    Energenx videos gone from YouTube

    Scratchrobot,

    Yes, it appears ALL of the Energenx (and rickfriedrich) videos have been taken off YouTube.

    I was fortunate enough to use Keepvid to capture a few of the earlier ones that were released.

    wanted to see the video's again but they are gone?

    Scratchrobot,

    The waveform looks like a standard SS SG waveform to me. It's the same as a rotored SG "h" wave, without the hump which occurs when the magnet passes the coil's core.

    Patrick Kelly's document shows Bedini's patent which uses mosfets, which is apparently the design used on the Bedini commercial chargers. No one knows except Bedini what he's using in the Solar Tesla Amp, it's anyone's guess as it's proprietary. Bedini did say on this forum though that mosfets "are not the way to go" on the TS.

    I can't see where Energenx's website has changed in the last 2 years! The pic you see of the solar-kick is an old prototype. Have you seen the videos which clearly show the latest production version?

    JB is showing us his famous waveform going to the batterys in one of his solarcharger vid's, I think that is wat we want in our TS also. I also see the same waveform in gotoluc's self running coil vid's (i attached the scope shots)

    I found a pdf of what i think is JB solar-kick charger, maybe that's the way to go. It's using IRF260 mosfet's but i can't find any info on them?

    I also noticed that the energenx site has changed and they now have the solar-kick charger on their product list, i want one

    regards, scratchrobot

    Good luck then!
    Mind the AMP capabilities of your top hats.
    I will try to get myself some 1T813V from ebay but I think I'll wait to see your results first.

    Hey thanks

    I wanted to confirm from the Data sheet the specs. IT906A's

    I am also looking for a pinout but I have not been able to find the datasheet on them.

    I don't know if they will even work but I am giving them a try and see if there is a difference.

    Hi Matthew.
    1T906A= 75V 5A 65MHz

    GT906A=15W, 75V, 10A, 30MHz

    GT806B 100V |15A |30W |Hfe 40-100 |F 10MHz

    1T813V (or GT instead of 1T) 100V |30A |50W |Hfe 40-120 |F 10MHz

    You can't use: GT108 10V| 50mA| 75mW| Hfe 60-130| Kn 6dB| Fe 1MHz


    What else you need to read from russian?

    Regards, Valentin

    Also came across the LT3751, maybe a way to charge those caps?

    @Bit's, Do you have some more info on how to do the battery sensing part with the LM324?

    regards,
    @scratchrobot, are you talking about my earliest version of the D-TS? If so, for the Batt 2 and 4 sensing test points I think that I use the part of the LM324 as an "Inverted" as opposed to the "Non-Inverted" type. I had also changed the reference point to be the same for all of the sensing on a later version. Hope this helps.

    Then he also mentioned the Bipolar switch to charge a cap
    If you look at the solar charger video you will see that the 0V from the power supply runs to the huge cap and the 17v to a black box in the back. Then a wire return from there. It is possible that the black box contains a joule thief circuit with the bifilar coil. I am not sure why it also draws pulse current from the supply as a ssg or joule thief draws a constant current.
    The 4 caps on the charger part could be 10 000uf 25V. 22mm wide x 40mm high
    In series they are 2500uf with a 100v capability
    In parallel they are 40 000 with a 25v capability.
    If charged up in series to say 40V with radiant energy from the large cap , they will have a output of 15v in parallel with hopefully good current pulses.
    It will be easier to try this with relays first to try and get it working.


    Had some bugs in that drawing.

    It was a Black and Decker Lawn Hog motor. Electric Lawnmower. They advertise it as 5 hp but its really a 5 hp gas equivalent. 1.5 kw motor or about 1 3/4 hp. The batteries that came with the motor were like 2 x 12 amp hour batts and they just died after one summer.
    Montgomery county, Maryland gave a couple thousand out to senior citizens in some kind of Carbon Offset program. They lasted 1 summer. You could find them all over up there in back yards. I got few of them after doing work on peoples houses.
    They are one of the biggest PM magnet motors I have seen on a regular basis.
    I got one more thats bigger. I had in a truck. Its 26 hp from an elevator company. It ran truck around for about year until the frame of the truck rusted through pretty bad. I wanna get running again too.

    I am building an ISCC circuit with an electric motor driving an alternator for the load. Some big batts and heavy duty relays.
    I have yet to finish the control system to turn the system on and off. Still waiting for some Opto's. I am also waiting for the pulleys and the wiring harness for the Alternator.

    The motr is probably not big enough to drive the generator on a full load but all I am trying to do with it this time is back charge the primary batteries, then run them down while charging another bank. If it works I am building a huge one.

    Thought I would throw some shots up. We need more pictures.

    Pile of wire and switch's again

    Yes, Gene that's right...

    Hi Gene,

    Yes, the SS SG's at 6 strands will be master/slave variants - 1 trigger, 4 power and 1 winding for the FWBR. Why 6 strands? Firstly, because I already have them wound from another rotored SSG project. Secondly, because I already have the circuit boards made up - just minor replacement of some components, and thirdly because I have more room to play with to tune the load to the TS.

    I take it the SS SG's at 6 strands will be master/slave variants eh?

    At one time it occured to me that there must be a finite volume of space in which a bedini stator sits. That there must be a specific local volume that is filled to some specific point and no further. The master slave setup is one of the few bedini methods that supplies a dynamic shift of resistance that varies for Turn on versus Turn off. Supposing 10 strands at 1ohm a strand, if they all turn on at once its 1/10 or .1ohms as each conducts its portion of current that will fill that volume. When it turns off the resistances on each strand (presuming that we're using each power strand as the collector strand) shows this developed magnetic field a 10times higher resistance back at the 1ohm mark. Have you considered this?

    The inductance of this layout overall doesn't shift as all inductances are the same guage wire at the same length. Putting inductances in parallel doesn't shift the inductance value if all the wires follow this requirement.

    I'll be curious to see how this sort of "pulsed" on time affects the batteries. I think I'll probably be following your path but will probably be looking at using the collection caps from the two sides to act as the "source" for the load since the alternating tesla switch switching should hopefully keep the batteries charged up. Was looking at some 12volt 230Ah batteries but they're at 200/each so that would get expensive for 6 of those. That would probably be what I need tho to make some decent current pulses of around 20amps at the C20 rate there...


    Take it easy,
    Gene
