Hello everyone,
this is my first post but i've been interested in these kinds of underground electronics for a couple of years.

i finally had a few spare hours to tinker with this bedini motor circuit. i am currently low on money so i was just using the materials i had in my shop... the bifolar coil is too small w/ too few wraps.
as soon as i fired her up, the electromagnet coil (bigger wire) would trigger the trigger coil (smaller wire), which switches the transistor and the cycle continues. The bifolar coil hummed and the rotor seemed to have little effect with regards to the transistor swithing.

what did i do wrong?
do i just need to get the correct gauges and length of wire.
what keeps your guys' coil from entering this "self-resonance"?
the induction from the main coil to the trigger coil is much greater than from the rotor magnets.
