Daftman Bedini / Newman hybrid my first attempt

Here is my first try at this...

Hendo has a much better setup than mine...

I am not sure why the charge rate is so poor..

RE: advice

Thanks for your advice.

I have tried the coils in different ways before only one configuration worked for me. I think I will try the Rectifier off the coil idea to see if that would help, I am considering putting an auto coil in series with the power coil and seeing if that does anything for me.

I have wired up this circuit again with 450 turns of wire on top and bottom coils ( finished at 1 AM this morning )

Well, bad, that switching Wires didnt give better Results, but good, that it seems you did find the right Point allready.
And so far i ve seen more wire doesnt hurt it.
But seems, its a relation to the Source, Thick Wire is better for more Amp load, like Car batts, smaller one maybe better for AAA's.
I prefer atm 0,2mm-0,4mm, in worse case 0.5mm Wire.
Seems i would need a lot of the 0,5mm Wire, that it works well.
I do about 700- 1000 Turns of mixed Wire.
But right now i rewind mine too, and, not sure, but i stay with the Coil only at one Side of the Rotor, and keep the other half free.
Sometimes this works better, sometimes not.
Maybe, i will put once again another Coil there, and trigger it with a second Switch, = double Torque.
And what i do mostly at the Coils is, going back the 2nd layer with only half Windings, that there is lesser induction,
Actually, i play around with 1/10 from previous Layer, 0,6 from previous, or other Digits, what have the golden Ratio.
That way i got more Force at one Side at the Coil.
Other thing i do is, to make more Windings at one Side, that it becomes a Cone.
That doesnt hurt, and windings dont need to be perfect, the wires should only not be to far away from eachother, that they still got selfinduction.
Its gives anyhow a better Field then same Layers to left and right.
What i ve still read anywhere is, that it is generally better, to have the Wires close to the Magnet, mabe a Box form is better then a Tube.
And at last, i put another Coil around it, where i got a LED connected.
And it even works, when i got the right End of the Coil to the Plus.
But for me is there still a lot in it, where i can look after.

I am unsure about your Gelbatteries, i dont use them really, since i know they are Valve regulated.
I did once a testrun, and could one charge up 0,01Volt, but the Newman gives pos and neg Spikes, not sure, how long they like that.
But my buyed Ni-MH Accus are not better, they are even more worse to charge then a normal Batterie.
