== Summary ==<br />
<br />
'''John Bedini''' was an American electronics inventor and one of the more prominent figures in the late-20th-century free-energy community. He is best known for the '''Bedini monopole motor''' — a pulsed-DC motor / battery-charger configuration in which a small input current is claimed to recharge a battery faster than conventional energy accounting predicts. Replications produce reproducible electronic behaviour but the "over-unity" claim has not been confirmed under careful measurement.<br />
<br />
== Life ==<br />
<br />
Bedini was born in 1949 and trained as an electronics technician. He spent the 1970s in audio electronics, including work on amplifier design for the high-end audio market. From the 1980s onward he focused on energy-research devices, working with [[Thomas_Bearden]] and others in the free-energy community.<br />
<br />
He maintained Bedini Electronics (later Energenx) as a commercial entity selling electronics products and energy-research kits. He died in 2016.<br />
<br />
== Key Contributions ==<br />
<br />
=== Bedini monopole motor / battery charger ===<br />
<br />
The Bedini motor is a pulsed-DC rotor driven by a permanent-magnet system, with the back-EMF from each rotor pulse used to charge a secondary battery. Builders report that the secondary battery charges faster (and from less total input energy) than would be expected from conventional charge accounting.<br />
<br />
Mainstream evaluations find that the apparent "over-unity" behaviour reflects:<br />
<br />
* Battery measurement artifacts (battery voltage rebounds after pulsed-load operation, giving an inflated apparent charge state).<br />
* Asymmetric current measurement (input is conventional DC; output is pulsed, requiring careful integration of instantaneous power).<br />
* The radiant-energy harvesting from back-EMF spikes is real and is also predicted by conventional electromagnetic theory.<br />
<br />
The device thus functions as an interesting pulsed-DC system but does not establish an over-unity mechanism.<br />
<br />
=== School Girl Motor and educational kits ===<br />
<br />
Bedini's "School Girl Motor" was a simplified educational kit version of the monopole-motor concept, distributed widely in the energy-research community as a build-it-yourself demonstrator. The kit is reproducible by hobbyists and serves as an introductory project for many entering the field.<br />
<br />
=== Patents ===<br />
<br />
* US 6,545,444 B2 (2003) — "Device and method for utilizing a monopole motor to create back EMF to charge batteries."<br />
* US 6,392,370 B1 (2002) — "Device and method of a back EMF permanent electromagnetic motor generator."<br />
<br />
== Reception ==<br />
<br />
Bedini is treated by the free-energy community as a respected practitioner-inventor. Mainstream electronics treats his devices as ordinary pulsed-DC systems with no overunity capability but with educational value as demonstrators of battery-recharge effects from back-EMF spikes.<br />
<br />
In the [[Psionics|psionic framework]], Bedini's devices are not predicted to have any psionic-relevant function. The framework's position is that the devices are interesting electronics but not evidence of vacuum-energy extraction.<br />
