John Bedini is up to mischief again, but mischief of the
kind we all seem to hunger for...<g>...he sent an
interesting video which I have now posted along with some
stills showing a motor built by a 10 year old girl and
entered in several science fairs to win prizes.
Though I don't know if this motor ever ran down, John says
it ran for 5 days and powered an LED, all from a 9VDC
transistor as the single power source.
He just sent more details which I added to the original file
which is all now posted at;
http://www.keelynet.com/bedmot/bedmot.htm
along with the page at his site which gives the details on
how to build such a motor. These Gravity field motors got
John and his brother in a lot of trouble back in the 1980's
I believe when they were both warned NOT to sell them.
You'll have to get the story from him but he chose rather
than risk problems to just shut up. It is only in the last
few years with Internet that he decided to create his own
website and post his plans for free so that anyone could
experiment with them and they could be copied by many.
John says often people try to build the motors, but they
always decid on making changes in the design since they
don't truly understand how it can work as designed...those
changes defeat the original results and people go away
frustrated, saying the motor plans are bogus.
As John points out, his best success comes from kids who
follow the plans exactly, without using their 'learned
knowledge'.
