My first report.

[George]

My first report for this group.
I first found JB’S group about 12 months ago and then this current group which i joined during July. Many thanks to John Bedini, Peter Linderman the administrators and others for the knowledge given freely to the group.
I have made the SG unit using information from JB’S videos, books and help from the group. Have used a 16’’ stainless steel wheel and the standard 2 wire coil to the standard specifications, then a 5 wire twisted coil giving better performance.
I purchased Ricks 3 Pole monopole kit some time back and the extra 6 magnet kit with the recessed rotor and Neo magnets to fit, which reports indicate that they are not suitable. The 6 pole kit spins at around 4k but had to bypass the 220 ohm resistor to do this.
I presume that the Neos are the reason for the loss of power?

I would appreciate some help with more details of Stair Step Charging as on disk 28, has anyone got this to work? Have not found the source in Aust. for a replacement for the 6 small Neo’s. Are they available??

Have just opened up the Bedini SG Beginners Handbook a magnificent presentation with good explanations of the circuit operation.
Interesting to find that a steel bike wheel is ok.
George.

Howdy George. The original unit that the 3 pole kit was inspired by used Samarium Cobalt (SmCo) magnets, not neos. There is a whole thread about replacement magnets for that kit here: http://www.energyscienceforum.com/be...t-magnets.html

I used the SmCo magnets in my 6 pole rotor with that kit with great success. The SmCO magnets do not saturate the coil core material, so you get better switching. These magnets are available here: cPath_3_27 | products_id_251 | SmCo Magnets 3/8 in x 1/8 in Disc Samarium Cobalt Magnet - Applied Magnets & WindMax Wind Turbines


There is also a thread about my experiments with the 6 pole unit here: http://www.energyscienceforum.com/be...-charging.html

Have fun! It's a great little unit to experiment with. Lots to learn from it!

Hello Woody. Thanks for your reply greatly appreciated. Good to hear of your success gives me more motivation to keep on with the project.
will present a progress report later on. George.
