A Bedini motor (Bedini SSG / Simple School Girl) is the most documented pulse-motor-style circuit in the hobby. If you searched for a Bedini motor, Bedini SSG, or how the Bedini circuit self-triggers — this is the guide.
Core idea
A bifilar coil: one winding drives, one triggers. A single NPN transistor switches drive current. Back-EMF routes through a diode into a secondary battery.
Why it's popular
- Self-triggering (no separate Hall sensor required)
- Huge community documentation
- Great for learning mutual inductance and recovery
Caution
SSG does not create energy from nothing. Treat battery readings carefully (surface charge). Measure with discipline.
