If, like so many, you believe that the Bedini SSG is an over-unity
device then it is not. John Bedini has emphasized this very point on
many occasions. (We too were confused by the diversity of claims in
this regard !)
We came across the following extract from an article on how to
construct a Bedini SSG and it makes it very clear what it actually is :

It must be emphasized that the Bedini Trifilar SG or SSG are not
over unity (OU) systems. They are only one-to-one energy shuttle
systems. They use one charged input battery to charge 4 or more
output batteries. When set up properly, one pays for 1 and one gets

the input back and three or more others for free.
The energizers are never going to show OU themselves...!!! The
OU shows up in the batteries energy capacity. They last longer and
take less time to charge - until they get to the point of getting 4 or
more charges for the price of one!! The sooner EVERYONE
understands that, the better.
This important fact needs to be understood by anyone embarking on
this project. The expectation that it (the energizer) is an over-unity
device has led to some misunderstandings previously.
John B. designed the Trifilar SG with the Capacitor Pulser and SSG
variants as proof of concept to demonstrate and prove his method
of capturing radiant energy and get the world to understand that it is
the high potential, almost currentless pulses that the different
variations of energizer put out, that causes what happens within the
charged batteries.
This is very important. This is where the radiant energy manifests
itself, and what conditions the batteries.
The process that occurs in these batteries is referred to as
conditioning. Once conditioned, the batteries last longer and take less
time to charge, etc... Other benefits are that they will not wear out
by sulfate buildup that usually occurs with standard DC charged
batteries. They do not suffer from the depletion of water by
evaporation from heat, generated by the charging process the way
conventionally charged batteries do.

So again we reiterate that the Bedini Motor is not an over-unity
device - it is in fact a mechanical lead-acid battery desulphator ! It
does not violate any laws of physics - in our opinion it does violate
several other laws including commonsense and it can seriously
damage your bank balance ! (Ref. : Desulphators)

Bedini Motor experimenter who needs to measure the extracted BEMF
power. The waveform is a representation of the transistor collector
voltage.
If a `simple / cheap digital meter is used to measure the voltage,
such as our unbranded NC72CG, it will measure, not the average but
somewhere around the peak voltage - maybe 60 volts or more.
Whereas, an analogue voltmeter, like the AVO 8, will read around 15-
20 volts; not because of any inbuilt averaging function but purely
because of the ballistic response of the meter movement.
Which is correct ? It depends on the definition of voltage in this case.
The peak voltage is 70 volts, so our cheap meter displays a more
accurate estimate of peak volts than the AVO 8.
For the battery charging enthusiasts, the ultimate question is How
much power is available ?. Hence neither meter is capable of
displaying a correct value of average voltage to permit us to measure
power. Even if we could measure the average voltage by integrating
the waveform, there remains another measurement - the current.
Again, the same problems exist; we need the average current
measurement. And another significant problem is that of the phase
relationship between the voltage and current - we can not assume
that Watts = Volts * Amps (even p = v * i * cos() is a gross
oversimplification - Ref. : Power Factor).
In some respects, John Bedinis approach might be considered
correct. One way to determine power output is to accumulate the
power in some form of storage device. The choice of a lead acid
battery for this purpose seems to be a particularly bad one !
Office website.
pdfcrowd.com open in browser PRO version Are you a developer? Try out the HTML to PDF API
Why choose such a complex storage device ? It is well known that a
lead acid battery will react to high voltage pulses and there are so
many other electrical, chemical, thermal and mechanical variables and
complexities associated with all batteries that only serve to confuse
and dumbfound everyone.
(You cant measure urine volume by pissing in the ocean and
measuring the rise in sea level ! You can if you piss in a pot !)
As some have already tried, a capacitor can provide a much more
reliable reference - we can determine the charge of a capacitor and,
knowing the charge time, we can approximate power. (Care must be
taken not to exceed the capacitors peak voltage rating.)
The real solution to determining power
availability in these situations is to heat up a
resistor and measure its temperature. Such
measurement instruments are based on
calibrated thermocouples - often simply referred
to as `true RMS voltmeters or powermeters.
Agilent Technologies (ex-Hewlett Packard) have
a range of such meters - not cheap but well worth `borrowing if
possible.
So, again we make this plea; understand your measurement principles
and limitations of your instruments. Seek out the `real truth - John
Bedini should be able to acquire a calibrated power meter - let him
prove and substantiate his claims without the unnecessary
encumbrance of lead acid batteries ! At the moment, this is clearly
not science - its more akin to a magicians act - elaborate sleight of
hand is deceiving everyone !

There are an almost infinite selection of measurement error examples
from Bedini Motor related sources : (What do you think ?)
Input of 12 volt s DC at .08 amps has a wat t value of .96
Out put of 315.9 volt s DC was connect ed in series t hrough a 32,600 ohm ( Measured)
resist or as a load. The end result is a wat t value of 3.06.
Thankfully, the maths are correct and this example has avoided the
complexity of batteries. So here we clearly have the proof of
over unity - 1 watt in and 3 watts out - 300% ...
Sadly all that we have is a gross simplification founded on
measurement errors by a dedicated and enthusiastic experimeter who
has been given a false belief and a false expectation.
It is obvious that, if 3 watts of power was being dissipated, then the
resistor would be hot ! On other sites, the lack of heating of resistors
or batteries has been conveniently explained to be due to the strange
and beneficial characteristic of `radiant energy ... nothing gets hot -
maybe thats because theres no power !
Here is another example of nonsense measurements - this time by
John Bedini (Ref. : Mechanical Monopole Oscillator) :
Volt age across charging bat t ery was 12.56
Amperes measured going t o t he bat t ery was 38ma
Wat t s = V * A = 0.48 W or 477 milliwat t s
As has already been shown, a simple multimeter will tend to read the
peak voltage / current. In Johns example, the current might peak at
pdfcrowd.com open in browser PRO version Are you a developer? Try out the HTML to PDF API
38mA but the average current will be substantially less (Looking at
the waveform, the average current might be lower than a hundredth
of that of the peak.)
John Bedini concludes :
When the machine is properly built and tuned, by measuring with
conventional meters we will see more energy leaving the receiving
battery via a constant load than entered it.
The first principle is that you must not fool yourself and you are the
easiest person to fool.
Richard P. Feynman (19181988)
We enjoy these motors and so should the rest of humanity. Why ?
Because theyre fun and theres so much scope for creative talent and
fundamental learning. What makes us angry and upset is that the
perpetrators of this myth are held up to the world as the scientific
innovators of the future and dare to associate their names with the
true geniuses such as Guass, Faraday, Lenz, Maxwell and Tesla.
The consequence of their actions has incurred a significant
expenditure in time, effort, thought and money by so many.
Governments pass legislature to prevent us falling foul of too good to
be true financial investments the same should hold true for this type
of nonsense education, good judgment and a healthy dose of
scepticism are the best defenses against becoming a victim.

We close this entry with a quotation :
There is NO free electricity produced in these systems, or any
other system that I know of. I have stated this repeatedly. The
only thing these systems produce are a series of high voltage
spikes that have no current associated with them. Voltage
without current is the nature of Radiant Energy. This is what Tesla
said. I call this reactive power because it does not represent
voltage and current simultaneously, that could be measured as
WATTS. This Radiant Reactive power WILL charge batteries, light
light bulbs and other things but it DOES NOT meter as REAL
POWER. This is why your math is useless !
So please, quit quoting your theories and analyses to me. My
pdfcrowd.com open in browser PRO version Are you a developer? Try out the HTML to PDF API
light bulbs are on. Are yours ? You are welcome to believe in your
theory, but I KNOW that Tesla was right about the nature of
electricity, and how to successfully tap its useful fractions. If you
would just build the motor the way I have said, you could begin to
learn about this too.
Beyond this, I am done CHATTING with you. Leave the people
alone who are trying to learn this. Your ignorant comments are of
no use. Thats as nice as I can be about it.
John Bedini
It seems that John Bedini is clearly saying that his motors do not
produce surplus electricity - just high-voltage pulses with little current
or power. And all that its good for is desulphating batteries !
The motor is no more than the magicians distraction ... is it possible
that the `real magic takes place within the chemistry of a lead acid
battery and its reaction to high voltage pulses ? Does it seem probable
that `Radiant Energy can not be proven to exist, measured and
quantified until it has been processed within a car battery ? Sounds
more like `Hocus Pocus than science !
We leave the debate and conjecture to others ...

Low Power
pdfcrowd.com open in browser PRO version Are you a developer? Try out the HTML to PDF API
Seiko Instruments Inc. S-882Z Ultra-Low Voltage Charge Pump
Working at the extremes of very low
power provides a greater understanding
and appreciation of all aspects of this
type of pulse motor design. Our
definitive benchmark in low power
consumption is based on the circuit on
the right.
These circuits place no reliance on
semiconductors; other than the solar
panel. The trigger is a simple reed
switch which requires no power to
operate other than an infinitesimally
small force to close.
pdfcrowd.com open in browser PRO version Are you a developer? Try out the HTML to PDF API
Solar cell specifications look good on paper 0.65V at 4mA. But
indoors, under normal lighting its more like 0.2V at 100A !
Pointing a 60W light bulb at it produces some improvement only in
full sunlight is the promised power delivered !
Using a magnetically levitated rotor, the first circuit worked but it
required the close presence of a 60W light source; maybe only to be
expected with barely 0.3V at 1.5mA available. The rotor chugged
along, hesitantly, at a sluggish 100 RPM.
Adding the 100F capacitor changed the performance dramatically.
The rotor sprang into life accelerating up to a healthy 2,000 RPM.
Even with the 60W light source removed, it continued to produce
around 200 RPM !
Why did the capacitor produce such a performance improvement ?
Nope not radiant energy ! The answer is that it created an energy
reservoir for the solar cell. For 80% of the time the solar cells power
was not being used. Only when the reed switch closed was there a
demand for power and there was hardly any to be had from the tiny
solar cell. But, by adding the capacitor, it allowed a charge to
accumulate until the next trigger.
(This is technique called burst supply power is delivered in pulses
rather than continuous; we use this approach in our designs to cater
for situations when power availability becomes very low.)
With a lot of effort to optimize the reed switch location, we
successfully got the motor to run from the lowest power levels yet
achieved the motor operated at 200 RPM using 0.15V at 500A
(75W).
pdfcrowd.com open in browser PRO version Are you a developer? Try out the HTML to PDF API
Silicon based semiconductors do not work at such voltage levels. They
need a minimum of 0.65V to operate. No work has been done using
germanium devices. They are considered to be archaic and are
becoming obsolete; but they work down to 0.25V.
The reed switch is hard to beat. Theyre cheap and you can replicate
similar motors for the cost of a reed switch, a bobbin of copper wire,
a few magnets and a borrowed solar panel using a garden solar lamp
or just use an old 1.5V battery.
In our implementation, using a 1.5V battery, we reached speeds
where magnets were being thrown off the rotor !
To date, weve not bettered the reed switch performance we did toy
with the idea of forgetting all the electronic design; to go with a
product that used something that was so simple. But there are a few
problems with reed switches. To get the extremes of performance,
the switch position and rotor geometry was critical. The other point is
that a reed switch ultimately will fail through metal fatigue. The best
estimates are 10
9
operations before failure this sounds a lot but for
a rotor using 2 magnets, spinning at 10,000 RPM 24/7 means that the
reed switch might fail in less than a year.
Reed switches have a much reduced lifespan when high currents are
involved. For those, making bigger motors, this can be remedied
using a power transistor that is driven by the reed switch.
Our test results from the above circuits are detailed below. We used
pdfcrowd.com open in browser PRO version Are you a developer? Try out the HTML to PDF API
three multimeters, an old analog AVO 8, Fluke 85 and a very cheap
digital meter whose origin is unknown - model no. N72CG.
These results show the problems associated with measurement of
pulse driven systems. Using solar cells exaggerates the problem -
unless drawing a relatively high current, battery voltage will remain
constant - a solar cell does not !
Solar Cell O/C Voltage S/C Current
AVO 8 0.35 1.35mA
Fluke 85 0.35 1.38mA
N72CG 0.35 1.41mA

Motor (no capacitor) Motor (100F capacitor)
Volts Current Volts Current
AVO 8 0.15 1.10mA 0.15 1.00mA
Fluke 85 0.58 1.85mA 0.15 1.00mA
N72CG No reading No reading 0.24 3.35mA
From examination of the above test results, it is clear that the AVO 8
provides the most consistant figures. We presume this to be due to
the averaging effect of the meter ballistics. Both digital meters
appear to display the peak transient levels rather than an average
value. (In fact the cheap meter could not cope with the pulse nature
of the first motor and displayed random numbers !)
If we had extrapolated these measurements, it is clear that we could
be led to believe and substantiate evidence to show that `extra
energy was being created.
pdfcrowd.com open in browser PRO version Are you a developer? Try out the HTML to PDF API
Again we highlight the danger of interpretation of measurements
from test instruments. In our experience, digital meters tend to
measure peak transients ... and that then leads to conclusions that
make no sense ... and permits us all to enter the strange world of
`free energy !
(We had intended to discuss Energy Harvesting and DC-DC Charge
Pumps but that subject will be covered later.)

Timing Revisited
pdfcrowd.com open in browser PRO version Are you a developer? Try out the HTML to PDF API
Following on from the discussion Timing Is Critical, the above
circuit provides control of the Bedini Motor that was hitherto not
available. Maybe the time is coming when this should no longer be
considered to be a Bedini Motor and we can wave goodbye to the SSG.
The circuit utilizes a CMOS 4538 Dual Retriggerable Monostable
Multivibrator as the main controlling element. The transistor is non-
critical and any NPN transistor can be used. The reed switch could be
any form of sensor; Hall-Effect, optical or a trigger coil; the only
proviso is that whatever the sensor is, it must provide the 4538 with
the correct logic levels. (We used a Meder Electronics Reed Switch
from Mouser - 876-KSK-1A35-1520)
The first monostable is used to control the speed of the motor. It is
used in a retriggerable configuration. The time constant (RC) is
chosen to set the RPM of the motor. So, if an upper limit of 2,500
RPM is required then this equates to a period of 60*1000/2500mS or
24mS. If C is chosen to be 100nF then the corresponding resistance is
24mS/100nF = 240K. (This assumes only one rotor magnet; our
design uses two magnets, so the resistance is halved - 120K.)
The second monostable is triggered by the leading-edge of the first
monostables output and provides the control of the power pulse
duration. The approximate duration should be about one tenth that of
the speed monostable; this is reflected in the capacitor size of 10nF.
There is no `hard and fast rule for the optimal duration - it needs to
be of sufficient duration to accelerate the rotor. (As will be shown
later, it is non-critical and is largely dependent on the type of rotor
and bearing quality.)
When the rotor starts spinning, the first monostable is triggered
pdfcrowd.com open in browser PRO version Are you a developer? Try out the HTML to PDF API
which in turn triggers the second monostable and therefore fires a
power pulse to drive the rotor. This sequence continues until the rotor
is spinning at a rate that is just greater than the corresponding
period of the first monostable. At that time the monostable has not
completed its timeout period and as the monostable is retriggerable,
a new timeout interval is restarted - therefore, for that trigger there
was no consequent power pulse. Only when the rotor has slowed down
fractionally will another power pulse be delivered. So there is now a
balance, speed is maintained constant and there is a considerable
saving in power consumption.
So, even though the power pulse duration might not be optimum, the
action of a more powerful pulse will simply push the rotor a bit faster
and the time interval to the next pulse will have been extended.
A third monostable could be introduced between the existing two to
control the interval between the trigger pulse and the power pulse. In
practice, this is not necessary as the trigger sensor normally can be
moved physically in relationship to the power coil - but the option
exists !
The first monostable can be reconfigured to be non-retriggerable.
This means that a power pulse will occur for every trigger pulse. Now
what happens is that the rotor will rotate at a rate that is always a
little greater than the monostable period - sometimes considerably
greater ! This mode consumes more power but is better suited to
those who want to continue to `recharge their batteries !
From this most basic of circuits, there are now opportunities to add
greater functionality and to consider different design options. For
example, in our levitating motor, the pulse synchronizes with the
pdfcrowd.com open in browser PRO version Are you a developer? Try out the HTML to PDF API
rotor sending it into a wobbly resonance. One solution is using two
monostables, to set an upper and lower speed. When the rotor
exceeds the upper speed, it then freewheels until the lower speed is
reached; the sequence repeats and voila - no more wobble and
another slight saving in power consumption !
As specialist digital systems design engineers, we consider that
monostables belong to the analog domain, not part of a digital
system. So, another approach is to use a crystal oscillator and digital
counters. Now all sorts of options become available - counting the
RPM is childs play, as is replicating the functionality of the
monostables. Logic can be introduced to respond to power
availability. It becomes easy to determine the rotor state - is it
speeding up, slowing down or stopped ? With the appropriate rotor
design, self-starting can be achieved too.
Operating parameters can be dynamically changed to maintain
efficient and smooth running ... but that is moving into the realms of
microprocessors and software. Isnt that overkill for a motor ? No, it
s fun and thats what its all about ! It beats the `socks off trying
to charge car batteries and potentiometer tweaking ! Nor is it
expensive.
For those of you making Bedini Motors from Imhotep axial fans - have
you ever stopped to look at the technology and functionality of the
chips that drive these motors ? Some are utterly amazing and you
throw them away and replace it with a neon, a 2N3055 and a
potentiometer then call it progress - shame on you ! If all that you
want is the back emf from the motor then add a diode and extract it
and leave the technology intact !
pdfcrowd.com open in browser PRO version Are you a developer? Try out the HTML to PDF API
This recording is from our levitating motor using the above circuit. It
accelerates from start to 2,500 RPM and there are two brief periods
when friction was applied to the rotor. The clicks are the power pulses
- as the speed stabilizes, the number of pulses decreases. The power
consumption peaks during startup at 2.8mA @ 3.0V, dropping to less
than 1mA when the rotor reaches its target speed.
(The hum in the background is the induced voltage produced by the
free spinning rotor.)
Our levitating motor uses two magnets. There is a tendancy for the
circuit to synchronize with one magnet, so the power pulse applied to
that single magnet makes the rotor wobble and resonance is
established - this undesirable effect is clearly audible.

Dart Motor
The low rotational speed requirement for this motor proved to be the
most difficult to design. High speed motors are very easily achieved
and control is relatively straightforward using circuitry similar to that
in our entry `Timing Revisited.
This motor operates just above what might be considered to be its
`stall velocity. Accurate rotational sensors control not only the
duration of the power pulse but its amplitude too.
This motor uses two coils to power the rotor - the driver circuitry is
similar to that found in a stepper motor.
The power consumption of this motor is substantially higher than our
other designs, but it can still run 24/7 from the same small solar cell
array.

Timing Is Critical
Animation of Trigger / Power Pulse Timing
Before starting this topic, its time for a little thought and some
experimenting by you Bedini enthusiasts !
Lets consider our power consumption. Simple, measure our voltage
source and the current consumption using our trusty digital meter.
OK, multiplying volts and amps gives the wattage.
Now lets think of a simple way that we might be able to cut our
pdfcrowd.com open in browser PRO version Are you a developer? Try out the HTML to PDF API
power consumption by 50% or more ?
Try this. Run your Bedini motor up to speed. Now disconnect the
power and count to 5. Now reconnect it again and count to 5. Keep on
repeating this - your motor will continue to run (if its got reasonable
bearings). Some of you might even find that the motor speed is only
marginally effected.
Amazing ! That means were wasting power; its ability to charge a
battery will be impacted, but the power was coming from our running
battery in the first place.
So our power consumption is now 50% less. But wait, how do we
measure that just to make sure ? The applied volts can be measured
but what about the current ? The trusty old digital meter isnt very
good at averaging over our on/off period.
But wait, if you stop to think again, the current was pulsed on and off
by the motor - its only on when a rotors magnet passes the trigger
coil ... but thats fast and our meter reads a constant value. Is it the
right value ? How can we be sure ?
This is the catch ! Working with pulse driven systems makes it all
extremely difficult to measure anything with certainty and accuracy.
(As we use solar cells, there were times that even measuring the
running voltage was difficult. Without a smoothing capacitor across
the cells, we found that the our Fluke 85 meter showed an increase
in voltage that was proportional to the motors speed - it moved
from 1.2 volts to 1.8 volts ! `Radiant Power ? No, just the
impedance of the cells supplying a pulse demand causing our meter
pdfcrowd.com open in browser PRO version Are you a developer? Try out the HTML to PDF API
to read wrong. Our old AVO 8 remained steady on 1.2 volts.)
The relationship and timing of the trigger and power pulse is critical
for a high performance and efficient motor.
(A motor that `sprays a rotating magnet field into the environment can never be
considered to be efficient in the normal sense. Every `true design of electric
motor considers this fact by striving to contain and focus such precious `radiant
energy.
Motors are designed to provide quantified torque / power - again this is of no
concern in the Bedini Motor.
But the Bedini Motor provides a source of discovery and inspiration. Everyone can
make one from basic, low cost materials. They can own it, refine it, modifying and
improving its performance whilst requiring little theoretical knowledge.
The leaky rotational magnetic field is fun - most have observed the remote
interaction of other magnets which does not happen with commercial motors.)
In the SSG, the trigger and power pulse are coincident. Therefore, if
the approach of a rotor magnet triggers the circuit too early, then
power is wasted. At its worst, the power pulse might decelerate the
rotor before it is accelerated. There is an optimal moment to `push
the rotor.
If the trigger is late, then again power is wasted as the rotor magnet
has passed the optimum point of acceleration.
The analogy of an internal combustion engine and its ignition timing
pdfcrowd.com open in browser PRO version Are you a developer? Try out the HTML to PDF API
The analogy of an internal combustion engine and its ignition timing
sequence is valid and useful. Consider the effects of early or late
ignition - terms such as `pinking and `knocking are known by all
car mechanics - engine noise produced by timing errors.
The SSG does not allow adjustment of timing. The trigger must be
processed independently and in isolation from the power pulse. The
use of a separate coil, reed switch or Hall-Effect sensor are good
solutions. The sensor can then be physically moved in relation to the
pulse coil.
Those who have created Bedini Motors using an independent sensor
can confirm these observations and conclusions.
Looking back at the internal combustion engine, there is another
factor - engine speed. The optimal operating ignition point varies
according to piston speed.
The same is true for the Bedini Motor.
Some will have discovered this fact. By mounting an adjustable,
independent trigger, it has been demonstrated that performance
improvement can be made as the rotor speed varies.
It should be evident that the SSG is indeed simple and, as a
consequence, little performance improvement can be made.
Like the fuel injected by the carburetor, consideration needs to be
made of the power pulse duration. This and more will be the topic of
a later entry.

The Bedini SSG motor, to all intents and purposes, is identical to that
patented by Roger Andrews. It is based on what is commonly known
as a `blocking oscillator.
Blocking oscillators are often used as voltage converters / simple
switch-mode power supplies; for example fluorescent light inverters.
For many, it will be recognized as the circuit for a `Joule Thief.
Many people have made `strange observations about the behaviour
of the Bedini SSG Motor :
The weird t hing is t hat t he amount of current required t o drive t he rot or goes
DOWN when you bring t he generat or in t o play or add a load.
Even weirder is t hat t he rot or doesnt appear t o be st rict ly necessary for t he
bat t ery charging side of t hings. If t he coil and associat ed elect ronics are used on t heir
own, or wit h t he applicat ion of a magnet on t he t op and bot t om of t he coil, induces
self resonance and t he charging process st ill t akes place.
The Bedini SSG Motor is a mechanically triggered blocking oscillator.
By careful coil design or the addition of a potentiometer, it is
arranged that the motor is close to self-oscillation. As the transistor
starts to conduct, current begins to flow in the inductors power coil
which induces an increase in voltage in the trigger coil. So the

transistor is driven harder into saturation by this feedback loop. In
the absence of this positive feedback, the trigger coil would not have
the sensitivity needed to react to the change in magnetic flux as the
rotor turns.
With the SSG, this sensitivity is adjusted by the potentiometer. At
one extreme, there is insufficient transistor base drive and the motor
will not run. At the other extreme, the circuit will self-oscillate -
marked by a step in power consumption. The neon bulb will illuminate
and `battery charging is possible. (For those without the luxury of
an oscilloscope, a domestic radio, tuned to 200KHz or thereabouts,
can provide an audible clue as to what is happening.)
Many SSG enthusiasts refer to this point just before self-oscillation as
the `sweet-spot.
When a load is applied, this balance is altered - the response of the
power coil changes and this is reflected in the amplitude / shape of
the trigger pulse drive to the transistor - the power consumption will
decrease.
Voltages produced by a blocking oscillator can be enormous and many
hundred volts are readily achievable.
So what happens to the `charge battery when it receives a high
voltage pulse ? The answer is that the battery is desulphated.
Accumulations of lead sulphate are stripped from the battery plates,
allowing the battery to perform better. This is the crux of the Bedini
Motor myth - it can desulphate a lead acid battery making it work
more effectively - it is NOT a true battery charger !

So if you really need a battery desulphator then here is a simple
example - it has no moving parts and is probably 100% more effective
! This example is typical, deriving the power from the very battery
that it is rejuvenating !
It costs very little to make and there are many kits and products
available that are tried and tested over many, many years - it is not
new technology - it is as old as the lead acid battery itself - it is not
`Energy From The Vacuum, it is simple text book chemistry - lead
sulphate (PbSO

) !

The really wierd and strange discovery is that Bedini and Lindemann
produce and sell desulphators ... and despite all of the claims that
magnetic motors are the panacea for the worlds energy crisis there
is not a magnet or moving part in their design !

The above is `The Classic RC-2A12 desulphator / charger -
`Compact, Affordable Radiant Power for 12V Batteries at only
$260.00 ! (Thats a lot of batteries to recover !)
Whilst over on , desulphators are available for less than $30.00
but they dont have that magic ingredient - `Radiant Power !

Later entries will explore some design considerations to improve
system performance and efficiency. Aspects relating to battery
charging / reconditioning will not be investigated. These motors are
really fun, so lets make them run faster and longer using less power
