My Understanding of the Bedini Circuit and Timing

[llorencaguiar]

I hope you can answer a few of my questions:

Are potentiometer and a neonbulb used on the circuit?

If yes, where do you put it?

The second coil seems to only have two wires connecting it in the schematic- since it is a bifilar wrap, wouldn't it require four wires? (like the first coil)

@llorencaguiar - Hey llorencaguir...the potnetiometer is only used during tuning and goes where the 200ohm resistor is. When I measured it...the resistance was roughly 200ohms. The neon bulb is just used as a visual aid for tuning...I prefer to use an O'Scope. It would connect to the Collector and Emitter of the Transistor. If a Bifialr Coil is used for the secondary Coil...just connect the 2 outer wires together and the 2 inner together. This would put the 2 Bifilar in Parallel to act as 1 Coil

What is the difference between making a coil with parallel wires, or twisiting them (on a bifilar wrap)?

[Americankettler]

@usedbandage9 - I think its pretty much the same thing. I've heard that by twisting the wires as you wrap them...it makes for a more efficient coil. (I've never twisted them myself so I'm not sure.) I have done a Trifilar coil...3 wires wrapped around the coil. 2 of the wires I ran in parallel with each other, the 3'rd I used as the trigger line. Made for an excellent coil for the Bedini Circuit.

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 does it matter which way I put the neon bulb? And is there any problems you see in this hookup? I noticed when I put a drill bit in the coil it shoots it out and my core is made of drill bits. Thanks for you help!

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 Dave I am not sure if youtube posted my response? IF not . I think your on the mark. Have your tried a 3rd winding for a generator, very interesting I use trimmers to find the sweet spot every time,because my coils are a far from being equal, peace to yall

[Americankettler]

@allclear7- Thanks...Great to hear. I haven't tried a Trifilar yet...maybe on the next build. (I think that would be interesting). I also used a variable to find the sweet spots...then measure and put in a resistance that is close to it. I've been using the same wire, and pretty much the same # of windings on my coils so far. (650ish)- I have an un-used coil right now...thinking of a fun type project to do with it. Thanks again!
