        Commutator manifold from previous build.
        Using this as a basis for an infinitely variable switch.

            Shaft tapped with 3 commutator segments.
            The first two are back to back and will be soldered appropriately.
            The third will be a slip ring for the time being.

              I'm really glad to see you started this thread. Your work looks amazing. You have me thinking about going to a commutator on my little machine.

                G'day Bob,

                I've got some great ideas for the brush holders and timing yet to come.
                Just waiting on parts to arrive on a slow boat from china.
                I am concerned about the drag caused by the brushes but i'm hoping the increase of power from the pulses will offset it.
                I'm thinking first up I will only put one magnet in the rotor to prove the flip flop, then add magnets and gearing for the timing.
                I have had these commutators doing over 20,000Rpms without too many dramas.

                  My new larger Commutators turned up.
                  So did my 20mm polyethylene sheet.
                  Still waiting on bearings for my blocks.
                  Couple of Voldemort's old coils and its starting to look like something.

                      Rotor is slotted and magnets fitted.

                        Looking good John. Just 2 magnets on the rotor in this version?

                          Hi John,

                          For the moment yes. This is a test bed for larger versions.
                          I was contemplating just one magnet with an inert weight to counterbalance.
                          The shaft, bearings, commutator etc can all stay the same and a larger rotor can be installed with more magnets if necessary.
                          If this works I'm thinking of turning the 10 coiler into a mechanically switched monster.

                            John, just thinking about this for a bit. Will you only be using two commutator segments with the two pole rotor as well?

                            Since your using the commutator to replace the trigger and switching circuit I'm thinking you will only the same number of commutator segments as magnets on the rotor.

                            For the output section, will you still be the output diodes?

                              I'm building it according to Bedini's old mechanical commutator drawings.
                              While there are 24 segments on the commutator several of these will be soldered together to allow for maximum attraction time.
                              More or less can be soldered to allow for tuning.
                              The commutators themselves are held in place by an end nut which is variable too.
                              The brushes will be mounted to 6mm PVC in a geared mount for tuning while running.

                              "There is another type of controller I must make known, and it is the simplest of all. With three brushes and a commutator, you can do away with all the electronics and handle 100 times the power back to the battery. The simplest method would be a split commutator, of which a little less than 180 degrees would be copper. (see figure 12 Free Energy Generation.)"

                              Allowing for two magnets in the commutator I will use a maximum of 12 segments per magnet.
