Greetings from Maine

Hello everyone. I am new on this forum and just received the go ahead to post, so here goes: My main interest in joining this forum is to research alternative energy ideas. I have a good background in mechanics, machine tools, and electronics, and am looking at various ways that I might heat and power my home without use of fossil fuels. I have already read many of the alternative energy forum posts that you have here, and with great interest. Several of the other listed categories are also tempting me to explore further. I think I am going to like it here, and I hope to interact with some of you folks, through the forum threads, in a spirit of exploration and cooperation. Thank you for taking the time to read this, and for welcoming me into your group.

Hi Rickoff
I am in Norway and like you I am a beginner. How can we help each other

Thanks for the nice welcome, Aaron. Your posts have been of special interest to me, as I find that you are very knowledgeable on the subject of Bedini motors. I was just looking at some great construction photos at New Page 2
and a few questions come to mind that perhaps you can shed some light upon. The last photo in this series shows a completed 6 coil unit, which I assume was the forerunner test design for the 12 coil unit shown at the left side of the workbench in photo #2. I am wondering why it was decided to reduce the number of coils, radially, from 6 to 4 on the 12 coil model. Was that done to increase the circumferal spacing of the magnets from 2.4" to 3.96", which would appear to be in the optimal range? (I am assuming the magnets are 3/4" width on both models, and that the the number of coils matches the number of magnet positions in the rotor of both models.)

In the above post, and based upon 3/4" magnet width, the 2.4" spacing between magnets of the 6 coil radial arrangement would be equal to a spacing of 3.2 times the magnet width, which falls at the low end of the optimal spacing range. The 3.96" spacing of the 4 radial coil (x3) unit increases the spacing to about 5.3 times the magnet width, which is at the high end of the optimal spacing range, from what I understand. It seems reasonable to assume that John would not have gone ahead with the increased spacing design for the 12 coil unit unless he felt certain that the increased spacing would result in greater efficiency. Do you know if the results actually proved the assumption as correct? I don't know if this is the right place to be discussing the subject at hand, and you are more than welcome to move (or suggest a move) of this thread to a different location within the forums. Thanks

Hello Ahimsa,

Thanks for the warm welcome. Are you an alternative energy researcher, or do you have other interests at the energeticforums site?

Hello Blowback,

Thanks for your reply. As stated in my first post, I am determined to construct a device capable of producing and maintaining enough output to provide full electrical power and heat for my home. I am currently exploring the possibility of doing this solely with Bedini circuits and battery banks, although I may also supplement the output with wind and solar generated power adaptations, and Hydrogen. What are you interested in achieving?

Hi Rickoff!

I am one of the founders of Energetic Science Ministries and am interested in everything on this forum!

We created this Forum to be a resource for all kinds of alternative methodologies and are so happy to have an abundance of brilliant and conscious beings with us on this journey!
