CALLOWAY HIGH-EFFICIENCY COLLECTOR CIRCUIT from KeelyNet © 2000 caught by Ken Carrigan. The circuit has now been corrected; thanks Ken. The battery is a 9-volt DC transistor bat- tery. Coil construction and other details can be found in the report on the 10-year- old girl's science fair project below [also see Bedini article, Science News, NEXUS 7/04]. I will integrate as much as I can into this file as information is provided. The S1 switch gives you the option of whether or not you want to recharge the battery. I'm not sure why you would want to do that, other than to drain a fully charged battery by seeing how long the motor would run without recharging. Replace the battery with a new one, and then switch the charging circuit on and see how much longer the motor runs with recharging. In the case of Bedini's 10-year-old girl who won the science fair with her version of his motor, with recharging the motor reportedly ran at 4,000 rpm for five days, and the 9-volt transistor battery was still fully charged when they shut it down at the end of the science fair. That is, to say the least, highly efficient. Note: you will have to experiment with the number of magnets and coils as well as their placement to achieve the best operation. Jerry Decker, KeelyNet, 9 August 2000 BUILD THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK! r his circuit is a design used by Robert Calloway, based on John Bedini's over-unity motor and energy collec- tion experiments posted on his website, www.icehouse.net/john1. Here is the redrawn circuit that Robert so kindly shared. He indicates it will allow collection of sufficient energy from a rotat- ing magnet arrangement as to provide one watt of excess energy above and beyond what it takes to recharge the battery. If you choose to experiment with such devices and wish to share your findings, advice or any anomalies, please direct your comments to Robert Calloway or to Jerry Decker so they can be posted and archived publicly in the KeelyNet Interact discus- sion list. It's only when we share that everyone learns. The following circuit had an error when I first posted it on 9 August 2000, which was Robert Calloway's comments 9 August 2000, 6.46 pm Hello, Jerry: I see nothing wrong with the circuit; a job well done! The single diode is the 6-amp blocking type. Probably an overkill, but I got it at work. The bridge is a 400-volt at 2 amps. The coils are 370 turns of #19 magnetic wire. The cores are very important. For the fellow just starting out for an easy-put-together motor, use 5/16 mild steel bolts by 2 inches long. Check these bolts with a magnet; make sure they do not retain magnetism. Wrap the shoulder of the bolt with one layer of electrical tape. Find some leftover plexiglass somewhere and take a 2-inch hole saw and cut out two plugs per coil. Slide one of the plugs onto the bolt to the head, them slide the other one onto the shoulder of the bolt. Having the shoulder of the bolt wrapped to protect the wire, start winding. Make sure you wind both coils in the same direction. The resistance in the coil is about 0.6 to 0.7 ohms. The threaded por- tion of the now-made coil can be used for easy mounting. For the serious builder, use mild steel filings mixed with epoxy for the cores. This must be a heavy mix of metal with the epoxy. A plastic spool with about a 5/16 hollow centre works well with this application. Jerry, I will attach a picture to this mes- sage which will help anyone get the idea of how to build this motor. However, it is my first prototype. Different coils and timing were used then. This picture is not what I use now, but it may help—your choice. I am also concerned with folks that are trying to build a motor and really don't know a lot about circuits or using plain common sense. Please, put in a clause that says "Build at your own risk!" or some- thing to that effect.
