Bedini Solid State Oscillators

[sucahyo]

Mine 12 volts 35 Ah battery is rising upto 14.30 volts maximum. This happens within 2 hours, when I start the charging with starting voltage of 11.98 - 12.2 volts.

Never raise to something higher? Mine climb from 13V to 18V in first 10 minutes or so, then reduce to 12.5 before it start increase little by little.

I stop doing direct radiant charging now because I want to see how long a relay can last when used for cap dumping charging. Charging definitely much much slower than direct charging since the cap being dump to the battery in 2Hz frequency. 15 minutes passing and don't see an increase in voltage yet. voltage raised from 12.5V to 13V in 2.5 hour.

If I don't see voltage increase in two hour I will go back to direct radiant charging.


Maybe TIP122 is not a switching transistor so it won't give radiant output if driven with non sharp signal.

Hi folks, I'm having good results using the 555 timer pulsing a bifilar 18 gauge coil on laminate core and having good results reconditioning an old pack of panasonic 3000mah nimh cells of 14.4v. After 3 cycles, discharging at C/10, this battery pack I made for my electric plane a couple years back is almost at full capacity again. Whats interesting is with this bifilar coil the flyback diode which is a nte5817 rated at 6 amps, 1000volts was getting hot, so I put 2 in parallel and it helped dissipate the heat. Thing is the coil I was using before which was maybe 14 or 16 gauge wire and lower resistance and not bifilar, the diodes barely became warm as if the flyback was very small in output. I wonder if these bifilar coils really do pack more punch as Tesla said, it seems so.

Hi again folks, just wanted to share a thought I had. You know how some people have said pulsing 3 frequencies at slightly different phases may give anomalous results, well would a bifilar or trifilar match this. I mean the current has to be a little phase lagged as it comes through again and again past the other coil and if trifilar this may give us the slightly out of phase condition needed to give different effects. Tesla did say the bifilar coil gave way more voltage per turn and this phase offset may be why. Any thoughts appreciated.

transistors

Hi folks.
Each transistor type may have a different characteristics, different h21 thus, it may perform different. I believe John Bedini had plenty of time trying various ones, and from my experience with SSG I know that it makes a difference. Excessive heat from oscillating transistor is a sign of wasted energy. There is a different current flow in "static" and different in resonance.
Look at this circuit as sub circuits (blocks, etc.) connected together. Take your oscillating part with coil and run as SSG, charging off the collector (by diode of course). Observe IN current and measure potential across 1 Ohm resistor connected instead of charging battery. You can do this with rotor (you'll need to change 18k to 50 -500mA bulb and variable resistor in series. Also remove 10k and replace with diode, just like in SSG circuit.) If you ever built SSG before, tuning should be easy. With self oscillating coil however, you'll find a sweet region rather than narrow spot.
Next, try to remove diode and connect a bridge - try charging of the bridge. In such case, you'll be charging with single pulse. Capacitor's role is to be filled with spikes and dump them quickly onto the battery. What kind of spikes - that's oscillating part tuning. How many and how often dumped - that is depending on: capacitor value and 555 pulse (duty cycle and frequency).
4th part of the circuit is a switch, which can be mechanical, neon (high threshold), Darlington with two transistors (leakage), transistor and SCR, MOSFET. Optocoupler's job is to separate 555 from hv. part.
I think, potential measured across pulsing cap should be about 5V above battery ( between 19 -25V in case of large battery). However, I did notice large battery very "alive" at 0.9V only, and plates are changing color. I'm still playing with frequency and cap size. I believe it's not optimized yet but it will be

Hi SkyWatcher.

I wonder if these bifilar coils really do pack more punch as Tesla said, it seems so. I would say -definitely yes.
I think that whole trick with battery is to find her resonance. Either with single frequency or -what may be better with harmonics. I remember high school time experiments with resonance and shattered glasses in my parent's curio cabinet
Did you ever watch a video of Equilibrius Grid - John Depew?(check on youtube) Have you wonder how he manage to keep all those rotors spinning? BTW. there are no coils above, below or anywhere around. I have watched this tens of times and it's on my dream list to have this replicated. This is a perfect example of expanded EMF field (rather a bubble) by extracted harmonics of 416Hz. What do I know
Back to bench

Hi Blackchisel, thanks for reply. Yes maybe the impedance is closer matched with this bifilar coil and the panasonic nimh's and why more throughput at the diode. So does what I said about how a current front slightly out of phase passing the other wound coil in a bifilar make sense to you. I had the thought while laying in bed, so it may be close to the truth, just wondering what you folks thought about it.

You know how some people have said pulsing 3 frequencies at slightly different phases may give anomalous results, well would a bifilar or trifilar match this.

I think this can also be achieved using three 555 controling the transistor with the helo of diode. Each of the three frequency should be a number derived from odd or even number divider of some nature frequency. If the goal frequency is 40000. then three frequency may be 20000, 10000 and 5000. Off course the frequency can be uv light frequency and the divider can be thousands. Anyone has a methode for deriving the three frequency?


After some hour charging with capacitor dumping methode using circuit I post preciously, I have decided that I will not use capacitor dumping method. The reason:
- slightly heat up two nicad, sign of non radiant electricity.
- maybe the cause of fluffy charge in the 12V battery, the battery now show 12.37V at standby but drop to 6.5V when loaded, never happen before.
- rather noisy
- my capacitor is a normal 10000uF/50V capacitor, not special one like Tom Bearden mention.
- warning from John Bedini that battery may store voltage only some day and can not power something.

[SkyWatcher]

Hi folks, Hi sucahyo, thanks for reply. I think there may be something different with the way the nicads and nimh are charged by the radiant pulses because my nimh's get slightly warm whereas the lead acid has no heat detectable. I mean the flyback is the flyback, it is radiant no matter what, I mean when 1 watt or less on output can charge a 12volt-7AH SLA in less than 12 hours, what else could it be other than radiant and something else combined to charge that battery. In regard to the bifilar coil I said I was using now, irregardless of the fact it's bifilar, It has at least twice the mass of copper as the previous coil I was using and I think that may be the reason for better charging. We must remember Joseph Newman was blowing large diode packs on relatively low input power. So I think we should look at making the coils with more copper mass and try to keep close to the same resistance.

I think whenever there is heat detected from nicad or NiMH there is non radiant electricity being pushed. I think pure radiant will never heat up nicad or NiMH.

I experience heat when:
- using capacitor in paralel with the charged battery
- using capacitor dumping method
- using only one 3055 transistor

The speed of charging can not be used to measure the radiant quality because I have seen normal charger charge nicad in 2 minutes. As such when my one transistor circuit charge either nicad (1000mAh) or NIMH (2500mAh) in under 10 minutes but heating them up as well I don't consider the circuit output as radiant. It is said in battery manual that charging 1700mAh NiMH under an hour need 2600mA, while I certainly have about input current half of that and output current tenth of that.

If 1 watt input can charge nicad just as fast but heating them up, it bound to damage them sooner or later. But if it don't make them heat up, then that is the charger of my dream.

Agree about the bifilar, it should be compared with other coil with same static resistance/impedance.

[SkyWatcher]

Hi sucahyo, Well the nimh heat up a little bit only at very end of charge, but like I said this charger does not heat up the lead acid. So that is why I'm saying something a bit different may be happening inside nimh cells. And you can read as much as you like from Bedini and you will find any flyback event from a coil is radiant electricity, though I would say yes, the radiant form can vary as to its wave form and what have you. As Ed Gray with the light bulb under water. My point was though, that as Bedini and others have pointed out, 1 watt at the output cannot conventionally charge batteries at the rate these radiant chargers can, so that's why I'm confident in saying something different is occuring. Though different cell types may react differently than lead acid is all I'm pointing out.

Ok. I guess different current flowing trough because of different internal resistance allow cooler operation in lead acid. In my latest circuit the NiMH do not heat up at all after 1 hour with end voltage of 1.45V, with usable charge. Maybe because my body is warmer than the battery that I can't detect it.

[blackchisel97]

1 watt at the output cannot conventionally charge batteries at the rate these radiant chargers can, Definitely. To get bubbles in large battery like those I witness at 0.11A I would have to push with 6-8A from conventional charger. It would be nice to "soften" charge near the termination point to avoid heat in batteries - which is a killer.

Hi folks, thanks for replies. Yes blackchisel i was probably pushing it too hard at end charge, one other thing i rechecked was output and it seems with charging the nimh, that i was outputting way too much and had to set the input back to allow for the1 watt output and that should get rid of any heat. Sometimes its tricky to apply the 1 ohm resistor test and then put a different load on and it changes things with impedances. Anyway, that should explain why there was a little heat built up.

Hi SkyWatcher,

Since you mentioned impedance; I just charged two Energizer alkaline 6F22. I should say - one charged one failed. The one which failed is Energizer Industrial. Two others were successfully charged to 10.5V and stay at 9.9 after 1hr. However, Industrial behaved differently; Upon connecting voltage went up to 20 and kept going until I disconnected - at 37V. Just realized, that I never charged Industrial before. I guess some are not meant to be charged again. Word of caution - always wait at least few hours before putting them to any equipment, just in case they decide to pop

[SkyWatcher]

Hi blackchisel, thanks for info. Yes I have tried to charge primary cells also and have charged a few, but some pop or simply start oozing fluid out. I wonder if there is a way to modify these to withstand gentle recharging to get more cycles from them, like some kind of reinforcement to prevent the bursting effect.
