This is for the fella who asked for more information on the youtube video. This is how Tom laid out the components on the matrix board. Of course the circuit diagram to accompany this is with the kit. (Personally as someone who is very new to electronics and the hands on experience, I would find this useful myself...) The matrix board as drawn is of course seen in the youtube videos
You mentioned that the fan motor wasn't working for yourself. Well it's either this bit , ie the circuitry part or the disassembly and reassembly of the fan itself with the correct wiring.....I sit and watched while Tom soldered the matrix/circuit board part within half an hour or so. The fan disassembly and reassembly was the hard bit. Tom had to make a little gadget for replacing the circlip on the fan motor itself. Very fiddly it was too !!
In a few weeks time we'll take apart the fan motor again and try and indicate the how Tom did the wiring. I hadn't appreciated when I bought the fan that it was a proprietary product whose inner workings had to be rejigged, ie the circuit board part of it disconnected - BUT still used as a mechanical spacer...more on this in few weeks, including the little gadget Tom Hackett made for the circlip fiddling around on the fan motor...
........................
Next week Tom is taking order of an oscilloscope. We need this to measure stuff for the SSG motor and hopefully we will then have the credentials to join the Bedini SSG research group ......
As per usual, constructive comments are very welcome....
Hi Simon and Tom,
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your experiences. I am trying to get the fan kit working - but I have not had the success yet. I have compared my circuit to the one you posted; and it appears identical. I am hoping that I did something wrong inside the fan. I look forward to seeing the what you did inside the fan.
Thank you in advance.
Thank Ratt, we are hopefully taking it partially apart later on tomorrow. It would have been better to have videoed it as Tom was wiring it but that's life :-) Simon
