I have made a new Bedini machine. However I am experiencing some problems. I have shown a image of the circuit plans I followed along with images of the machine.
The problems I am having:
The magnets move when I connect the primary battery.
The coil seems to be attracting the magnets when the batteries are connected. So instead of kicking the magnets away and spinning the CD, it actually slows down the speed of the CD until it stops on the center of a magnet. When batteries are not connected the CD spins freely.
The coil is getting HOT!
It is not lighting up the LED light, although it seems to be minimally charging the charging battery with no spikes. The charging battery was spiking in voltage (like how it is supposed to). But then I changed the LED to a new one in hopes that the LED was just burnt out. But now the spikes are gone with just a slight charge to the charging battery.
Parts:
100kOhm Resistor
100K Potentiometer- Audio-Taper
2N3055 Transistor
IN4001 Diode
IN4007 Diode
120VAC Neon Lamp Assembly
Radio Shack Rectangle Ceramic Magnets
2 12V 7AH Lead Acid Batteries
I have checked all the connections.
Also I have the potentiometer hooked up with the coil wire into the left connection and the outgoing wire into the transistor on the far right connection. So the middle connection is not being used. Do I need to ground it it some way?
I am wondering if I have mixed up the magnet wire connections off of the coil. 25 Gauge and 30 gauge wire
Small wire:
From top of coil into potentiometer
From bottom of coil into the left-hand connection of transistor
Larger wire:
From top of coil into both Charging- and Primary+
From bottom of coil into top connection of transistor
Im probably missing something really obvious, or I have something horribly wrong. Either way, I havent been able to figure it out on my own and need some serious help. Thanks in advance for any info!
