Wire Gauge to use
Hi all.
I am a first time builder of the SSG Bedini Motor. I have read much of this post, and have viewed a 2 hour video with Bedini and Berton ( a documentary). I have build the mechanical mechanism of the machine, and now am moving into the electrical aspects of it.
I have a quick question about Wire gauge for the coil.
I have seen gauge 23 and 26 used in bifilar configuration used and also
I have seen gauge 20 and 23 used in bifilar configuration used for these motors.
I understand from a previous post that depending on the battery capacity used, it might be prudent to go with a thicker wire for larger batteries and also that it is important to keep with the C20 or higher energizing side of the circuit (within the video John stated this over and over again).
What should I do for my first coil? 20 and 23 gauge or 23 and 26 gauge? My batteries will be smaller type 12V and about 1.3 Ahr (I can use larger ones if someone suggests that to me). I just thought that charging and discharging a smaller capacity battery would speed up the scientific investigation.
Best regards,
