Daobra, tell me this. You said your cap was at 12- 13 volts while running your fan on 24 volts correct? Do you have 24 volts on the charging side, because your...
Thanks for the advice and inspiration Shanan and Slloyd! Have been real busy here in Japan with life, changing jobs etc.. But getting back to it all as of...
No worries mate :) Good to see you've got some more time to tinker. Reducing vibration is usually a matter of locating it and taking appropriate measures to ...
G'day Shan, You sound Aussie? or Kiwi? Well the new stand is going well (no wobbles) I'll go get some rubber pads from the local hardware store and give them a...
Definitely clean, lube, and take all but a little slop out of the bearings. In addition, if your wheel has spokes, true it up. Lastly, when adding feet, use...
Hi Shanan, yes I was driving at 24V and charging 12v but that's really not a smart idea I understand now. I also measured incorrectly so the charging voltage...
Thanks Randy, I completely cleaned out the barings in my newer bike wheel last night and it seems to run very smoothly without lube. Will add some today and...
Often times an older spoked wheel will be slightly out of round and/or line (side to side). You place some kind of guide next to the rim and spin the wheel and...
Yup, Gosford, NSW. My acrylic rotor has this wierd sympathetic vibration at a certain rotational speed. Makes the whole cupboard chatter :) its quite unusual,...
Good morning one and all. I just joined your group yesterday and would appreciate some feedback from the gurus out there. Just how would one use the Benini...
Ah I see, Thanks Randy and Shanan. Randy, Aussie too? Truing the wheel sounds a little tedious, lol. I'll transfer the magnets to the newer more balanced wheel...
Hey FFF, Good work on the wheel, sometimes it is easier to just start fresh on the rotor. I have the coils in casings as such because I made my own spools. The...
Stumbled across an idea tonite while observing my SSG humming away on the bench. I took my automotive timing light. (sears crasftsman dial-back light) and...
Shan, your'e a rippa! That site is wonderful. Thanks mate! Tons of info that I can learn from. It helped me understand the balancing of the rotor. Is there a...
Good observations! And if you are short of strobe lighting gear, you can even use white LEDs for that purpose. You just need some very good reflector on the ...
David, I have the 12a2 charger. it is a monster! I have restored big trojans with it! when doing really small batteries with it, I couple a larger battery in...
Hi Jim, I'm not a Guru. In fact I'm little more than a beginner myself. I recommend you watch these videos to learn what this technology is capable of. It...
Your welcome Brad, anytime. I must say I found that site invaluable too when learning. Theres little sections of it that you cant get to directly so make sure...
Hey Jim, Well I'm not really a guru, but I have built one and I am pretty sure I have a reasonable understanding of their working principles. So as far as I...
Hi, As an European it is not easy to understand AWG for magnetic wire, we use mm. Is this table on http://amasci.com/tesla/wire1.html good to see as a...
Hi, I am new to the group and getting ready to build my first Bedini motor. I have an aluminum 16.5 inch diameter rim. The spokes do not seem to be magnetic....
