25-page build-and-test manual for a replicable SSG, written by volunteer moderators of the Yahoo group Bedini_Monopole3. It gives group policy (build exactly as directed before changing anything), a parts list (24-inch bicycle rim, 16 ceramic magnets, 3-inch spool wound with multiple parallel wires on cut welding-rod core, 2N3055/MJL21194 transistor, 1N4001/1N4007 diodes, 100 ohm resistor plus 1k potentiometer, NE-2 neon lamp, a primary and a charging 12 V lead-acid battery), construction and tuning steps (tune for highest wheel speed at lowest supply current; 1-ohm resistor test), and a testing protocol. The protocol: measure the 'conventional' current into the charging battery with an analog meter or a matched-bulb brightness method, then cycle a 3-7 Ah lead-acid battery through charge and constant-resistor discharge, and compute a 'battery COP' from joules in and out, at least 20 cycles. The text divides energy into 'Classical Electromagnetic' and 'Radiant Energy / Energy from the Vacuum', says the SSG 'isn't about electron current', and says a careful builder will see more energy leave the charged battery than entered it, which it calls proof 'something else is charging your battery'. It refers readers to Tom Bearden and Bedini-Bearden books and Tesla. Notable internal point: the text defines COP as work out / energy paid in, but the calculator table defines Battery COP as Input Joules / Output Joules (inverted), so as written a value above 1 would mean LESS energy out than in. [read] p.10-11. The test as described counts only the energy into the charge battery, explicitly not the primary battery's draw ('forget it for now'), so a COP above 1 on this basis does not measure total-system efficiency. [read] p.21 and p.5. No measured data are included in the document. Deep read of pp.19-24: the 1-ohm test is mainly a tuning check; its only number is at or below 1 V across about 1 ohm (about 1 A, 1 W in the resistor), and the claim that it shows 'two kinds of energy' is stated in words with no energy balance. The matched-bulb method equates equal brightness with equal power and tells the reader to 'forget' the primary battery's draw. The p.23-24 protocol compares only load times, explicitly ignores front-end energy consumption, uses one battery per arm and stops the SSG at the conventional charger's shutoff voltage, so it compares chargers and cannot measure total energy in versus out. The COP calculation divides output joules of the charge battery by the conventional power measured into it, not by the primary battery's drain. Footers say Version 1.00 on a V1.01 file; the COP spreadsheet formulas are not shown. [read: deep/ p.19-24]

Key claims

• A properly built and tuned Monopole SSG charges a battery by a mechanism other than conventional electron current from the primary battery.
• Measured with conventional meters on the charging battery alone, the energy delivered by the charged battery to a constant load exceeds the conventional energy measured entering it (battery COP above 1).
• Repeated SSG charging/discharge cycles improve the charging battery's load time, while conventional chargers lead to decreasing load time.
• The coil pulse 'opens the Bloch wall' in the magnet and pumps in zero-point energy.
• Ceramic (not neodymium) magnets and exact adherence to the build instructions are required to reproduce the effect.
• The 1-ohm resistor test (voltage across a 1 ohm resistor in place of the charge battery at or below about 1 V, resistor not hot) shows the SSG is tuned, and the manual says it shows that conventional energy is not enough to account for the observed charging (p.20).
• A conventional-charger comparison (two same-date new 3-7 Ah batteries, one charged by the SSG and one by a conventional charger, compare load times over repeated cycles) shows SSG-charged load time rising while conventional-charged load time falls (p.23-24).
• Brightness-matched flashlight bulbs, one replacing the charge battery and one on the primary through a potentiometer and ammeter, give the SSG output power as volts times amps (p.21).

Relevance: Primary replicable statement of the central Bedini claim and the only document in the folder with an explicit test protocol; also shows how the claim is framed to followers.

Mainstream conflict: Claims net energy gain (COP above 1 on the charge battery) and an external 'radiant/vacuum' energy input; conflicts with conservation of energy unless the measurement omits the primary-battery draw or mis-measures pulsed current. Pulsed spike current measured with an analog meter or by matched-bulb brightness is an unreliable measure of true power.

Commercial manual for a USB constant-current battery load tester (up to 40 A / 150 W, 48 V) that logs voltage versus time and amp-hours; the Pro version adds duty-cycle and constant-power tests, temperature graphing and amplifiers. The digest of all 29 pages shows safety notes, setup, test examples (a 2.2 Ah lithium-polymer pack measured at 2.347 Ah), menus, saving/printing and calibration, with no mention of Bedini or over-unity. Included in the folder presumably because group members use it to measure battery capacity objectively in SSG load tests (inference from folder context). [read: digest]

Key claims

• The CBA II measures battery capacity in amp-hours with a constant-current load and plots voltage versus time.

Relevance: Measurement tool relevant to a neutral test of the SSG battery claims; it does not itself make any Bedini claim.

Mainstream conflict: none

Saved web page telling of a 10 (or 12) year old girl's science-fair project, an 'all North Pole' pulsed motor with a 9 V battery driving about 4000 rpm and an LED generator coil. It states the motor ran 5 days (120 h) on one 9 V battery that was measured at 8.9 V before the start, drew 22 mA at 4000 rpm and 13.2 mA with the generator load. The page's own editor notes a 9 V transistor battery (about 400 mAh) would normally last only hours, and questions whether a slot-car motor drives the wheel. It adds that Bedini claims to have a motor sitting on the same batteries for 12 years. It gives a transistor schematic (MPS8099 or 2N3055, 10 ohm, 1N914) and says welding rods are cut to fill the coil core. The claims are second-hand and no end-of-test battery voltage, load data or independent witness report is given. [read] Arithmetic: 22 mA x 120 h = 2.64 Ah, far more than a 9 V alkaline transistor battery (roughly 0.4-0.6 Ah) holds, as the page's own 400 mAh figure shows [read]; that comparison is the claim's implication, and it depends on the battery staying usable or the motor being very low drain, neither documented here.

Key claims

• A pulsed all-North-pole motor ran for 5 days (120 h) on one 9 V battery at about 22 mA while also lighting an LED generator.
• The motor's current drew less (13.2 mA) when the generator load was attached.
• Anyone who builds the motor exactly as Bedini describes will get these results.

Relevance: Anecdotal origin of the 'schoolgirl' story and the low-current pulse motor lineage of the SSG.

Mainstream conflict: 22 mA for 120 h is 2.64 Ah drawn from a battery the page itself rates at about 400 mAh; if true as stated it implies unexplained energy. No audited data are given.

Two copies (800px and original) of one annotated schematic: 17-inch plastic bicycle wheel, 16 ceramic magnets, 3.5-inch spool with R60 welding rods, two MJ21194 transistor channels, a 1 kV 3A bridge rectifier and a top coil, noted 'Radiant Energy charging, US Patent 6,545,444', and 'Built, tested, filmed and reported by Rick Friedrich May 2007 ... Not to be posted on internet ... without permission from John C. Bedini'. Side notes claim the top coil outputs 40 V max and over 2000 V with S1 open, the primary battery recharges while powering everything, and a capacitor across the DC side 'significantly reduces effect'. These notes are assertions without measurements. [read: page image] Deep read transcribes notes 1-9. The only measured numbers are '40v max' (note 1) and 'over 2000v' (note 2), with no instrument named and no currents, battery-voltage trend or power. Rotor: 17-inch plastic bicycle wheel, 16 ceramic poles; S1 pulses once per rotation across R60 rods and a half-inch copper-pipe buss with a 5 mil gap; top coil 3.5-inch spool, #21 wire, 33.4 ohm, 1 kV 3 A bridge; two 4.2 Ah 12 V batteries. Since S2 is 'not used in video', notes 7 and 9 describe a modification not shown in the filmed run. [read: page image pp.1, 13]

Key claims

• With S1 open or pulsing, the top coil shows over 2000 V across the bridge and the primary battery is 'recharging between powering everything' (notes 1-2).
• 'Backpopping of primary takes place once every rotation or more to keep it in recharging mode always' (boxed note, not numbered).
• A switch S2 that disconnects the primary battery positive from the lower circuit while the top coil pulses 'improves rotation and charging significantly'; S1 and S2 are 180 degrees out of phase (notes 7 and 9). The drawing labels S2 'Not used in video'.
• A capacitor across the DC side of the bridge slows the rotor and significantly reduces the effect; the coil stores charge without one (note 5).

Relevance: Shows the self-running/primary-recharging variant of the SSG, the form most relevant to over-unity claims.

Mainstream conflict: A primary battery recharging itself while it powers a load would be a closed-loop energy gain; the page gives no measurement. Periodic switching of the primary battery out of the circuit (S2) is a switched-battery arrangement, not evidence of net gain.

SSG.jpg (p.12) is 'SSG NORTH POLE MOTOR (c) John Bedini, Charging off collector', copy-claimed by Badertscher Aug 20, 2005: 5 x #23 and 1 x #26 AWG, 300 ft each, twisted with a hand drill; BD243C transistor on a copper bus plate, an SCR (16R 1A80) path for large batteries, small 9 V, 12 V and 1.25 V cells as charge batteries. SCH-illust. 2coil 4inch.jpg (p.10) is 'John Bedini SSG replication' (icehouse.net/john34), copy-claimed Dec 30, 2005, with '150 feet twisted, 5-#18 AWG and 1-#22 AWG, 2 coils - sweet spot, 15V in at 2.2 amp, charging 0.3 amp out' and the redrawer's yellow label 'SCALAR ENERGY'. The 2.2 A is the primary-side input from a power supply, 0.3 A the charge-side current: with an assumed 12-13 V charge battery (not on the page) the output would be roughly 4 W against 33 W in (reviewer arithmetic, not a measured efficiency). This is the only primary-side current number in the folder and it points the conventional way; the page makes no numeric over-unity claim. [read: page image pp.3, 10, 12]

Key claims

• SSG.jpg: 'charging off collector': small batteries can be charged off a copper bus bar and large batteries through an SCR from the transistor collector circuit.
• SCH-illust: an SSG replication at its 'sweet spot' takes 2.2 A at 15 V from a power supply (about 33 W) and delivers 0.3 A of 'charging' current out; no output voltage or averaging method is given.

Relevance: Shows the SCR and capacitor 'charging off collector' variant and the only recorded input and charge currents in the folder (Claim 2 and 3a evidence, in the conventional direction).

Mainstream conflict: none stated on the pages; the 2.2 A in versus 0.3 A out record is consistent with ordinary losses. 'Scalar energy' is the redrawer's label.

• N-Pole-Motor-6b records 'CHARGING RESULT': SCR output 13.51 V, 0.8 A falling to 0.2 A charging current; five 1N4007 output 12.96 V, 1.0 A to 0.25 A (arrows unexplained; unverified reading).
• North Pole Motor 2 batts shows a motor pulse of about 7 V with a roughly 200 V spike.

Relevance: Early (1979-1984) energy-recovery motors that precede the SSG; p.8 and p.9 hold the only voltage and current figures on the N-pole sheets.
