Question about Bedini's solid state system.

Hi,

I've never used timing circuits or anything with my solid state chargers. I just use the normal SG circuit with the 1N4004 diode that connects the emitter and base removed. This allows the coil to self oscillate and I get very good charging results. It's also a lot less complicated.

Cheers,

Steve.

I’m just confused about the spike that comes from the coils. Is it positive, negative or both?

It is unidirectional, in reverse direction of powering current, full bridge will capture electricity during coil powering too, better explanation:

I suspected that it also has something to do with the fact that Bedini is using a full bridge rectifier in his "secondary" and that such configuration is allowing for inductive coupling to transfer energy to the capacitor. I then used only a single diode in order to reduce that effect caused by inductive transfer from "primary" to "secondary". Indeed, a single diode did reduce the anomalous current consumption on the "primary" during the "charging phase" prior to inductive collapse.
