Here is the clip for the new Bedini Ferris Wheel Regauging Motor:

The first question that comes to my mind is what does this device actually do?
You see it running off a bank of three car batteries and apparently charging another bank of three car batteries. So what, that means nothing unless somebody can provide specifications that describe what it actually does.
Right now as far as I am concerned it's a device that drains one bank of batteries and charges another bank of batteries for a net loss in energy at the end of the day. It's a fancy and expensive prop for wowing people at seminars.

A very valid question! I have read almost every report on the conference and can find no explanation as to the wheel's purpose, other than it would appear to be an extremely expensive battery charger. Perhaps Jeff could shed some light on this as he attended the conference and appears to have JB's ear. If it really can run OU and its capable of powerering a domestic home, then surely a convincing demo would have been to run a few hundred watts of lighting and a say a fridge continuously over the course of the conference and let the attendees measure the voltage of the two battery banks whenever they wished. Coke and Pepsi 'on the house' could then have been stored in the fridge and JB could have claimed that the drinks are being kept cool by free energy! Alternatively if the mechanical was the major 'free' component, then he could have fitted a couple of chairs and charged for rides, whilst others monitored the voltage fluctuation of the batteries. Either way, this would have been a lot more helpful than just staring up in amazement at the wheel.

I like the attached chair and free ride idea.
I wonder if there was a restriction on the use of meters and forbidden use of Ohm's law. Probably not.
Most Bedini groupings don't need such restrictions. They wouldn't know what the restrictions meant.

Yes, the chair idea would have been most amusing, since there seems to be only a few inches of clearance to the ceiling ;D
I am amazed at how much time, effort and money went into that wheel and the conference in general :(...truly bewildering :-\
BEP:
Somehow, I don't think that would have become a problem :D
