7 circuit Bedini SG

Reversing the trigger winding didnt change anything. I can tell if the system is self oscillating or if the trigger isnt triggering. I can post a video in a little bit if that would help.

unhook all the circuits but one, get it running on one circuit, then add, it is easy to diagnose one circuit.

I will reverse the trigger winding. Yes, i did strip the ends. I tested the resistance through the power and trigger windings, and that seems functional. I am going to change where the trigger windings are attacbhed to my circuit. Thanks.

The diagram I used is in the bedini handbook. I will attatch a picture of the diagram. I am not completly sure that I read the diagram correctly, but I am pretty sure. Some of the pictures above should show you if I have followed the diagram or made a mistake somewhere. I used all the recomended parts. Again, I dont have extensive experience reading schematics, but I am teaching myself to do so, with the help of wise folks like you.

reverse the trigger winding see if that
fixes it, I assume you stripped the enamel off of all the wire ends before you soldered.

Hello fellow Bedinians. I have just finished constructing a Bedini SG with 1 coil, 7 power windings and 1 trigger winding. I built 7 circuits to run the system. When I fired it up for the first time, it didnt opperate. When I connect power, the coil attracts the magnets, but when I give it a spin, it doesnt start the magic. I tried switching my +and- leads to the battery but that only made my coil hot. I couldnt get the neon bulbs to illuminate when i disconnect the secondary battery either. I am a begginer at reading circuitry schematics, but I am pretty sure I got it all hooked up right. Im not sure if my trigger wires are hooked up to the right place. If you look at the attached pictures, the windings from the bottom of my coil go to the collectors of my transistors, and the trigger goes to the - of my primary battery. The 7 power windings from the top of the coil go to the - of my seconday, and the trigger goes to the capaciters. Neon is connected to the collector and emmiter. Im not sure if one set of the diodes are going the right direction. Hopefully my pictures can help answer any of your questions. I really want to get this one going. I built a single bifoiler coil before with one circuit, so this is the most complex that I have built.Thanks for your help.
