levitating one magnet no bearing Bedini motor

[MrFictionalReality]

Okay you sound like lie my friend  Richard lol

[KyleCarrington]

This is a beauty. Do you still use it jonny? How's the Charge? Or is it more of a "chick magnet" for the smart girls!!!!!!!

[jonnydavro]

Hi Kyle.I still have it but some of the magnets are on a pendulum at the moment.

Not really done much charging with this as my axle was not the straightest so high rpms was not really possible but I bullt this more as a magnetic bearing levitation test.Cheers.Jonny

[KyleCarrington]

@jonnydavro hehe right on. Now tell us about the girls. hehe

[jonnydavro]

HI.Kyle.There in the other room thinking what the hell is he doing now lol.

[333kgb]

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.

[jonnydavro]

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.Hope this helps and let me know how you get on.Jonny

[333kgb]

@jonnydavro Thanks alot! I tried what you said but the wheel still came to a stop. So I switched the battery cables and ended up blowing the 1N4007 diode. LOL im using drill bits for my core could that be the problem for the wheel stoping.

[jonnydavro]

@333kgb.Remove the core for now.Try removing your charge battery.Spin the rotor and can you tell me if the neon lights up?Have you got an amp meter in series with the positive of the run battery ?This is useful to see if the circuit is firing and also to see if there is a problem and you are drawing to much current.I will send you step by step instructions to build a bedini circuit if that would help.Jonny

[333kgb]

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.

Jonny:

Great motor,

How can i use Axially Magnetized magnet like this work?

Thanks, Keep up the great work

[scooterscottii]

I see why you have such a long armature now after making my mag lev motor myself. I have some cogging because the mags are too close. Do you have any ideas how I could shield the lev mags on my motor?

[jonnydavro]

Hi Scott.The best form of magnetic shielding is distance.I don't have any cogging as like you suspected,i have got distance between them and this also allows the option of adding more diametric magnets to the shaft for additional generation or rotation.If you want to stay with a compact version,i would have a look at "freemagneticenergy" vids as he has an interesting approach to shielding that may be suitable.Happy experimenting.Jonny.

[scooterscottii]

Jonny Thanks for the info. I'll check it out. Happy motoring.... Scott

[gatewurm]

Your clean build was the inspiration for constructing the levitating builds that I've made, (thanks jonnydarvo) only I used the flywheel with magnets from me Bedini SSG motor. I've had great success charging 12V batteries and high RPM's with one coil. I just completed winding a second coil that I'll add when the parts arrive in the mail. I was curious if you had tried other configurations with your build.

Thanks again,

gatewurm

[jonnydavro]

Hi gatewurm.I have tried other setups and i have added an extra magnet with a spacer to each lift magnet and the rotor lift magnets levitate in between the pairs of magnets and you can also add a mirror image of the lower lift magnets above the rotor and this will capture the rotor and allow you to move the motor vertically or however.Jonny

[gatewurm]

Thank you for that , I'm going to attempt a vertical build very soon. Have you tried this motor with the magnet on the end of the rotor (opposite the headstock) with the coil placed in line with the shaft horizontally so that it faces the end with the magnet? I'm very interested to know if that would cause the rotor to spin the way that a snake-egg magnet spins on the end of a coil.

Thanks, gatewurm

[jonnydavro]

Hi.I have not tried that and it would work but you would have to extend the rotor and get the end magnet away from the lift magnets as if you want to spin a magnet with both the magnet and coil on the same axis,you will have to use a diametrically magnetised magnet and if to close to the lift magnets there will be a problem.I would build it with the top and bottom magnets for containment and pulse from the side but may be try to repulse the rotor away from the headstocks witha magnet at each end

[clubcalichad20]

Nice work man

[jonnydavro]

Many thanks.Have a look at user skycollection take on this.Jonny.

[jonnydavro]

Hi efiredaddy.I tried that with the setup in the vid but the lift magnets on the axle were to close to the repeling magnet on the headstock and caused instability but you can aways lenghen the axle.I have done a bit more to this motor since this vid and further reduced preasure on the headstock by adding another magnet to each lift magnet but with a spacer inbetween so now the rotor lift magnets ride inbetween the base lift magnets.Have a look at skycollections motor.He has headstock mags.Jonny

[RamoneTalarico]

hook that to a motor, and have the motor spin it so fast it generates enough power to power the motor that spins it. And then run a compressor off it free energy!!!

IM KIDDING PEOPLE!!! honestly i laugh when i see comments like that.

great video, i love the quality construction of your project, i would love to build one!!!

[Dilekz]

Well a frictionless brushless motor would sound great!! But these magnets should be very strong to hold various forces that normal bearings do. But great experiment.

[fdoca]

5 stars alway...

Top notch contributor on youtube.

Keeping up the great work.

[jonnydavro]

Many thanks fdoca.Regards jonny

[fdoca]

Jonny... is possible to put few more magnets on the shaft with multi power coils? Enjoyed, Thank You

[mEtzG3rX]

and? can we use it in planes or what? i think no, so it's just useless

[mEtzG3rX]

this video a big fail, just like you

[mEtzG3rX]

so whats the big deal? operating with magnets? fail, this is not anti gravity, idiot

[megavox]

Just missing that 1 or 2 magnets for full frictionless levitation ~ great work, hats off.

[jonnydavro]

Thanks tubemp.

[jonnydavro]

Hi Bodkins.Thats the beauty of kitchen experimenting,you just don't know lol.Regards jonny.

[MoonSpyStudios]

Very cool Davro,,, I like it

[jonnydavro]

Thanks MoonSpy.Regards jonny.

[eroutt]

good job! i would stand back as soon as that thing levitates and picks up speed:(

[jonnydavro]

Hi eroutt.The levitation part of this motor is very stable and the centrifugal force of the rotor further stabilises it the faster it goes but the rotor needs to be ballanced for high rpm but as my rotor is from an old beach tent you may be right lol.Regards jonny.

[medi40]

What a Brilliant idea!. Pleasure to follow your experiments.

[jonnydavro]

Many thanks medi.Regards jonny.

[Pirate88179]

Jonny:

I really love this video! Wonderful idea. Possibly you could use a magnet with like poles on the headstock (as you mentioned) for repulsion but, mount the magnet on a fine threaded screw for really fine adjustments to get the perfect balance of repulsion. This is such a cool direction your research is going in. Great job.

Bill

[jonnydavro]

Hi Bill.Glad you like it and it is really easy to make.I think it shoud be possible to levitate the contact point either by repulsion or with someform of magnetic bearing and then if the rotor was ballanced it would be frictionless so a bit more work to do on this yet.Thanks for your suggestion.Kind Regards jonny.

[CosmicGnarler]

SICK!!!

[jonnydavro]

Cheers Cosmic.

[neuthral]

hi, you should check out the Rodin Coil video!

[jonnydavro]

Hi neuthral.I have been following what geminitric and others have been doing with the rodin coil and i hope to replicate some off their work and explore this monopole magnet that marko rodin shows but i agree, it needs looking at.Regards jonny.

[blackchisel97]

Excellent! Thank you for sharing.

[jonnydavro]

Thanks blackchisel97.Regards jonny.

[Lidmotor]

Excellent!

[jonnydavro]

Thanks Lid.This may also have an application as a low friction satellite and its pretty neat to look at too.Many thanks jonny.

[MAllen7424]

Nice!... Your gonna be one of the few to start a huge wave of magnetic bearing experiments and applications there of.

[jonnydavro]

Hi MAllen.If this inspires others to experiment,then that would be great.Many thanks. jonny.
