80V spikes at 1 1/2 milla seconds ( the setting of one on the scope ) I am still learning how to use the scope correctly.
It seems from looking at the r-charge site they do about 16 cycles to get the energy up to full amount for load. Perhaps that is what I am missing... but to compare a test that I had done before with the battery it seems it is getting worse for wear, not better. What I am missing from the book is the input voltage and the time range to get the desired result of charging two batteries at once that will handle a load.
1.5ms should be ok , its 0.665khz. Maybe your coil is too big and didnt get the time to build a strong field ? (just a idea). Try to set the frequency under 400hz if you want to test my idea, the result should be better at lower frequency.

You may have a point there, my coil is 20 gauge wire, and it is a full spool 3 twisted pairs.
Think I will order some guage recommended by the book, but I don't know how much to order for 350 turns? How many feet is that?
I replaced both the opto, and the 555 timer, and I learned a couple of tricks.
Put a nite light to the capacitor, this helps to diminish the 100V + charge that is stored there. I don't like discharging that the hard way ! This also allows you to see visually the amount of electricity the circuit is outputing.
I swapped the coil for the 450 turn one, and after getting this, it is now staying at 25-27 V in the cap over the charge battery. It seems to be doing MUCH better. I believe I had miss wired my 555 timer before because I had the pin numbering wrong. ( So much fun remembering the order of the pins when you turn it upside down ) I ended up making a diagrahm of both the pins up right and upside down which help me sort out the pin much easier.
Charging up another battery now, look forward to see if the load tests does any better.

Hi Mart,
Whats the volt rating of your cap ? im scared a bit to try the 555 setup, i have some 60v 30000uf but i dont know what can happen if hooked to the SS SSG with more than 200V spike.

500V 330 Uf, the one specified in the book.
I believe I now have the exact Bedini setup, may need tuned now.

as long as you start with rather fast cap dumping (around every second) a 30,000uf 60v cap shouldn't be in any danger from a standard sized SSG.
but as a precaution just in case the cap pulser isn't working properly you can put a neon across the terminals and it should prevent the cap getting dangerously over 60v. I have had 40,000uf caps rated at 60v "accidentally" charge over a hundred and they stayed in one peice. Though I can't gaurentee that every capacitor can withstand being charged so high over their rated voltage.
To begin with, try putting a bulb in series with the charging battery just to be sure it is pulsing and carefully watch the voltage! With 30,00uf you should have plenty of time to react if it is obvious that the pulser is not operating.

Thank Sephiroth for your advice. I have a 6.5KV 0.25uF Laser pulse cap, should it be better or higher capacitance cap is better ?

I have a nice question, When the SSG send directly the radiant to the battery, the battery will transform it to usuable energy(by getting it from the vacuum) . With a capacitor setup, the radiant spike is sent to the cap and then the battery.
My question is, What is inside the capacitor ?
if we see for exemple 16 volt on a 30000uf cap before it dump it to the battery, that mean there 3.84 joules sent to the battery.
There's radiant in the cap or its transformed already in usuable energy by the capacitor? if he is already transfomed that mean we only have to feed a cap at 16v and dump at X Frequency to get the same effect?
How long did you leave the battery to rest before doing the load tests?
How high were you charging the cap above the charging voltage?

How high were you charging the cap above the charging voltage?
I left the battery on for over 12 hours on the newly configured solid state charger. Input of 12V at .8 amp. for charge.
Then it rested for about 6 hours. Since I wanted to do a test in the morning I then again put it on the SS charge at 8V at .5 amp for 12 hours so it was at 15.34 in the morning I ran the load test.
The charge in the cap is 25V. Not optimal for fastest charge, but should be enough to give me punch out of the battery I would think.
I am now charging the battery again with my ssg with neo's to get another idea of where the battery is.
Do you have any larger caps you can substitute your 330uf for?

I don't, but I will be VERY VERY ticked if the cap specified by the book is the wrong one! I was told not to modify any of the circuits of the book. that they work as is!
