All of the talk about "cold electricity" is HORSE SHIT, pure and simple. There is NO SUCH THING as "cold electricity", that talk is all nonsensical garbage.
So the next time you see video or test postings on YouTube or anywhere else where they are mentioning "cold current" or "cold electricity", the fact is that they are completely wrong. Please take the word of your local electrical engineer or scientist. Rant off.
If you agree with what I just said, then good. The point is to have respect for what an education can give you. I have never built a pulse motor in my life, but I have the foundation that comes from studying to become an electrical engineer and I can apply that knowledge.
Let me just give you one point to think about: There are clips on YouTube about "cold electricity". I have had free-energy posters tell me that "engineers don't understand cold electricity".
Finally, an editorial comment. You know that I am an ex engineer and I have not picked up a scope probe in years. However, I hope that I have earned your respect. You see engineers dismissed as being "programmed by old textbooks" and unable to "see" what "wonderful technology" the free energy researchers are investigating. Correct me if I am wrong, but you have probably learned more about pulse motors and triggering circuits from me than all the other posters on YouTube combined.
Just a slight correction on the zero cross circuit. The EMF from the timing pick-up coil is typically the negative hump followed by the positive hump. Therefore the zero cross circuit is supposed to trigger on a LOW TO HIGH transition across zero volts.
The place to start would be to take a 555 timer, plug it into your breadboard, wire up the support components to configure it as a monostable multivibratior with an output pulse of one second. Connect your series resistor and LED to the output and start triggering it and see what happens. Try changing the resistor and capacitor values that determine the pulse with and see what happens. If you can do that successfully, then you are half done. The only remaining thing is the zero cross circuit.
If you keep all the wires neat on the breadboard (no trimpots dangling in free air with 6-inch wires going into the breadboard) then this circuit should be rock solid. It is way beyond putting a relay coil in series with the firing circuit and seeing what happens.
This would be difficult, but doable, for you if you are interested. It may seem intimidating but it will be rewarding in the end.
And then when the motor is running you kind of get a free scope. The strobe LEDs are lighting up the white lines on the rotor showing you exactly when the energizing coil is firing. As you turn the "delay" and "pulse length" trimpots you see the effect in real time on the top of the rotor due to the strobing LEDs. You basically have a scope showing you what's happening in real time. By turning the two trimpots with your screwdriver you will be able to position the firing on the sweet spot.
You hold a magnet in your hand and you pass it quickly across the top of the coil. Voila! You see the "delay" LED light up for one second followed by the "firing pulse length" LED light up for one second. That's it, you have done it. The only thing that remains to be done is to change the timing components so that the pulse lengths are much shorter for the Bedini motor and integrate it into the setup.
You can do all of this without a scope. You just use ordinary LEDs that light up when the monostable multibrators are triggered and go on. You simply use timing components (resistor and caps) that give you longer pulses for development purposes. Make each monostable multivibrator trigger on for one second and work with that.
You can imagine this: You have a coil sitting on your desk, and it is connected to the breadboard, with the two LEDs off and waiting.
Can't say I have heard of it but fair do's. Note taken lol.
