Are you adjusting the ohms in the trigger wire or the power wire?

If trigger wire only, I doubt it will have any effect on the amps in the power wire.

I have duplicated the solid state effect with a Bedini coil without a wheel, and have looked at it on my oscilloscope. I see a high voltage pulse which has a frequency of 2000 Hz in the power wire and I can adjust its length with a potentiometer in the trigger wire. It also changes the tone that is emmitted from the coil.

When it goes inaudible, the pulse stops and I get only a flat trace on the scope.

This circuit seems to do a good job charging batteries, though I am still in the battery conditioning process. Isn't that the point, anyway? I mean what is the purpose of the wheel, then, if anything?

Oh, yes, I put a wheel with crappy ceramic magnets that can be spun over the coil, but they don't seem to have any effect on the pulse. No switching signal is generated that would enable rotation to occur. This could be because the magnets are to weak to generate a sinusoidal wave, which is what I expected to happen. Then I expected the wave to determine the pulse rate. Nope.

I don't know why the circuit begins pulsing, or what cuts the pulse off. I used a bifilar winding with 20 and 22 gauge wire. Maybe that is what does it.

Well, keep up the good work. It's interesting.

To get the second point creating a second curve in the solid state chart, I'm applying resistance of the ohm meter between the (-) terminal of the charging battery and the (+) terminal of the input battery.

Do you have a way to get a screen shot of your oscilloscope readings? I'd be interested to see what you've go there.

When I had two 6V hooked up in series, I was seeing a region in which the solid state coexisted with the rotation. I'd be interested to see what that looks like on the scope and to see what it is doing to the batteries charge-wise.

I wonder if Radiant energy (presuming that this is part of what is happening here) "leaks" from a battery, similar to how hydrogen leaks from most containers. This may be why Peter sees a better effect when the batteries are used regularly, rather than left sitting around. To test this, I suppose one could charge multiple batteries and then do a load test on them at different durations after the charge segment stops. See if there is a decay over time.

This would be a little tricky in that batteries drop some voltage after being charged anyway.

It may be, too, that some loads are more radiant energy friendly than others. Generating light might be amenable, while running it through an inverter may not. To use an analogy, we all know that hydrogen is highly combustible, but we also know that engines need to be modified to be able to run on hydrogen. They don't just run on it as is, at least not very well, and not without causing problems in the engine. Radiant energy may have an analogous effect in various electrical devices. We may need to re-engineer some devices to be able to run on radiant energy.

You saw my data from what my Bedini-circuit-charged batteries did in the West Mountain Radio Computerized Battery Analyzer. It's volt readout was jumping all over the place, even though the multimeter showed a steady voltage drop over time. That tells us something. Not sure what yet.

I'm just completing a set of load tests today that are coming out nearly identical to each other in a 0.5 amp test over about an hour. It would seem to conclude that the zero current charge is doing nothing to the batteries (in terms of modifying them to discharge slower, for example), when in fact, all it is telling us is that it does nothing for this particular load profile.
