Simple Bedini 11.4V in 104V out!!!
Hey everyone, It seems that Ive stumbled on something amazing!!
I have a simple Bedini SG with a 4-pole rotor mounted on a CD on a hard drive platter (5 wal-mart ceramic magnets + 1 N48 1/2"x3/8" cylinder mag behind per pole), running with a 2n3055, 100ohm resistor, 1k cermet pot, 1n914 (instead of 1n4001), GP15M (instead of 1n4007), 6.8k ohm resistor on the neon, and a 100WV 2.7MFD Bi-polar cap across the charge batt terminals --- running off of a 10.8V 95wH laptop battery (started at 12.10V, holding 11.4V on load) and charging a "fried" 19.2V NiMH craftsman drill battery. Nothing too special, except that it is outputting 104V-106V to the charge battery when I put my Fluke 87III true RMS multimeter on the battery terminals.... oh, and it is lighting up the neon a little.... I took out the cap and it doesn't seem to matter at all. I was charging a 12V scooter battery on a 33ohm resistor at first, an it maxed out the charge and started dropping, so I decided I would try to restore one of the old drill batteries... I fiddled around a bit because my resistor was getting hot, and decided to put in a 100ohm. That's when the magic happened. I had a 4.7k ohm resistor on the neon, and it was lighting up so i decided to put in a 6.8k to make sure I get as much of the flyback as possible without frying the transistor. IT IS STILL LIGHTING UP JUST AS BRIGHT!! Does anyone have a clue about what is going on?? I'm simply amazed... I don't know if what I stumbled on is some sort of breakthrough, or if I'm missing something big here. Any ideas??
Oh, all the magnets are North pole facing out.
