One magnet no bearing Bedini motor

Hi.Here is a replication from Xenomorph.

I took some pics which show the crazy magnets pole orientation and a test i was doing with 8 pickup core's and a concave nonmagnetic lid.
@michelinho.Hi. ;DThe similarities between this and tesla's egg are only visual.The tesla egg is using 4 coils and lots off ac current.This uses 1 coil and dc.

Great find Johnny!

Have you tried the same set up over your joule thief coil yet?

Really interested to find out the generated current and voltage coming from the pickup coils.

How many winds are in your Bidini Coil?

Would a coil like Lidmotors coil that went into self ossilation work as well?

I really have enjoyed all of your videos and am looking forward to more.

I happen to have an extra 2" ferrite torroid core and was wondering if using that as the core for a Bidini type wound coil would produce the same effect?

Great work.

I have some of those magnets, can we have some circuit and coil details please?

I`d build one just because it would look cool...

Thanks.

@Brownsville.Hi and thanks.The pickup coils seem to be working quite well.In the small tests i have done so far each pickup coil should pickup at least 1v and i am planning on using 8.If i use one individualy it can pickup 3v,more if the magnet bumps into it.I am just deciding which type off magnet will produce the most consistent output..I don't know if you are aware i have one magnet which spins vertically like a balerina and another which spins at a slight angle to the verticle.The verticle one ,moves about a bit and the later one is very stable.I will have to do some more tests later in the week to see which way i am going to go.
My coil is 1:1.It is made from two 250gram spools of 26swg enamel wire.There is 170 meters off wire per 250grams and is wound bifilar.I think lidmotors coil would be fine for this.
Regarding your ferrite.I don't know is the answer.I would try it and see.
Thanks for your interest regards jonnydavro
@Lakes.This motor is very easy to build.If you build a standard bedini circuit  and coil and add a 10k variable resistor and a  6v or 12v relay coil to the trigger circuit next to the 1k pot and then upend your coil.put a lid on it and give your magnet a spin.If you are not clear with out a circuit diagram,i will put one up later in the week if you need it.Regards jonnydavro

Thanks Jonny, I`ve not built one of these before, so a circuit diagram and details on the Bifilar winding would be appreciated.
