Mechanical Switching

[Faraday88]

I'm building it according to Bedini's old mechanical commutator drawings.
While there are 24 segments on the commutator several of these will be soldered together to allow for maximum attraction time.
More or less can be soldered to allow for tuning.
The commutators themselves are held in place by an end nut which is variable too.
The brushes will be mounted to 6mm PVC in a geared mount for tuning while running.

"There is another type of controller I must make known, and it is the simplest of all. With three brushes and a commutator, you can do away with all the electronics and handle 100 times the power back to the battery. The simplest method would be a split commutator, of which a little less than 180 degrees would be copper. (see figure 12 Free Energy Generation.)"

Allowing for two magnets in the commutator I will use a maximum of 12 segments per magnet.

Hi Deius,

I was wondering how you can replace a Transistor/Trigger sytem to simulate the SSG?? untill i read this perticular post and you are right it is suitable for that 1984 John Bedini machine...but mind you it is a different machine from the SSG mode...remember Bedini's website saying.... the Motor(dc. torque motor and not SSG) was the ineffeicent part of the system and hence he came up with the SSG that we know today, what you are trying to do here is suitable for the Tesla Switching mechnism which is essentially a Cap dump mode of late i have conceived with the idea of having both the 1984 and SSG together to make the Untimate Bedini machine!!! any way your workmanship is a beauty here...keep it up friend!
Best Regards,
Faraday88.

2 X 18ga coils and coil holders milled into place. (10 coiler now becomes an 8 coiler, sorry john!)

Nooo! Not the 10 coiler

just kidding JD, all in the name of science mate

New rotor machined from billet, ready for slotting larger and longer magnets. (4 of 25mm X 25mm X 150mm).
Longer 17mm shaft to allow for 4 commutators if necessary.
Bearings blocks moved to new locations.
2 of 4 coils mounted.

Let the pictures do the talking.

Looking fantastic!

Really nice work!! pleasure seeing what you are doing... I really like the coil holders, simple and elegant. excellent solution.

That looks great! You should see some nice spikes with the commutator switching.

Nice work JD! Are they coils I wound?

Bedini's mechanical replication bought to you by the following sponsors.

Koorn's hand built coils. "you've seen nothing until you've had john's hands on your coil".

Haha! Ain't that the truth?

One side of the billet rotor is now slotted.
two 25 X 25 X 150mm ceramics waiting to be pushed in.

Your so modest about your work man,, it looks incredible!

So any idea when you will start assembling this beauty?

Hi Bob,

I'm not modest, I just work around some guys who are amazing.
I'm not a machinist by trade, just an amateur in the back yard burning bits till he knows better.
I have a four year old and an 11week old that are devouring my life at the moment.
There isn't a whole lot to go.
I couldn't find a gearing system for my commutator cards so they are finished.
The big rotor is about 3hours more work.
A bit of wiring and some hold downs for the coils maybe 20hrs to go?
Since this project I've been contemplating things.
Peter Lindemann suggested the biggest wheels are always the best so if this works out I have some racing wheels I'm keen on transforming too.
Hit me with any thoughts you have.

Oh and good tools make any fool look great.

This bad boys out of the rotary table.
Tried to push the magnets in but its a bit tight.
need to shave .1mm off the sides.

[Deuis]

It turns out the slots were spot on, it was the magnets that were bent!
The magnets red side is north, peculiar to see where the magnet lines up.
