Bedini's original model, September 2004
"The School Girl Radiant Energy Circuit and Motor is the most basic rendition of a patented circuit developed by John Bedini and researched by Dr. Peter A. Lindemann, based on the technology of Nikola Tesla, with follow-up work by Edwin Gray, Moray, and others. Bedini has done away with the need for a discharge gap. This "School Girl (Simplified)" design is the most basic presentation of the Bedini system. The circuit is run by an input battery, and charges an ouput battery, while turning a wheel, lined with magnets, that service to create a flux in the coils. There are some unusual characteristics observed in the process."Operation ~ The motor has to be started by an external push, after which it turns on its own from the firing of the coil electromagnet. It gradually increases in speeds until it reaches an optimum at around 300 rpm. Applying load to the wheel results in lower amperage going from the input battery because it is dependant on the rate of firing only.
"Features ~ Simple design. Inexpensive. Charger device whose oetput is friedly to batteries. Doesn't heat them, but actually refurbishes them. Charging takes less energy input by far than what is normally required, implicating Radiant (or whatever name is most suitable) energy infusion in the process. "
Assembly Notes ~
The Frame Stand needs to be non-magnetic, and mechanically stable front-to-back and left-to-right. The gap between the coil spool and wheel with magnets affixed (super-glue and tape) should be 1/8 inch. The gap should be variable for experimental purposes.
Determine the "North" end of the magnets with a compass, and label it. The "north" end of a compass needle will be attracted to the "south" pole of the magnet. All the magnets are mounted with the North pole facing out, toward the coil.
Equal-distance spacing of the magnets on the wheel's perimeter is not critical with one coil. There is a limiting minimum distance, but not a maximum. Spacing need not be uniform. If you plan to add more coils --- with a separate circuit for each coil --- spacing must be symmetrical for proper firing. Do not space the magnets closer apart than 1.5 to 2 widths.
Coils are loosley wound with approximately 450 turns. The two wires on the coil are wound together. The number of turns is not critical, but an accurate count is necessary for proper scientific recording.
Miscellaneous Tips & Precautions ~
Spacing of the magnets on the wheel's perimeter is not critical with one coil. There is a imiting minimum distance, but not a maximum. Spacing need not be uniform.
Do not draw power from the battery while it is being charged. Charge one bank of batteries, and discharge another bank, switching between them.
This design can shock, though not dangerously.
If the neon bulb is not in place, The transistor will burn out if the neon bulb is not installed, and if the device is run without a receiver-load (battery) for the radiant energy. The neon bulb serves as a "shock absorber" for excess output energy.
