Bendini motor to run itself

[nightlife]

 Paul, there is a video posted on you tube that does what you are asking about except I do not know how long between the switch over, 10 minutes? I believe it was said to run for more then a week. I will try to find it and post a link to it for you.

Paul, the following link is to the video I was talking about. It is the last motor recorded in the video.

Hi All

Well the motor/cap combination in my last setup was interesting but it didn't keep the primary battery from slowly draining in my setup 

@ Nightlife Thanks for the link to introvertebrate's video 

Regards,
Paul

You are a prat, Pinestone. What Bourne says has been confirmed many times.

I wonder if it is because the driving coil is involved in a hot electricity application
whereas the pickup coil is about cold electricity.

I'm not trying to be rude, but "because the battery doesn't like it" is not much of a statement.
If it was an organic battery that had living cells, maybe I could understand his comment, but we are talking about chemicals, and they have no emotions.

If the Bendini outputs more energy than required to run it, then there should be some sort of switching/steering scheme that would allow for the use of one (or no) battery.

As I have said before, there are laws of physics and electronics that might prevent a device from running itself.
The answer is to build two identical units and use the output from one to run the other.
If you can get unit #1 to run unit #2 then it should be easy to get unit #2 to run unit #1.
What I'm saying is any device that puts out more energy then you put in must be able to run a duplicate of itself.
Even if it can't run itself, unless the excess energy is in another form, eg. heat.
