    Ok. Thats what I have on the coils and the SG is running however it is at a slow-medium pace and is NOT tuning despite following the instructions completley. I thought at first it may have been a magnet issue. I will place a video soon on this illustrating the situation...

    20 and 23 at 12 volts will work fine for that battery...

    Tom,

    I am seeking to charge a 18Ah 12V Lead Acid Battery. The input is exactly the same.
    In the future I would like to charge a whole bank of these as well as use multi-turns on the coils.

    you can use 18 awg for power with a 20 for trigger or you can use 20 and 23..... depends upon what you have and what you are driving. 18 power and 20 trigger works better at 24 volts for me.

    you are mixing floyd sweet and his vacuum triode amplifier, and the monopole. which means only north poles out - mono-pole.......

    there ARE however specific things you can do to build it right, we have talked about those. match all components, match the coils, use 18 awg, all north CERAMIC magnets, limit mechanical friction, or build it solid state.

    Tom can you elaborate more on what "use 18 awg" means? Are you talking of the wire to be used in the circuit or the Power wire in the coil? Because I have used 20AWG and 23AWG on the Power winds also...

    The first thing we want to get out of the way is magnets, which to use? we only use Ferrite C8 in the monopole energiser. 3/8" by 1" by 17/8" almost every magnet supplier on the face of the planet has this exact magnet or something similar. John will be posting on the reasons for this decision at a later time.

    The Answer to this will end this Thread.... but yes i think i know what the answer is... A cubical Magnet is just as good as the Answer is..

    Hello all.

    Can someone tell me what are the drawbacks if I use neodymium magnets of a different size instead of ferrite of 1 x 2 x 1/2 inches size?

    Can't I simply change the distance of the coil to compensate the strength of the magnets I choose?

    Cause I having trouble to find the correct size of this magnet.

    Thank you for your support.

    MrAngusWangus on youtube uses ring magnets from old speakers on most of his machines. I have been wondering what the magnetic field of these looks like as compared to a solid round magnet.. I seriously doubt that the ring magnets are anywhere near as good as solid ones. What I noticed on an old machine that I experimented on is that when your coil is centered on the ring magnet, the ring magnet acts as two separate magnets because of the gap in the middle. Maybe if I had used a bigger coil it wouldn't be as such, but with the void in the middle, I can't see how this would be any bit beneficial.
    However, in my head I imagine ring magnets as having a vortex of magnetism in the center of them... so maybe, just maybe, a machine could somehow take advantage of said vortex (if it actually exists?).

    I am going to use the rotors that I made with the ring magnets for a generator experiment with U cored ("leedskalnin PMH" cores) coil setups, using different types of coils and different configurations, so maybe somehow I will be able to find out if these magnets do indeed have a vortex in the middle that can be taken advantage of somehow, someway.

    Common sense is telling me the North pole of my magnet should attract the south part of my compass needle. Is it so?
    I am asking because we know that magnets align themself N-S N-S N-S and so on. But I read somewhere that all our compass are wrong. Since the N on the compass needle point to the earth North pole, so in reality in order to follow the N-S-N-S alignment, the ''N'' on the compass needle should in reality be a ''S''.

    Or is it our earth North pole that is in reality the south pole.....AAAaarrgghhhh!!!!
    I know this is a very, very, very old post... but I wanted to reply to it since I struggled with the exact same problem at a point in time, and I'm sure there are still some people that are scratching their heads and trying to figure out the exact same thing.

    This is the simplest way that I can put it:

    The "North" compass needle is indeed the North pole of the compass's magnet. With your magnet in front of your compass, if your North needle is pointing at the magnet, that is the South pole of your magnet, and vice verse.
    The explanation of this is as follows: What we call the "North Pole" is indeed the "South Magnetic Pole".
    (The people who originally started publishing maps wanted to make the "western civilization" the "top of the Earth" so they flipped us 180*!!! They also make the USA & Canada look wayyyyyy bigger than they really are!)

    Hope this helps some people and keeps them from scrooging up like I did at first!

    from another forum:

    I will state this again I never use Neo magnets with these motors because they do saturate the cores I do not want that at all. If you saturate the core then you must use a lot of current in the system I do not want that either.
    The only way to use that magnet is like I did by placing the magnet behind the ferrite magnet to shape fields. When you shape fields you can cause them to switch magnetically. If you build a Mag Amp out of the monopole coil you will see why, and do not think that you can not do that I do it all the time. Also the welding rods have changed from the time I first started using them, the iron retains a magnetic bias in the new material, not good.

    I have always said do not use Neo magnets in my monopole motors, the only place you should be using them is in Iron-less coils then they work fine. If you use this Neo magnet you will fail at what your doing and I'm not going to be able to help you get yourself out of trouble with this machine.

    this is for the monopole and the ferris wheel

    Tom C,

    My question was more about the pulsing. Otherwise about the cores that was my point as well - solid. Even though it is a Bedini machine I consider Watson's machine his own build so let people do not get confused about the shape of the magnets on it.

    Tom C,

    I have seen disc shaped magnets on John's machines but never ring magnets. Looking at a picture of Watson's machine makes me wonder about something I have never seen to be asked. A ring magnet will emit opposite pole from the hole meaning that if you look at the North side of the magnet the center of it where the hole is emits South. Do you know how that affects the pulsing and if those should be avoided in general in Monopole machines. Apparently it worked on Watson's machine but I think it could be detrimental to the pulsing.
