HI, got my Rod yesterday: RG60, same as R60. I think I am getting better repulsion with this, but not as much as I thought. Anyway I have two 12v battery...
Looks like your one battery is warn out by the looks of it. This can happen by abuse, long life sitting on a shelf, long use with conventional systems, or by...
Hi, can you upload the plans for the Bedini's solid state pulse charger. Also, I tried other 12v batteries ( 3 in all ) and they all do that , they discharge...
Ken, I said all I did because you shared that the other battery did not discharge very fast, but behaved normal and discharged slowly. If that is the case then...
Hi I bought another potentiometer. I think mine was not good. Now the motor is turning much faster then before and the source battery is discharging at a...
Ken, You can burn out these pots easily if you turn them too fast under operation. The long safe way is to turn them only when the machine is not moving, or...
Hey, I dont have the discharge problem anymore. Although I am hearing click click noise from the transistor. That is happening only when the charge battery is...
Ken, Good to hear. Do not remove the charging battery while running as this puts tension on the transistor and can burn it out if done for long enough. There...
You can use about any size rotor over about 2 inches, but when you go really small it can get difficult. The best to use is the biggest aluminum rimmed wheel...
Al, The magnets are very common. They are sold at Radio Shack in the USA or are known as domino size magnets. I get them cheep from AZ Industries with a...
hi,, i finally got the rotor going, i used power supply adaptor first, but no battery for charging.. i used my small magnet, since it took a fast push spin to...
hi to all again,the setup ive made has a problem, it does not charge the 2nd battery, i dont know why, is it wrong to use a power supply in this setup and the...
Hello alfrancis, What have you done so far in the way of diagnosis? Have you walked through the circuit with your voltmeter to verify that you are getting...
hi luther, thanks for the reply, ive been waiting for an advice since the motor start to spin... my diagnosis is this, for the meantime ive been using a power...
Francis, I don't have much time right now so maybe some others can respond in more detail. You may want to just keep with the same batteries and start with...
Hello Alfrancis, Just have a couple of things I want to discuss. First off, it looks like your power supply should be fine. At 500 milliamps and drawing only...
Hi Francis, I had problems trying to charge NiMH with my SSG. Although the voltage in the batteries appered to rise while the SSG was running as soon as the...
Folks, here is a page I just found fyi: http://sound.westhost.com/fake/counterfeit-p3.htm#21193 I just looked through my pile of scrap transistors and found...
If you experience a fairly hot or melting coil this means your transistor is fried. And that is caused by several possible reasons. One is because of using...
hi again,bought 2 new batteries, 12volts, 5ah..test it with the setup,i started to spin then it goes on and the neon bulb lights brightly, then i set the pot...
The neon bulb is not supposed to ever go on. It is there as a safety in case you disconnect the charging battery. The power runs through the neon bulb instead...
hi again to all,ive bought a new analog meter,, im doing the load test,ive made data on the 1st experiment,. test the amp draw,60ma,12volts,battery input,same...
Al, If it was not clear in the instructions, you are to use another pot for that bulb test, not the pot in the SSG circuit. It can be the same. But the idea is...
Hi I just joined and I'm confused about the coil. The schematic shows # 23 and # 26 wire being used but the materials list calls for # 20 and # 23. Also, there...
Hi, I think I might of damage my coil. The motor was working fine. I decided to use some capacitor to discharge into the coil instead of the battery. Obviously...
hi, you can use the schematics or the list, i think its the same, its like a small setup and a big setup.. mine is 20 and 23.. for the length of the wire, you...
Dennis, Sorry about that. You can use either set of wires or many others if you know what you are doing. People may as well go with the cheeper wire which is...
If you blow the transistor majorly you will have this affect. And the coil will humm and get hot real fast. You can ruin a transistor without ruining the coil....
hello again.... i follow the the 3rd step on discharging the battery 2, i used the 10 ohm 1/2w, it lights like a bulb, then 50 ohm same watt, again it smoked...
Whats good to know here Dennis is to shoot for a coil thats around 2-8mH in inductance. If you do this I think you will see some good results. This is done...
