that can last years, is silent, has no losses-no voltage drop, has no turn on/off voltage requirements, no minimum voltages, can handle AC or DC or both simultaneously and very fast rise/fall times. As always the component is only as good as the knowledge of the person operating it and people should not judge things until they fully understand them. If you pull apart a relay and use the contacts you can space the contacts down to thousandths of an inch, next glue a 1/8" neo magnet to the movable contact on the opposite side of the contact near the end. You can use 1/16th inch brass shim stock strips and solder smaller contacts to them to extend the sensitivity of the switching. In this case the length and stiffness of the brass strip can be tuned to the motor, you can have multiple switches per pass of a magnet if the contact strip length is a harmonic of the frequency of the passing magnet/rotor speed . I have had these types of contact switches operating as far as two feet away from a bedini motor, they can be very sensitive to any changes in the magnetic fields.

well said. I totally agree !

a quick test today revealed that "there is no bleeding" in this experiment to the extend of providing the gain. Replacing the batteries with charged up front cap WILL NOT run the circuit in gain mode but in loss mode.

No changing frequency can either accelerate or de-accelerate the discharging rate. Caps will simply go to almost zero and stop there.

Batteries on the contrary will charge up, both of them. Now, the rate of charge is not very impressive but promising if this is scalable. I will try different voltage levels, like 100v or higher, to see if that makes the gain relatively proportional or geometrical (I wish) or exponential (I am really dreaming) or linear (that sucks).

Nonethless, this circuit seams to be behaving in a way that sounds like Bearden talking about his "dupped" copper wire where he can cut it before the current reaches the end and "close the loop" (for those that knows what I am talking about).

Another observation I must make is this: Switching only voltages and avoiding current sounds a lot like voltage and current out of phase where some call "virtual power" or "not-active power" or "reactive power". So what I am doing here is simply that with a 180 degrees absolute phase reactive power, virtually 0 power but still charging the batteries AND the cap.

Is it possible to convert this kind of "reactive power" into "real power" without forcing current to flow FROM the source??? I am forced to believe the answer to be YES and this experiment is showing that it is ( in my opinion until someone, please, show me the correct way to see this and correct me too - no pun intended ) although the power that I am having now is ridiculous but it is real.

Well I suppose I made it sound like I had something against using reeds, sorry if it came out that way.
Really, I was fascinated by the thought of it once I had seen it done. I ordered some larger reeds on ebay last Friday, they should be here this week.
They are GE DR 113, 25 for $12 shipped. Had to give them a go for that price. They dont make them any more, he said they are about 20 years old but new and in excellent condition. These are huge, 2.5 in glass tube. I have to research to try and find data on them.  I cant say they are going to be great or anything yet, But I will have fun finding out.
Anyway, thanks for your info on your experience with them AC, all great ideas to absorb.

hey my friend. No offence from me at all. I liked what alcadian said about the reeds and what you found too. Good work my friend.

Can you share the link to Ebay to those huge reed switches you mention?
