try reversing the trigger coil connections

@TheJsn007 Hi Jsn, The coil is 4.5inches long on 1/2 inch pvc tube with 550 turns of bifilar exactly sure on what the gauge of the wire is but some where between 14-24 gauge wire respectively would be a fair guess.

great videos, but you need to clean up you work site because stuff lying around with high voltage is dangerous

@geraldscott95 Hi Scott my shed is clean ( for a shed), thanks for your concern, when working with HV I always make a tidy space to work in I am more than capable with high voltage work. I like most do let things get a little untidy from time to time but they get cleaned up most of the mess recently has been due the to massive donations of TVs I got given. Also the Bedini has no unsafe HV in it at this stage, when I add a few more coils to it I will have it set up in it's own space.

Hi, Do you have the emitter to the base diode (1n4001) connected the right way round, & the wires from the coil ?
If it is connected the right way round then i`m sorry to say but u`ve fried your transistor : (
if at any moment the neon light did flash, then the TIP3055 transistor is toast
Try one of the higher voltage npn transistors in the tv that you were taking apart
I`ve fried so many tip3055 transistors i`ve lost count now lol. I tend to use higher voltage transistors now

@benz247 Thanks Benz, I have the diode wired right, it's from the Base of the transistor to the cathode of the didode, the neon has never flashed that I have seen, I swaped out the tranny like you suggested but that did nothing, I tried several of them only 1 managed to move the wheel, also I tested the 3055 it's fine.

I havnt had time to play with the bedini circuit myself, but I think the problem comes down to your magnet gap vrs the return feed output (the amount of juice required to keep the window gap to a minimum). A quick suggestion would be to add more magnets reducing your frame window on your rotor. Just some thoughts, and I may be completely off.

@bugs181 I had started with 7 magents and slowly reduced it to 4, I had read on TEEP that it could be made with 1 magnet, some speak of a "2 thumb" rule where by the gaps between the magnets should not be any less than "2 thumbs" apart. I am just hoping I do not have to rebuild my coil, which sadly is what I think the problem is :(
