I have a Bedini motor built, single coil, bifilar 20awg/24awg aprox 850 winds each with a 1 inch core of painted metal coat hangers from a dry cleaners. I had it wired up with a lot of then cheap aligator clip connections and it worked but if stop the motor by hand, there is a buzzing or humming sound. Is that normal? Should I be shutting it off by breaking the circuit to the primary battery positive cable?
With the 12 volt batteries shown, I was drawing 160milliamps(ma) and the charging battery was averaging 75ma.
With an 18 volt drill battery I was drawing 160ma(average) and the charging side showed an average of 125ma. I then had a coil of 24 awg MAYBE about 400 winds (or 2-200's)with a bridge rectifier, running also to the charge battery that was giving me about 25 more miliamps.
I felt like I could add another coil, so I am going to do that for sure later. Also I can lose at least 1/4 of an inch of gap on this second coil to try and bump up its output.
My wheel has 8 sets of 3 ceramic rectangle magnets. One is in the channel of the rim, then 2 stacked on top perpendicular so the duration of the field is shorter when it passes the coil(s).
Thanks for letting me share, any feedback welcome.
