Finished building my Sg but have not got it to run yet. Will it work with 9v transistor batts? my 12v 12ah batts are on the way. 21" Diameter alum. cycle wheel...
Hi New Guy... haha It should run off the 9V battery, just likely slightly slower once it spins up. A simple way to verify everything is phased correctly is to...
... it spins up. A simple way to verify everything is phased correctly is ... terminal to each end of the power winding. Make sure it repels the magnets on...
hi to all, can anybody help me explain about the battery being charged so quickly, and the input battery doesnt discharge at all, i dont know what happened?...
Alfrancis et al; Some people have all the bad luck, but don't try to explain, just run your tests and collect all of your data. I am sure some one will ask you...
... if it isn't broken, don't try to fix it. keep running your tests, take maticulous notes, write down how you built the device, your observations etc. you...
I'm not an EE by no means, I'm a car and motorcycle guy. I know that when wiring things up you should connect, Red to Red, Black to Black and Blue to...
Glen, Yes we are dealing with cold boiling here, and noting temp is a very important observation. As for oscillating with the circuit shown on the front page,...
I noticed in the origanal drwings that there is a ground. Earth ground? I asumn it is not needed for this (ssg) to work as Rick does not mention it. Just...
hi jason, fair question. the quick answer is no, it is not necessary to connect anything to Earth ground for the SSG to work as claimed. on other message...
I got my first ssg running this weekend. I had it rotating last weekend but blow a transistor. I now four charged 12v batteries and I started with three dead...
Hello Jason, Congratulations! Great job! Can you describe your replication? What did you use for a rotor and spool size, wire size, magnets etc... Yes, by...
you're off to a great start! let me ask you something, when you blow your transistor what did you learn? or in other words, how can you prevent that from...
My Rotor is an 8” plastic scoter wheel from Wal-Mart ($8 with tire). (5) radio shack magnets (approx. ¾”x1.5”). My coil is not to spec on the sheet. I...
Hello Jason, Thanks for posting the details of the construction. Yes, it indeed does work and works quite well. As your batteries become better conditioned,...
and what protects the neon? ok, i won't make anyone work for it. put a 5K resistor in series with the neon to limit the current. slloyd ... does work and...
Thanks for that tip - I've never put a resistor in series with the neon bulb and haven't burnt one out yet - although one side does have a dark cloud around...
This is very exciting news. I'm ready to put one together. I have all the parts. Two questions: I have 0.5 lb each of 24ga and 22ga will they work? I have the...
What is #23 may be 1/23 inch? In Bg is metric system Neon Bulb NE 2 where and how other model is posible to use from fazomether? Welding rod how many rods...
Jonathan, Good to see you excited. Yes these wires will work. Just make them the same length (wind them together) a good 200 feet or more. You may wish to tie...
See a comparison chart for wire conversions. But you can use almost any size wire if you want. Bulb NE 2 is just a neon bulb; it can be rated at 60 or 90 or...
Hello Jonathan, This is a lot of fun and very educational as well. Ok, to answer your first question, yes the 22ga and 24ga will work fine. If I'm not...

Hi guys, I was going to stat rt testing per group experiment this weekend but my idea to count the RPM or MPM failed. I tried to use a pedometer modified with...
Hey, Don't worry about that test anymore. We can resume that later. Just go to the latest test I mentioned recently. Get your SSG up and running. Take two new...
Rick/all I have some time restraints (work along way from home +family) so I have short amounts of time I can allot for experimenting. Because of this, I am...
Jason, I'm trying to understand exactly what you did below. It is a little ambiguous. Let me repeat the instructions: Aquire two new batteries of the same...
Hi all. perhaps I should have explained better and sent it directly to you because i do understand the importance of this and do not wish to detract anyone. ...
jason, sounds like you're getting your feet wet with real experimentation. this is a great way to learn the technology. i too suffer greatly from not enough...
