Hi,
I hooked everything up the way as the circuit shown in the Bedini beginner guide, I spun the wheel but the wheel did not rotate continuously and eventually stopped, is there a way to check if the circuit is functioning properly and troubleshoot it? I tried reducing the resistance from 470 ohm to 120 ohm but it still did not work. We did the circuit with the 7 resistors, transistors and 14 diodes.

You have to find the point where the resistance is low enough to allow the trigger strand to activate the transistors, but just enough.
The speed of the magnet passing the coil increases with rpm. That speed up increases the trigger voltage. So as the machine speeds up you will increase the resistance to bring the level back to "just enough" to trigger. This is why the efficiency goes up. The faster the wheel is going the less it draws....kind of.

Thank you so much for the information.
Attached are the figures of our circuitry. We hooked it up to the solenoid and power and charged battery but nothing seems to be working. Do you have any ideas on what might be wrong and what can we do to trouble shoot.
Could it be due to the fact that we have yet to discharge the battery to about 10.5V?

Hi, again,
This might seem like a dumb question, but, I do not have any lead acid batteries to that need to be charged. Is there a way that I can discharge a sealed lead acid battery for the sake of this experiment? I tried hooking up a 12V 5AH sealed lead acid battery to 3 330 ohm resistors in parallel to try to discharge it, however the voltage will only decrease to 12.74V and stops there. Is there an explanation for this?

I have an output battery, however it is a full battery, could that be the reason why?
Also, what kind of board do you recommend a beginner to use. I am a currently using a breadboard, and it seems like it burns the plastic. Can I use a stripboard and solder the components onto it?
Breadboard - not likely it will burn the plastic. With some small setup if that is what you have, probably won't draw that much current but yet, solder the components, much better anyway with real connections.

I will post some pictures (Monday), when I get a chance to since it is not at my home with me.

I have purchased the Bedini Handout and am currently working on the beginner version.
I followed all the instructions and bought almost all the same electrical components as stated in the handout.
However, when I hooked my circuit up and connected the power, the NEON light lighted up and there was no current in the coil.
Also, for the solenoid, I used a single iron rod instead of the multiple welding rods, is that okay?
Do you have the output connected to a battery to charge up? If not, the neon will light up.
Please post some pics so we can see your setup.
