Hi Kevin,
Thanks for those good words

I don't exactly understand this:

One factor that I kept looking for in your report was how much work was expended in each "loading cycle". From what I can piece together it ranged between 1.92 amps and 2.88 amps. Is this correct?

Maybe my english is not so good. Did you mean watts? My battery analyzer loaded the battery with 0.1Amp load constantly, that is about 1.288 watts when the battery is fully charged and 1.05 watts when the battery is almost discharged.
I used standard ball bearings (two of them) nothing fancy. I would like to try ceramic bearings some day, because they are known to be the lowest friction bearings, this would give much longer rotor free spin, but they are not cheap.
I have not tried any other RPM's and other drive currents, because 160 mA is the lowest current that I can get at the fastest speed, that is my sweetspot and it is said that you get the best charging when you run your SSG like this.
Someone once said, that the Bedini systems will only give OU if the batteries in the system are conditioned. That's why I will add another trifilar coil to my setup and use those three strands as slave coils with a transistor and diode for each strand, that way I will have 5 power coils and faster charging. I will need a bigger wattage pot though. I will condition two sealed lead acid batteries (7Ah) and then see if I can run the setup with battery swapping. But then again John said, that a battery that has been charged by these radiant spikes wont do good if placed in front side as the primary battery, it will discharge fast because the radiant energy kinda does not like to be reused by the SSG. If you want to swap batteries, you need power an inverter with the primary battery and then use a stepdown transformer and rectifier to power the SSG. That is not a good idea because of the losses in the inverter and transformer. Or you can use the cap pulser setup, but then again it is said, that in that case the capacitor absorbs these spikes and turn them into "hot" energy before releasing them to the charging battery. But wont that be a bad thing to do to a conditioned battery? Because we all know, that all the good effects of a conditioned battery disappears when the battery is charged with a conventional charger.
