This is probably a stupid question, but I'm new to all of this... I've never done anything like this before but it all seems interesting, so I chose a Bedini motor as my first project!
Anyways, I've tried hooking up everything as shown in some of the videos on this forum, but it seems like my coil isn't doing anything. The rotor seems to spin the same regardless of the circuit being powered on or off. I've also tried hooking up the coil by itself, and that doesn't seem to do anything either... I tried it using 3.3V and also a 9V battery, but nothing seems to work. Am I not providing enough power to the coil? Is it possible I have the wrong wire for the coil?
Also, is there a schematic somewhere that shows how to hookup the whole circuit with just a primary battery/power source? I'll probably be better off if I simplify everything as much as possible until I get everything working and improve my understanding of the whole circuit.
PS: My rotor is composed of a hard disk drive platter and 4 ferrite magnets.
