What a fantastic video! Its very kind of you Jonny to take the time to make the construction of your exciters very clear. I need simple how to videos like this as they are great troubleshooting resources. Im gonna try this strange singing coil ASAP. Great work
Thankyou Seth.I seem to have the only one of these so it would be great if you could try it.It is straight forward really.You just need to use a decent bifilar coil for the bedini circuit.I use 1:1 ratio and make the coil with two 250gram spools of 26swg mag wire from maplins.Happy experimenting.Jonny.
Dunno if been mentioned..but does the plasma not burn because of the pulse frequency difference to a normal exciter ? The scream sound there seems to indicate a pulse difference.
The negative on the primary battery go’s to the inner 20 gauge wire on the coil which also go’s to the emitter on the transistor and the inner 24 gauge wire from the coil go’s to the collator on the transistor then the neon bulb is connected to the emitter and collator is there any problems you see in this hookup? My core is made of iron filing glued together. some people have told me to play with the pot intel it work do you agree or are they talkin shit
Hi 333kgb.I think i see your problem.The 24g inner wire should be connected to emitter,you have it connected to collector.The inner 20g wire should go to collector.You have it connected to primary negative.The diode for the charge battery goes from collector to charge battery positive but make sure the cathode(end with stripe)is connected to charge battery positive.Neon direction does not matter.I sent you a pm with build instructions.Go through it and you will see the problem with your coils.
The potentiometer is connected to a 24 gauge outside coil wire. My 1N4007 diode is connected to the positive on the secondary battery. Then the outside 20 gauge wire runs to negative on the secondary battery and on the positive on the primary battery
Nice video! Hi I have been trying to get the bedini motor to work, but the wheel just comes to a stop. My setup is 1N4001 diode is connected on the emitter to the base on the transistor. Then the base is connected to a 470 resister. Then resister is connected to the potentiometer.
Hi and sorry Johny, I was looking in the dictionary because Englisch is not my language. We say a pinset (dutch) bud in the dictionary is written "pincers" ore "forceps" used by a "chirurg" ? Its a handy tool for grabing and manupulating little things ! Its only a little tip !
@sheeptrik. AH Pincers Now that is a good tip and i will be looking in the pound shop for a pair.Inserting components into breadboards is not one of my strong points so any help and tips are most welcome.Thanks again.Jonny.
Hi, fine job and tutorial ! I only want to give You a tip. Its match more easy to use a pinset to puch Your wires in this holes. When I work with IC my fingers are match to big and it's getting even more wurse when You start to work with surface mounted bords. You even need almost a microscope !
Hi sheeptrik.I can't find any info on breadboard pinsets,just pre-made jumper wires.Is this what you mean?or are they used for mounting components with thicker legs?This would be very useful for me as you can see from the vid i struggle with this.Thankyou for your advice,it is much appreciated.Jonny
Thanks Stef .Breadboards make these kind of projects so much easier to do and are one of my favourite things along with chilli flavoured Dorito's :-) Jonny
Nice work jonny. I'm about to get mail off to you. I thought I'd wait until I got my last bulk delivery so I can throw in a 0-500pF variable forya, thought anyone can use an extra one! :)
Hi Kyle.Much appreciated.The 0-500pf cap is what Slayer uses on his exciter so it would be interesting to try it on this but don't spend to much on me as i know postage is expensive.Thanks.Jonny
life is great and really liked the build i was working on the same but looking for a stable oscillator first and do not see the point in double posting.
Hi Martin.Life is good and i am glad you liked it.If you are working on something similar,don't let this put you of posting your work as we all learn from each other and this is how things move on quickly.Thanks.Jonny
Hi alex681219 I have tried it with a torroid with 15T and 15T and also one with 15T and 35T but it would not create plasma and current draw was very high but try your torroid.if it has lots more winds.I think the reason why it works with the large 1:1 bifilar coil is the voltage on the trigger side is high due to the transformer action and it is this high voltage which is somehow involved in creating this strange plasma.
Much appreciation Johny for the very good explanation and build instructions. This is the kind of video I am always trying to find. Got to get out my wire and soldering iron now. Aloha

Good luck.

@jonnydavro I have a lot of them now, I got a better deal on them by buying 20. So it's no problem! I use one, too, on my new project, using 2-4v.

the 1:1 coil mus be air core? because I have a big joulethief coil with ferrite core.
Have you try this with this kind of coil?

You can put a ferrite rod inside the bifiar coil and this is very useful for adjusting the frequency.
