My friend, Polarity Therapist Andrew Harry and I have built a Bedini SSG (Simplified Schoolgirl) motor. It is named this because the first one was built for a US school science fair by a 10 year old schoolgirl, under telephone tuition from John Bedini himself. It won the science fair as it ran on and on, recharging its own little 9 volt batteries.
Our SSG not only spins a heavy bike wheel at up to 250 RPM but charges batteries at the same time, all whilst taking a small amount of power from the running battery to do it.
The battery charging uses pulses of radiant electricity, cold electricity, which doesn’t heat the charging battery at all, and results in a higher charge each time, effectively restoring and enlarging the battery – unlike any conventional charger.
So far we have restored to as-new (or better) a couple of 18 volt drill batteries and are some way into restoring a 12 volt 12AH motorcycle battery. I’m also giving it some long shifts working on a 110AH boat leisure battery, although that’s a very big battery for the current setup to charge with any speed.
Absolutely everything about the SSG turns convention on its head. If you give it work to do, eg. load the wheel with a pulley or a fan, it draws less current. It can charge a battery from a battery of lower voltage, etc., etc…
