Hello all,
I've been researching the Bedini stuff for years now, but due to my limited experience/knowledge of electronics any attempts at replications have failed rather miserably. The question I've been pondering is: Can you charge and discharge a single-wire-wound inductor in such a way that in charging all of the energy from the battery is sent into the coil, and on discharging all of the energy is diverted through a different path into a battery or capacitor? I know that I can use diodes to ensure that none of the energy is transmitted back into the battery being used to power the circuit, but I can't seem to think of a way to ensure that the energy from the battery goes only into the coil without being sent to both the coil and the capacitor that will capture the backspike. The traditional approach would be to use a 2nd wire to capture the collapsing magnetic field and send it to the battery/capacitor for charging, but I was hoping to find a way to manage this with only a single wire. Any thoughts?
