Abstract- This paper presents the performance comparison for 2
types of Bedini SSG free energy generator. The Bedini SSG is one
types of magnetic motor generators based on zero point
technology created and demonstrated by John Bedini. This
device acts as a self-battery charger. The study involved the
construction and performance of the original Bedini Monopole
Mechanical Oscillator SSG Energizer and 4-Pole Neodymium
Magnet Bedini SSG. This type of free energy generator can be
one of an alternative way to replace the non-renewable energy
sources that will run out in future. In this paper, the Battery’s
Coefficient of Performance (COP) for both designs will be
identified. Investigation and analysis were done for both types of
Bedini SSG. It was found that the replication design can charge
faster, had less power consumption and its COP improved by 8%
compared to the original design.
friendly to batteries[5]. Charging takes less energy input by far
than what is normally required, implicating radiant energy
infusion in the process[6]. This project conducted by initial
investigation and analysis for both types of Bedini SSG
design. Then, evaluation and comparison performance
between original Bedini SSG design and 4-pole Neodymium
magnet Bedini SSG which is the replication design were
conducted. This project focused on the construction to build
the original Bedini Monopole Mechanical Oscillator SSG
Energizer and 4-Pole Neodymium Magnet Bedini SSG
Replication. The performance for 4-Pole Neodymium Magnet
Bedini SSG replication free energy generator and original
design were determined in terms of COP.

applied to produce the energy without utilizes resources from
outside such as burning fossil fuels namely coal, petroleum
and natural gas[1]. Free energy also used to minimize the cost
of energy consumption[2]. The free energy generator is a
decent, powerful and well-looking topology that can give
benefit to human being. This free energy idea and concept
came from Nikola Tesla. Nowadays, this energy is
implementing by further research with many scientists and
researcher. One of the type’s free energy generators is Bedini
SSG.
Bedini simplified school girl (SSG) is the most basic Figure 1: Bedini SSG based on original design
rendition of a patented circuit developed by John Bedini and
researched by Dr. Peter A. Lindemann, based on the
technology of Nikola Tesla, with follow-up work by Edwin
Gray, Thomas H. Moray, and others[3]. This design is the
most basic presentation of the Bedini system. The circuit is
run by one battery as primary battery to produce mechanical
work like turning a wheel or rotor and the electricity that
consume to turning a rotor is recycled and capture into another
battery[4]. Basically, a feature of this device based on a very
simple design. It is also inexpensive in term of construction.
Other than that, this charger device also produce output that Figure 2: Bedini SSG replication design

END
Figure 3: Metthodology of Bedini SSG
In order to build a good SSG, there are many factors and
consideration that need to take into account so that it can run
and operate with smooth and optimum condition. Besides that,
the aim is to have the Bedini SSG generator running with the
minimum amount of current being consumed from the primary
battery and higher rpm[7].
C. Coil core
The coil core is metal rod that stuffed in the middle of the
coil winding. Normally, it stuffed with welding rod. Other
materials can also be used provided the rod compatible to
react with the magnet. If the materials retain any magnetism
when the magnet is taken away, then they are not suitable. If
both south and north attract to both core ends, then such core
is suitable.

A. Bedini Bifilar coil for SSG

Bedini bifilar winding is two winding wound on the spool

with parallel together. This winding is usually used in making
for a few types of winding for transformer[8]. There are two
names for winding wound on the spool together, one is trigger
coil and the other one is power coil. Both coil wire come in
form of Standard wire gauge (SWG) unit. This Bifilar winding
is one of the main parts that has to consider when built SSG.
This winding is important to produce electromagnet when Figure 6: Coil Core
connected to the SSG circuit.

 D. Rotor

It is worth noted that anything round and non-magnetic can

be used as a rotor[10]. For example, skate board wheels, with
a little grinding or machining of the rubber to accommodate
the magnets can make a good 3 or 4 pole rotors. Basically
smaller diameter, 3 or 4 pole rotors run at higher RPM and
draw less current like 6 pole rotor. This may be an important
consideration in keeping the current draw down, below the
critical battery C20 rate, on the smaller batteries[11]. In
addition, it is a wise precaution to wrap some kind of heavy
duty strapping tape with the little strings imbedded in it, or
even electrical tape around the perimeter of the rotor as a
back-up to gluing of the magnets in.

E. Battery

Battery is one of the important factors that have to be

considered in building SSG. In this project, lead acid battery is
chosen whereas it can charging and discharging[12]. Charging
will perform on charging battery side and discharging will
perform on primary battery side. Both charging and
discharging will perform simultaneously for both of Bedini
SSG.
Lead acid battery also important to determine the
coefficients of performance (COP) by discharge the charging
battery with load and recharge the charging battery of Bedini
SSG. The 3 to 7 amp hour (Ah) battery Lead-Acid batteries
are recommended and come in Sealed Lead-Acid (SLA)[12]. Figure 9: Schematic Circuit of Bedini SSG

recommended. When a magnets approach to coil, it induces a

transistor turns off. The coils magnetic field then collapses
which creates a high potential spike in the priimary coil that
goes through the charging battery[4].
IV. PERFORMANCE COMPARISON
N FOR BOTH
BEDINI SSG
Based on the results, it sho ow that the time taken for
replication design to charge less than
t the original design. This
is because the averages replication design revolution per
minute (RPM) is higher than original design. The small
diameter rotor size for replication design can produce high
RPM compared to large original design. As the rotor RPM is
higher, the rated of charging forf battery increased in one
period of time to charging the batttery.

Figure 12 shows the power that consumed to rotate the

rotor vs. power produced by the rotor. This graph shows that
power consumed by the replication design used less power
consumption compared to the oriiginal design. This is because
the torque that produced by replication design is less
compared to the original design n. Therefore, low torque can
reduce the power consumption for the battery.
Higher rotation can also trannsfer more power to charging
the battery. This is because the reeplication design used a large
combination of SWG diameter for f bifilar winding that is 24
for power coil and 22 for triigger coil that more lower
Figure 11: Graph voltage vs. time for replicaation design resistivity than combination SWG G used by the original design.
Therefore, the larger diameter of SWG, the lower their
resistance and the higher power transfer.
t This is based on the
formula below.

From table II and III, it show that both SSG achieve
COP >1. But, the COP from replication is much higher than
the original design. After 5 cycles, replication design can
achieve average COP of 1.43 and average COP for original
design is 1.32. Therefore, from analysis and determined COP,
it can be concluded that the 4-pole neodymium magnet Bedini
SSG free generator can absorb more power transfer in one
period of time compared to original design and also more
efficient than the original design.
V. CONCLUSION
As a conclusion, this project is a successful project and
full fills the objective requirement. 4-pole neodymium magnet
has successful improve on COP by 8%. Besides that, the
replication design also can charge faster than original design
and also had less power consumption. It is also can save 20%
cost of construction compared to the original design.
Therefore, it can be concluded that replication design
produced better performance compared to the original design.
