John Bedini's Low Drag Generator
Dear Everybody,
The design and analysis of John Bedini's Low Drag Generator is fully disclosed in Bedini SG - The Complete Advanced Handbook published in November of 2014. Chapter 5 is titled Understanding Lenz's Law and chapter 6 is titled The Simple Low Drag Generator. If you have not read this material yet, you have not taken advantage of a valuable resource.
When electric current is INDUCED by the action of a moving magnetic field, Lenz's Law always appears as a mechanical force or an inversely proportional voltage. The important question is: Where does this force appear in your machine?
When appearing as a mechanical force, there are 4 possible actions that this force can exhibit: 1) it can act as a motoring force directed against the direction of rotation [standard designs], 2) it can act as a motoring force directed to support the direction of rotation [advanced self-rotation generators], 3) it can be applied perpendicular to the direction of rotation and therefore have little or no effect on the motion of the machine [John Bedini's early designs], and 4) it can be a constrained force between two non-moving parts and therefore have little or no effect on the motion of the machine [future possibilities].
The point is, if you are inducing electric current to appear due to a moving magnetic field, this force WILL show up. However, whether that force works against you, works for you, or does nothing, is determined by the design geometry of the machine.
Best regards,
Peter
