    Well, today I had my first zapping from my enegizer. I guess that completes my initiation.

    I was testing the voltage spikes on a small 400V cap (got it to about 230V) when I touched the transistor to check for heat. I forgot I was using the 3055 type. My finger bridged the output of the collector diode with the casing. Sent a nice little tingle through my upper body.

    I guess it's just another sighn that there is a lot more going on than meets the eye.

    Cheers and all the best.

    Steve.


    Yep, know what you mean. I never used a cap in any of my work, but the spikes that the basic SG produces give a good jolt!

    I actually got experienced enough that I would sometimes grab hold during the tuning process to get a "feel" for how things were going.

    That was before I got an oscilloscope!

    On Erin's page he simply hooks his wires up to a drill and twist them all together at once.

    I may redo my coil as well, I may take a measurement of my present setup and make one change at a time to test the change.

    Yeah, stretch all the wires way out in a long space...prolly have to go outside...then use a slow speed drill to twist them.

    I was told early on that this was an important feature.

    Thank you for your pictures... That looks simple enough, I also have used magnet wire for my connections because it is very flexible, and I figured that it has the same resistance as the coil.

    I like how short your connections are.

    I think I may attempt to replicate this. I am still not sure how you are combining the two circuits as I don't see the underside of the board, but looks very straightforward...

    Ok you have a trifialar coil. so this is setup like the standard multicoil Bedni circuit? ( see attached )

    I looked at the attached...greek to me. Aaron would be able to answer that better.

    I first wrapped the coil with wire according to the original Bedini SG instructions, then when I went to the two circuits I had to start over and rewind it with TWO power wires (one for each circuit) and one trigger wire.

    P.S. Looking at the pic of the coil it does not look very neat...however, I tried very hard to not only twist the wires evenly BEFORE winding them, but also to wind them evenly from right to left and then left to right, etc. I was told that this DOES make a Measurable difference.

    Hey! I just found 3 pics on my puter of the SG that I ran for thousands of hours.

    This is the unit that I regularly produced 1.9 amps for every 1 amp used.







    These pics were taken to send to Aaron back in 2005.

    Important Note:
    I 100% believe that the results I experienced were a direct benefit of certain PATHS modules.

    sweet spot

    Steve,

    It's like they can be run in a high efficiency sweet spot. John might have posted more details in the Bedini SG group that Sterling was asked to close...the msgs are still there.

    Hi Aaron,

    Not sure what that means in terms of charging performance. I'm still learning about how transistors and the like function.

    Cheers,

    Steve.

    bedini sg

    how are you working out your c.o.p. figures, am runnung my sg at 11.5v off single battery.using normal bedini battery charging twin battery circuit, collecter runs thru bridge and the battery also runs 60w dc flouro iight.so it seems to be 11.5v x 200ma to run systemand 50vx150 ma out, plus 60w. this should be2.3 watts to run and 67.5 out.this is not exact due to loosing .05v after 4-5 hour session,what figures should i be aiming for, any help

    Hi all,

    Great info about the TRV.

    I was just wondering, would a transistor with higher voltage ratings than the MJL21194 be an improvment? In a similar way to the improvment over using the 3055 type transistor, or would it mean that it simply wont burn out as easily.

    I will be trying this out for myself, but if someone else has already done some testing I would be interested in the results.

    Cheers,

    Steve.

    opposing magnetic field

    That data clearly shows the "berserk" fighting against each other is the opposing magnetic fields of 2 magnets pushed together.

    Here are some scans of some TRV data from Feb. 2005. By this time I was really starting to refine the unit and get some good results.

    The TRV data is BLIND. Pretty interesting notes.

    To learn more about TRV look at these links:
