Hi everyone. Greetings from 
Australia
When I was at school, a long time ago, I asked my chem teacher why electrons are displaying "perpetual motion" by buzzing around the nucleus without ever getting tired or loosing energy, and, if they are getting energy, where are they getting it from, and in what form. Predictably the answer was unsatisfactory and this started me studying physics and chemistry.
This is my first time on this forum and I would like to hear from anyone who has replicated the Bedini Radiant Charger using a SCR from circuit in FEG on page 96 (2nd Ed.). I built the circuit, wound the coil (4.3 ohms per strand), had a retired electronic technician check it out for any faults which were corrected. The switching current was 700 milliamps rather than the 200 ma stated on page 162. The BD243C got extremely hot even with a medium size heatsink and wobbling it made the transistor jump from 700ma to 2.1 amps, so I suspect a faulty transistor. Output (charging) voltage was 15.2 volts. As there were no specifications for the coil I left it as an air coil and I had no core material anyway.
