Bedini Wheel - 7 Coiler - Plus Generator Setup

great job, how long does it run for?

[AdvancedMarijuana]

Any thoughts on involving a grid tie instead of the battery? You are getting about 170watts? Just faved the video

[MrAnguswangus]

@AdvancedMarijuana

I thought it was 3 watts (approx)...lol...I'm not an expert by any means...I have biology training.

I'm reconfiguring my wheel and hope to have an interesting vid soon :P

[SeedsOfFaith100]

where did the magnets come from? Where can I get some like those?

thanks.

[MrAnguswangus]

@SeedsOfFaith100

They come from microwave ovens (mwo). Each mwo has a magnetron inside that makes the microwaves. Each magnetron has 2 of those circular magnets in side. Prying the magnetron open can be tricky but a grinder and a vice always helps :)

Also, each mwo has a fan inside, which is where the pickup coils came from. Also, as a bonus, each mwo has an AC capacitor and transformer. People throw mwos away or sell them at yard sales very cheap. Good luck.

i like the little rotor on the back man.. seems to be getting great generation. the field those magnets create extends alot farther that i thought at first.

technically the more coils u add to it the more the draw will go down right?

i bet if u pulsed the AC leads on the rectifier quickly with something the cap would charge to 200 almost instantly.

I guess you have a circuit per coil, the tank with biogas was to somehow combine this with magnets. hope to try some this week if I get any flammable gas. Polar bears are probably in Finland over the summer drinking and draw strength from Koskenkorva ...

[FREEGARYMCKINNON]

very good indeed. i love the brushless generator thats lovely stuff.

[harpbloke]

very cool build. great stuff.

its funny how the animals always pop in for a look when people are filming.

[MrAnguswangus]

@harpbloke

Yes, they always make a cameo. It's funny because most of the day I'm standing there talking to the wheel anyway, so it's not like it's something new to him.

When you finish off your generator coil setup you might want to check out the web site overunityresearch. In the Bedini section there is a thread called "Bedini SSG Measurements."

For example for your pick-up coils the simplest test would be to connect a resistor across the output and measure the AC voltage with a true-RMS multimeter. By trying different resistor values you will measure different power levels. Just to give you a sense of how much you can generate.

[User2718218]

(2nd) When you think about the simple test it is just like how a toaster works; AC mains power directly connected to a load resistor.

Of course you want to use your pick-up coils to charge a battery. In this case only the peaks of the sine waves are high enough in voltage to pump current into your gen coil charging battery. That's a bit trickier to measure because the current is pulsing in this case.

Great job.

Very creative, looking forward to your results. I recommend cutting the dowl shorter on the opposite side of your generator, just past your bearing . The wobbling will cause balancing issues which in turn affect rpm's. I have noticed from my experiment lab, the shorter the shaft the easier it is to balance. I had to resolve my balance issues with a found harmonic balancer on a highway because of the length of my rotor (shaft). I was reluctant to cut my only piece of carbon steel.

hello I follow your work with great delight, I myself have had to work all summer without getting anything done here at home. but I have started to look a bit on biogas, a small digester is put together and some kind of gas filling the clock, but not a burn. weeks that will seem a bit calmer so maybe I can have enough time to do some good ...

[MrAnguswangus]

@oglundasotarn Hello brother...good to hear from you. I was beginning to think that the polar bear got you. Biogas sounds like a good idea...better than these damn magnets...lol.

[PoirierMike]

I like it!

[PatriotTex]

Great job! I look forward to seeing your other videos!

[Rawbush]

Impressive, carious to see the generator finished. You might be on to something here. Peace rawbush

[MrAnguswangus]

@Rawbush

Thanks Rawbush. I must say that some of this idea comes from an Alaskan guy...Chris Hunter...also Ed as always :P

I'm going to leave a link to an article about Chris Hunter in the video info box. His coils/cores are basically doing the same thing except that he uses 2 magnets per coil/core. Probably another vid tomorrow too.

Take'er easy man.

[nja2015]

the pickup coils are interesting.. I like to to see the output amps go through a rheostat and charging a battery...

[MrAnguswangus]

@nja2015 Good idea for charging. A cool thing about the pickup coils is that when I was lining up the first one I noticed that when the magnet is directly centered between the core poles, there is no attraction to either core pole...it is equal. There is NO cogging without a load. Unlike a conventional core which coggs the wheel even when not loaded. Very interesting indeed.

[nja2015]

@MrAnguswangus

Even getting a current of over 0.30A from no apparent cogging is something I cant wait to see !
