Marcia, thank you for looking at my coil pictures, before I used the iron wire in my coil, I tried to magnatise it and then see if a needle would be attracted...
Fisher, That's good that you tested your coil material. I had tested mine too, but the welding rods have turned out to be significantly better than iron wire....
Hi Fisher, Welcome to Monopole_3. I reviewed the photos and emails you submitted. Am unable to speak about using a hard drive and can only suggest that you...
hi fisher, I would like to encourage you in your progress. you will have a whole lot less frustration if you are patient and build according to spec. follow...
Thanks for your comments, David. All very good suggestions, worthwhile advice for every one of us here. Sorry I didn't reply more thoroughly, but it was 3 AM...
Fisher, I see that you keep attempting to "test" your output according to the neon bulb. I advise again that this bulb is there for a safety reason, so that...
"a pure iron core will become magnetized over time, ...." This is MIS-INFORMATION. Not to say that you stray from the pattern of the Monopole but the above...
Yes. BUT for purposes of a monopole energizer core, just having a material that does not retain magnetism isn't sufficient. I had one on my first build: I...
Thank you every one for your input, I have reposted pictures of my current setup and have taken away the metal strap over the coil, cut most of the hard drive...
Fisher, Good job. This is progress. For safety, when this circuit is energized, never not touch the conductors with your body. Never. You are responsible...
about iron and magnetism : from this website, please read the whole page. http://www.magnet.fsu.edu/education/tutorials/magnetacademy/magnets/page2.html Your...
yes, i about casting resin, but that is a little bit overkill though i'm sure it works perfectly. i stuff the R60 rods in as tight as it will go (the last one...
Found one here, Esab is multinational, so probably available in South Africa, too. http://products.esab.com/item.asp?id=13725 Internationally, they seem to be...
There has been a rapid increase of members and attention to this work lately. Today we reached 1000 members and will soon pass the SG list which is just a few...
Rick, You are too kind! This list is great because of the many members who are putting in lots of time helping one another and doing experiments. It's also...
Webster's Dictionary: Legion (L. legio, from lego, to collect. LEGEND) A body of infantry consisting of 1000 to over 6000. A great number. In the interest of...
Good stuff Fisher. Another thing Id like to mention is try swapping your batteries around. I dont mean from the back to the front, I mean try some different...
Lol nice! And they were Leigon!! Sounds like the next 300 film. Jokes aside, thanks to all involved here, especially Marcia and Rick. It is a joy for me to...
Marcia, I have a Tektronix 15mhz dual-trace made in 1977. Will this be useable for projects beyond the SSG in Bedini_Monopole3 or do I need something more...

Hi all. Here are some interesting things i have learned in the past few months. I don't comment to the group very often because i would only be reduntant. I do...
Rick, Thank You for your quick response. Yes, about not assuming the oscope showing everything. I just was wondering if what I had would work or if I should be...
Matt, You might try here... http://www.ezprobe.com/edu/matrix.html I have a set of the Texas probes (came with another scope) & although not "top of the line"...
To keep it as scientific as possible, what is the diameter of the coil's core or I.D. of the coil's core material that the winding's are wound onto? And what...
Paul, Fair question. Various sizes are OK for the plastic spool that the coil is wound on, which is why we didn't specify exact dimensions. I posted device...
Thanks! I will use the radio shack standard, so much easier. Paul ... From: Marcia Stockton <aeditua@...> To: Bedini_Monopole3@yahoogroups.com Sent:...
Rick, Good point. I have a very old 10Mhz oscilloscope, I think it was made in the '50s and possibly has some valves in it. My point is that the ONLY thing I...
