One magnet no bearing Bedini motor

Above is a link to a youtube video I did just to see if I could get a cylindrical neo magnet to spin on this device.  As you will see, it spins very well.

@Bill: I dont know if this was mentioned here before, but have you tried toy stores to find the snake eggs?
I have run around the city too to find them until i had the idea to ask in a toy store that has all kinds of weird souvenirs and stuff like this. Maybe you can find them there.

Cool idea with the cylindrical neos. Lol i am even sure one could get a squared magnet also to rotate

Hi Folks,

Maybe you could embed a cube or indeed a cylinder magnet into the inside bottom of a half sphere like a half ping-pong ball?

This way the noise could also be reduced.

Interesting idea.  I was trying to come up with something similar but not exactly.  Last night, I ordered some neo spheres of different sizes just to see how fast I can get them going.  They may not, probably won't be, very stable but....what the heck.

Xenomorphlabs:

That is a good idea about the toy stores.  I have already checked every one in town including Toys R Us.  I am sure there are some here somewhere in a drug store or some such place.  these used to be all over the place but, now that I want them....you know, Murphy's law and all.  Thanks for the idea.

Jonnydavro - I finally got the magnet spinning and checked a 30 guage off the shelf 200 foot spool to see what kind of generation I could get - .7 volt AC up to 2.1 volt depending on if the magnet was stationary in the middle or if it was moving out around the perimeter. The highest readings came when the magnet contacted the edge of the spool.

I tried to add a second tier and get another magnet spinning - did not make it but the first magnet increased speed to where it ended up breaking the glass jar I used. Today I tried a smaller - all plastic - jar - got the same increase in speed as soon as the second magnet was removed. I think this can be done but the top of the next layer needs to very close to the top of the first magnet. The jar I tried today was still too much higher. The upper mag seemed really close to taking off a number of times.

Here is a video of the first try. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y60gRRh3jaM   SORRY ABOUT THE CAMERA ANGLE. First time.

I need to find out where to put the probes to check my power consumption on the Bedini circuit. Please help.

The second plastic jar was a bullion container and it worked really well. I was able to make a number of changes that made it quieter. When the mag picked up speed and bumped into the side it actually accelerated even more...I am not sure that the jar helps at all though as far as the pick-up coils were concerned. It placed the coils too far away from the magnet most of the time.

Thanks for all of the suggestions to get this one going. If I can do it I am pretty sure just about anyone can.
