First HDD Bedini motor

I've finished building my solar panel, so I needed a new project. I've started playing with the bedini circuit and quickly put together something to see if I can at least get the motor spinning.

It seems to be working ok, not very high rpm, but ok for a first try.

I'm planning on cleaning the whole thing up a bit and then make some videos on how I put it together and show some of the results I'm getting.

did u attached magnets to the hard disk plate? if yes how:? sorry i am noob...

@WrongBirthday, yip, I originally just used superglue, but it spins to fast and they come loose at some serious speed, I changed to using superglue to get them in place and then add some epoxy all around the magnet at the base where it touches the disk plate. I used a 4 magnet and 8 magnet configuration, just make sure they all have one on the opposite site of the disk, and that they all face with the north pole to the outside.

could you please post the link to the website you were talking about where you got the plans?

@ignaheyns, search for the channel "introvertabrate" and check his uploads, he's also got some other good bedini vids

@Mozia777 Hmmmm, maybe i was caught unaware of some things that needs to be disconnected then, although i had it detached always after testing. I'll try to make another coil , fully charge the batteries and test one more time. Tnks

@09205479428, sounds funny, only thing I can think is that you didn't disconnect the wires from the batteries when not using it. Sometimes those coils can go into a self oscillating state and use the bats, but then I'd still expect the one to rise in voltage and the other to drop. 1900 turns is quite a bit, If I remember correctly bedini recommended something like 450 or 650, but I've seen guys go higher 800 and so which gave lots of speed as the magnet you create get's stronger.

@Mozia777 Tnks for the reply. I had it running already. I got a question though, at first the volatge detection are high... 12 volts and 12.36 volts, then i switched ut off. After a few days i had it running again but the voltages for the battery drop to 11.86 volts.. till then it kept lowering making the motor not run anymore. Had you made similar observation ? If not, i guess i had it wrong somewhere. I suspect my coil having 1,900 turns.

@09205479428, I've got the circuit diagram up in a follow up video, but you can also search for introvertabrate's channel, he's got a nice diagram showing the flow of energy.

The 4 magnets were placed opposite each other all facing with north to the outside

Hi there... i have thesame set-up but i'm having trouble running it. Can you show us your circuit diagram ? Also, how did you orient 4 magnets ? Tnks in advance, looking forward to your reply.

@Jamieduk999, check out introvertebrate's channel, one of his uploads is understanding the bedinini circuit which gives a really nice animated flow of the current through the circuit.
