US6545444 — Device and Method for Utilizing a Monopole Motor to Create Back-EMF to Charge Batteries

US6545444 is one of three US patents abstracted in the source archive Bedini dossier, alongside US6392370 — Device and Method of a Back EMF Permanent Electromagnetic Motor Generator and US6677730 — Device and method for Pulse Charging a Battery. It is attributed to John C. Bedini and describes a monopole-motor configuration with a three-winding stator coil and a high-voltage recovery path.

The dossier links the patent PDF at [source note 1] and shows a figure image at [source note 2].

The description below is the patent's own account of the device. It is attributed to the patent, not stated as established fact.

Abstract (verbatim, as reproduced in the dossier)

"A back EMF monopole motor and method using a rotor containing magnets all of the same polarity and in a monopole condition when in momentary apposition with a magnetized pole piece of a stator having the same polarity, said stator comprised of a coil with three windings: a power-coil winding, a trigger-coil winding, and a recovery-coil winding. The back EMF energy is rectified using a high voltage bridge, which transfers the back EMF energy to a high voltage capacitor for storage in a recovery battery. The stored energy can then be discharged across the recovery battery through the means of a contact rotor switch for further storage."

Figure caption (verbatim)

"FIG. 1 is a perspective side view of a monopole back EMF motor with a single stator and a single rotor."

Key elements claimed by the patent

• Rotor magnets all of the same polarity, in a monopole condition against a same-polarity stator pole piece (Monopole Motor Configuration).
• Stator coil with three windings: a power-coil winding, a trigger-coil winding and a recovery-coil winding.
• A high-voltage bridge rectifier feeding a high-voltage capacitor.
• Storage in a recovery battery, discharged through a contact rotor switch.

Relationship to the other Bedini patents

The dossier presents US6545444 as part of a set.

• US6392370 — Device and Method of a Back EMF Permanent Electromagnetic Motor Generator — describes a stator of two bars connected by a permanent magnet with magnetized pole pieces, input and output coils, and a recovery rectifier or diode; it is the patent whose abstract carries the "regauging" wording (see Regauging). Also referred to as the two-bar stator configuration.
• US6677730 — Device and method for Pulse Charging a Battery — describes a two-phase solid-state battery charger in which a capacitor bank is disconnected from the input source and then pulse charged at high voltage into the battery. Also referred to as the pulse-charging patent.

Evidence status

The abstract is quoted directly from the dossier's reproduction of the patent. The dossier supplies no test data, energy-balance measurement or independent evaluation of the device. Under Patent as Evidence, the patent's description of a monopole motor that creates back EMF to charge batteries is a claim of the patent, not a demonstrated result. The inventor's own later statement that his systems "do NOT capture 'back EMF'" and that the patent language was an accommodation to the Patent Office is a further reason to keep the patent's wording attributed rather than adopted.
