US6392370 is one of three US patents abstracted in the source archive Bedini dossier. It is attributed to John C. Bedini and describes the base configuration of the Bedini Motor/Generator/Charger family.
Abstract (verbatim, as reproduced in the dossier)
"This invention is a back EMF permanent electromagnetic motor generator and method using a regauging process for capturing available electromagnetic energy in the system. The device is comprised of a rotor with magnets of the same polarity; a timing wheel in apposition to a magnetic Hall Effect pickup switch semiconductor; and a stator comprised of two bars connected by a permanent magnet with magnetized pole pieces at one end of each bar. There are input and output coils created by wrapping each bar with a conducting material such as copper wire. Energy from the output coils is transferred to a recovery rectifier or diode. The magnets of the rotor, which is located on a shaft along with the timing wheel, are in apposition to the magnetized pole pieces of the two bars. The invention works through a process of regauging, that is, the flux fields created by the coils is collapsed because of a reversal of the magnetic field in the magnetized pole pieces thus allowing the capture of available back EMP energy. Additional available energy may be captured and used to re-energize the battery, and/or sent in another direction to be used as work. As an alternative, the available back EMF energy may be dissipated into the system."
Key elements
- Rotor magnets all of the same polarity (Monopole Motor Configuration).
- Hall-effect pickup switch semiconductor for timing.
- Two-bar stator joined by a permanent magnet, with magnetized pole pieces.
- Input and output coils wound on each bar.
- Recovery rectifier or diode on the output.
- The claimed mechanism is Regauging — collapsing coil flux fields by reversing the pole-piece magnetic field.
Note on terminology
The patent uses "back EMF" throughout. Bedini later stated in the dossier's forum posts that the term was adopted because it was "the only claim the Patent Office would accept," and that the actual effect is what he calls Radiant Reactive Power. The dossier does not reconcile the two descriptions.
