Tesla Bifilar Coil patent - Bedini Bifilar Coil usage in Schoolgirl Radiant Motor Charging devices
Submitted by esaruoho on February 13, 2008 - 07:39A couple of websites will talk about the Bedini system using Bifilar coils. Coming at this from a 0 knowledge angle, I really needed to find out what this all was about. Here are a couple of mentions. What really struck me whilst reading up on John Bedini's Bifilar Coil setups in his schoolgirl battery energizer machines, was that when i did find information on the Bifilar Coil, it was a patent of Tesla's that I had printed out months and months ago, "Coil for Electro-magnets". But what does that mean, unless if it is quantified by a couple of writeups from various sites? here:

Submitted by cybe on October 10, 2006 - 22:37Researchers in Italy have high hopes for a new wind-power generator that resembles a backyard drying rack on steroids. Despite its appearance, the Kite Wind Generator, or KiteGen for short, could produce as much energy as a nuclear power plant.

The Chispito Wind Generator
Submitted by cybe on August 29, 2006 - 07:29The Chispito Wind Generator was designed to be simple and efficient with fast and easy construction. There are no limits to what you can do with wind power. There is nothing more rewarding and empowering than making a wind powered generator from scrap materials. Most of the tools and materials in this manual can be found in your local hardware shop

Windaus Vertical Axis Wind Turbine
Submitted by cybe on November 18, 2005 - 13:40via OSEN - http://www.opensourceenergy.org/C17/News%20Viewer/default.aspx?ID=1103
Windaus Energy Inc. has developed prototypes of a vertical-axis wind turbine and are looking for places to install working demos.
Earlier this year, Windhaus Energy Inc. announced prototypes of a new vertical-axis wind turbine. The device and its transmission system is said to be the first 3-vane helical concept. According to Windhaus, the design relies on torque rather than speed, and many benefits could be derived from this type of operation. The company has yet to complete any formal field-testing for commercial application, but some limited testing has been done. And it’s scoping out places to install working demos.

=============
From an announcement they sent out earlier this year:
Designed and manufactured by Windaus, this device and the attendant transmission system is the first three-vane helical concept to our knowledge. Some limited testing has been done by the company but no formal field-testing for commercial application has yet been completed.
The prototypes are mounted with the larger models on wheeled trailers.
The properties inherent to our design do not allow the outer edge of the vanes to exceed wind speed. They are virtually silent. They are not intimidating. The design relies on torque rather than speed, and many benefits are derived from this concept. Also, most of the "working parts" are housed at the base of the frame, facilitating easy maintenance and simple upgrades. Its operation mitigates many challenges facing conventional horizontal-axis turbines.
Specifications are available on their website, including output, torque, power output. As other people have pointed out, there are some disadvantages to this style of turbine, but there are also some advantages. It looks far more suitable for local micro power than mega wind farms.

"So our goal here is to design a new aircraft that does not run on the usual combustion technology. But on the energy of the wind, by producing stable vortices that can produce lift from the centrifugal acceleration of air."
