One magnet no bearing Bedini motor.Coil orientation test

[CosmicGnarler]

Yep, charge that coil with a magnet and the coil will kick back, amazing it still works on the side. Do you think you can get 6 magnets going? 8? Can you have them spaced not symmetrical? I guess I should just try it but my plate broke...

I feel your pain with the aggro too. Family members want nothing to do with rotating magnetic fields, yet they're happy enough to turn on the TV and heater blanket and not even know that's rotating magnetic field powered.

Something about fearing the unknown.

Hi cosmic.I think it is possible to get more magnets spinning.These magnets will attract each other unless you keep 10cm between them but you have to think in three dimensions now we know the coils field will spin the magnet if it is within 6 inches of the coil in any direction and thats with an aircore so there is plenty off space for them.I will repeat this test with a core to compare the 2 but i know the magnetic field is a lot stronger with a core.Oh yeah,Fix that plate!regards jonny

Jonny:

That is an amazing discovery there. Any orientation seems to work. I always thought it had to be at a right angle to the field but, I guess you proved otherwise. Way to go man! This opens up so many possibilities.

Hi Bill.I tried every orientation i could think off,some not shown and it worked in them all.Its as if the coil is in side a magnetic bubble and if the rotor is in side it too,it will spin.Regards jonny

cool

[marthale7]

so this is triggering your Bedini from that distance... wow...

[jonnydavro]

Hi Mart.If you put a core in the coil,it will trigger from 8-9 inches away.Regards jonny

I am enjoying your clips

Thanks moonreft.I am enjoying making them.I find something new with this motor everytime i mess with it.Cheers jonny
