## About This Site

Papa Bale's Pulse Motors is the companion website to the YouTube channel "@MPHJR" run by Papa Bale, a self-taught DIY experimenter specializing in pulse motors, Bedini motors, magnetic induction motors, and free energy experiments.

Papa Bale fell in love with magnets at age 5, took a 30-year break from the hobby, and returned to build one of the most authentic and educational pulse motor channels on YouTube. The channel and this website document real, hands-on experiments with no gatekeeping — wins, failures, and everything in between.

## Core Topics Covered

### What Is a Pulse Motor?
A pulse motor is an electric motor driven by timed electrical pulses rather than continuous current. A trigger sensor detects approaching rotor magnets and fires a transistor, which sends a brief pulse through a coil, attracting the magnet and creating rotation. Key concepts: electromagnetic induction, transistor switching, back EMF recovery.

### Bedini Motor / Bedini SSG
The Bedini SSG (Simple School Girl) is the most famous pulse motor circuit, designed by inventor John Bedini (1947–2016). It uses a bifilar wound coil where one winding drives the motor and one triggers it. A single NPN transistor (typically 2N3055) handles switching. Back EMF spikes are recovered into a secondary battery through a diode. Self-triggering, no external sensor needed.

### Back EMF (BEMF) Recovery
When the transistor switches off, the collapsing coil magnetic field induces a high-voltage reverse spike — often many times the supply voltage. A recovery diode routes this spike to a secondary battery. This improves system efficiency by capturing energy otherwise wasted as heat. Does not violate thermodynamics; total energy in always exceeds total energy out.

### Wire Gauges for Coils
- 16AWG: thick, low resistance, high current, easy to wind, fewer turns — Papa Bale's choice for budget builds
- 20AWG: versatile middle ground, good for most 12V builds
- 22AWG: finer, more turns, higher inductance, bigger BEMF spikes
- Bifilar winding: two wires wound simultaneously for Bedini SSG trigger+drive configuration

### Transistors
- 2N3055: classic Bedini SSG pick, 15A, TO-3 package, robust
- TIP31C: budget beginner option, 3A, very cheap
- TIP35C: serious builds, 25A
- IRFP250N MOSFET: advanced option, fastest switching, highest efficiency

### Rotor Design
- Non-magnetic materials: MDF, PVC, plywood, acrylic, 3D-printed plastic, bicycle wheels
- Neodymium magnets (N35 or N42), evenly spaced, same pole facing outward
- 8 magnets is the most popular configuration
- Balance is critical; low-friction skateboard bearings recommended

### Free Energy / Overunity
Papa Bale takes an honest, grounded position: pulse motors do not produce free energy or violate thermodynamics. The apparent overunity effects are explained by battery surface charge phenomena, incomplete energy accounting, and the genuine (but bounded) efficiency of back EMF recovery. The hobby is valuable for its educational content, not for energy claims.
