Cool Joule's wheel

[Slider2732]

The builder formerly known as Patrick (iirc) and now Cool Joule seems to have finally cracked something with the old familiar Bediini SSG.
He uses a reed switch with a separate 1.5V battery to swith a transistor. Pulses are dumped back into a capacitor, which at approx 13V dumps to the drive battery using a 2 pin backwards connected transistor. That breakdown thus forms the dumping method.
Apparently he's been running it for 2 days and it has increased the charge on the run battery by a couple of thousandths of a volt, plus the 1.5V batt will run for a year.

A couple of air coils around the outside, or, something light of a generator hanging off the motor shaft might make a spectacular machine out of something we have all likely built before now.

It uses a 9 stranded coil, 8 + trigger, which 'balances' the machine with different input voltages. For example using 9V, he only uses 5 wires. Had never heard of that before.
