help about bedini motor

[safder]

hello friends i am new in this field.I replicate the bedini  motor . I am using one coil 500 turns and 3055 transistor  12v input.At the moment my motor is running but the output current is 8v. So plz guide where is the problem.I am using 470 ohm resistant.And the neon bulb is always remained in on position.is it normal.I am using  this diagram.

hi, a couple of questions,
does the neon remain on when you have a load (B2 on your diagram) on the circuit?
are you replacing the charge battery(B2) with a voltmeter to get your output measurement?

At the moment i don't have any charging battery connected.My input is 12v power supply 4amp.Below i mention the points where i connect the multimeter to measure the current.plz tell these are the right points to measure the current or not.
i have a 6v battery .When i connect it as b2 it charged little bit but neon bulb is always on..

There is one group which is outstandingly useful for this project, namely:

They really know their stuff -
But - stay on topic - and no spitting or swearing.

hi again.
if you have no load or charge battery on the output, the neon should be lit. it is there to protect your transistor from blowing. do you have a 12V battery you can connect as B2? or another 6V and put it in series with the one you have? or can you reduce the power supply to 6V?

using a multimeter, those would be proper connections to measure voltage. measuring current usually requires a series connection.

edit: regarding your resistor, is it a variable resistor or is it a fixed value? if it is fixed, i would suggest replacing it with a variable resistor so you have the ability to adjust the resistance on the base of the transistor.
