In advance I would like to say thanks, for all the helpful information that has been made available from John, Chuck, Peter and others.
I recently made a Bedini SG energizer (see image) using the basic plans outlined in the Basic SG Handbook, written by P. Lindemann and Aaron Murakami.I have experimented with smaller single coil versions, so I am familiar with the theory of operation.
I wanted to build one as close the original J. Bedini design as possible, so I followed the general directions for construction of the coil and circuit design without much deviation from the specifications outlined in the book. Or so I thought....
Review:
I have managed to run the device for a brief periods , but it seems to be burning out transistors after a few test runs. ( 35 - 60 seconds). Initially it did not sustain rotation , but I lowered the wheel closer to the coil and it worked.
Basic Operation:
I apply 12vdc to the INPUT , and a neon light glows and the device activates (there is a clunk). I spin the wheel and all seven lights begin to flash randomly and the wheel rotates , then the wheel slows and the device stops working. I doesn't activate when I apply power a second time. All seven of the the neon lamps are lighting, but seem very brite, so I must have the high voltage ( maybe too high) I used 24 ceramic block magnets 3/8 in x 7/8 in x 1 - 7/8 in. I believe these are acceptable.
Summary:
I replaced a few transistors and the device ran for a bit then stopped... After reviewing the book I realize, that I didn't follow the directions for starting the device, by connecting the OUTPUT to the battery first, so it might just be an operational error, but I wanted to get some advice before I proceed again. since transistors can get expensive. I really underestimated the the out put of this device.
