I see bediniesque , Very good , every one seems to be missing how much more that charging battery this thing dose. Its also free movement
maybe 1/10 actually use it. I am completing one my self , lets say the pickup coils (30 selenoid coils stator) on a ssg fan rotor 10 magnets n/s stator up and under the disc , it gives me about 12 volts per selenoid coil on a 9 volt load.

I cant wait to share pictures with you guys.

i can't wait to see the pictures!
speaking of bediniesque, i mentioned amigo's bedinified jt circuit back at the beginning of this thread. i can't recall if it was that circuit verbatim or a fudge of it that i did, but it behaved strangely. it requires a switch, i used a simple momentary one taken from an old vcr. anyways when pressing the switch to get it started my analog 500mA meter would max out. if i held the button for 1 second, when i released it the led would light for 1 second. if i held it for 2 and released the led would light for 2, etc. but when i got up to about 5 seconds and released the led stayed lit and would run continuously till battery was exhausted. here is the strangeness, the amp draw dropped so far i could hardly read it on my 500mA meter. the meter is graduated by 20mA increments and it sat about a needle width above 0.

Great link Timmy...another thing linking the j/t to the TPU.

Also it might be helpful to place a magnifying glass between solar cell and the Led.

That may also end up charging the battery.

Regards...

@ Cap:

I have already experimented with the magnifying glass and my Dad's solar cell from Bell Labs. (from the 60's)  It does work and work well.  I always wondered why folks making solar panels did not use this idea...even Fresnel lenses would work well.  Maybe some are doing this now but I have not seen it.  I was already thinking of a lens or lenses on my mega LEDs and the solar cells circuit.  Good call!  ***EDIT***  I still have my Bedini motor I was making (started about 6 months ago) it is about 1/2 built.  I just kept getting sidetracked but maybe now all of this will come together?

On those circuit a voltmeter can't really see what is happening, the light are not a bad indication , Because if you get the transistor switching fast enough (you don't need rotation , but hell its free  ),the vacuum feeds back the battery a bit. But the hardest part is to use the very low ground range spike.

i know, it's not a voltmeter.
it's a analog ammeter (like these) and it was not measuring spikes on the circuit, it was in series as it should be, between the positive of the battery and the circuit.

So what is your view on what is happening , i don' have much more than a digital multimeter.I can't really see more than this.

But i was thinking that if one could calculate the speed a witch the coil collapses when switch of and tune the device to go back on before the collapses finish the energy is recycled before exiting ? But that's is only theory .
