The Kromery Convertor / Free Electricity
by John Bedini, Eike Mueller, and Tom Bearden
Tom Bearden
John Bedini has a prototype free energy motor.
Imagine having a small D.C. electrical motor sitting on your
laboratory bench powered by a common 12 volt battery. Imagine
starting with a fully charged battery and connecting it to the motor
with no other power input. Obviously, the motor is go ing to run off
the battery, but by conventional thinking it will stop when the battery
runs down.
It isn't running by the conventional wisdom of electrical physics.
It isn't running by the conventional rules of electric motors and
generators, but it is running.
And it isn't something complex. It's pretty simple, once one gets the
hang of the basic idea.
Impossible, you say. Not at all. That's precisely what John Bedini has
done, and the motor is running now in his workshop.
It's running off the principles of electromagnetics that
Nikola Tesla discovered shortly before 1900 in his Colorado Springs
experiments. It's running off the fact that pure empty vacuum - pure
"emptiness", so to speak, is filled with riv ers and oceans of seething
energy, just as Nikola Tesla pointed out.
It's running off the fact that vacuum space-time itself is nothing
but pure massless charge. That is, vacuum has a very high electrostatic
scalar potential - it is greatly stressed. To usefully tap the enormous
locked-in energy of that stress, all one has to do is crack it sharply
and tap the vacuum oscillations that result. The best way to do that
is to hit something resonant that is imbedded in the vacuum, then
tap the resonant stress of the ringing of the vacuum itself.
In other words, we can ring something at its resonant frequency and,
if that something is imbedded in the vacuum, we can tap off the
resonance in vacuum stress, without tapping energy directly from the
embedded system we rang into oscillation. So what we really need is
something that is deeply imbedded in the vacuum, that is, something that
can translate the "vacuum" movement into "mass" movement.
Well, all charged particles and ions are already imbedded in the
vacuum by their charged fluxes, so stressed oscillations - that is,
vacuum oscillations - can be converted into normal energy of mass
movement by charged particles or ions, if the sy stem of charged
particles or ions is made to resonate in phase with our tapping
"potential". For our purpose, let's use a system of ions.
First we will need a big accumulator to hold a lot of the charged ions
in the system that we wish to shock into oscillation. We need something
that has a big capacitance and also contains a lot of ions.
An ordinary battery filled with electrolyte fits the bill nicely.
While it's not commonly known, ordinary lead-acid storage batterys have
a resonant ionic frequency, usually in the range of from 1 - 6 Mhz.
All we have to do is shock -oscillate the ions in the electrolyte at
their resonant frequency and time our "trigger" potential and "siphon"
circuit correctly. Then if we keep adding potential to trigger the
system we can get all that "potential" to translate into "free
electrical energy".
Look at it this way. Conventionally "electrostatic scalar
potential" is composed of work or energy per columb of charged particle
mass. So if we add potential alone, without the mass flow, to a system
of oscillating charged particles, we add "physica l energy" in the
entire charged particle system. In other words, the "potential" we add
is converted directly into "ordinary energy " by the imbedded ions in
the system. And if we are clever we don't have to furnish any pushing
energy to move pure po tential around. (For proof that this is
possible, see Bearden's Toward a New Electromagnetics; Part IV; Vectors
and Mechanisms Clarified, Tesla Book Co., 1983, Slide 19, Page 43, and
the accompanying write-up, pages 10, and 11. Also see Y. Aharonov an d
V. Bohm, "Significance of Electromagnetic Potentials in the Quantum
Theory", Physical Review, Second Series, Vol. 115, No. 3, Aug. 1, 1959,
pages 485-491. On page 490 you will find that it's possible to have
a field-free reigon of space, and still have the potential determine
the physical properties of the system.)
Now this "free energy resonant coupling" can be done in a simple,
cheap system. You don't need big cyclotrons and huge laboratories to do
it; you can do it with ordinary D.C. motors, batteries, controllers and
trigger circuits.
And that's exactly what John Bedini has done. It's real. It
works. It's running now on John's laboratory bench in prototype form.
But that's not all. John is also a humanitarian. He's as concerned
as I am for that little old widow lady at the end of the lane,
stretching her meager Social Security check as far as she can, shivering
in the cold winter and not daring to turn up her furnace because she
can't afford the frightful utility bills.
That's simply got to change and John Bedini may well be the fellow who
changes it. By openly releasing his work in this paper, he is
providing enough information for all the tinkerers and independent
inventors around the world to have at it. If he can get a thousand of
them to duplicate his device, it simply can't be supressed as so many
others have been.
So here it is. John has deliberately written his paper for the
tinkerer and experimenter, not for the scientist. You must be careful,
for the device is a little tricky to adjust in and synchronize all the
resonances. You'll have to fiddle with it, but it will work. Keep at
it.
Also, we warn you not to play with this unless you know what you are
doing. The resonating battery electrolyte produces hydrogen, and if you
hit it to hard with a "voltage spike" you can get an electrical spark
inside the battery. If that happens,
THE BATTERY WILL EXPLODE, so don't mess with it unless you are
qualified and use the utmost caution.
But it DOES work. So all you experimenters and pioneers, now's your
chance. Have at it. Build it. Tinker with it. Fiddle it into resonant
operation. Then lets build this thing in quantity, sell it widely, and
get those home utilities down to where w e can all afford them -
including the shivering little old lady at the end of the lane.
And when we do, lets give John Bedini, and men like him the credit and
appreciation they so richly deserve.

[Note: John Bedini developed Two kinds of controller devices. One,
being very simple, is the one I will present here. The other is quite a
bit more complex, and would be impossible for me to reproduce here...
Anyway if you want to see the all electro nic controller, get the book
"Bedini's Free Energy Generator" by John C. Bedini, Published by the
Tesla Book Co. 1580 Magnolia Ave., Millbrae, CA 94030.]
For some time man has been looking for different ways to generate
electricity. He has used water power, steam power, nuclear power, and
solar power. Recent papers written by Tom Bearden make a free
energy generator possible. Tom Bearden, rather than patent his
devices, chose to share them with people who had open ears. I myself
have had many conversations with Tom Bearden. He found Tom to be
one of the most reasonable men he had ever dealt with in this energy
field. Most others woul d tell you stories of great machines they
had, but would never present the truth with circuit diagrams or a
look at the machine in question. Tom, on the other hand, clearly
presents his ideas and clearly presents his ideas and discloses the
concepts by means of which they work.
The facts I am about to present to you about free energy were never put
into textbooks, only portions were. The textbooks have grounded people
in conventional theory and made things very complicated. What I am
about to explain is very simple; anyone can understand this theory
and anyone who understands what he is doing can build this device.
I have been grounded in conventional theory for some eleven years.
I have always tried to study the simplicity of electrical
circuits, but my mind wouldn't allow this because of my orthodox
training. In any event, I had to change the way i was looking at
things. I started to wonder, why do we need to have things so
complicated? The truth of the matter is, we have been taught to consume
or waste energy at every turn in our lives, so we jump into our cars,
turn on lights, etc. In other words, we have been conditioned to waste
energy and fuels lavishly, not realizing that someday someone will
sky-rocket our energy bills to a point where we will not be able to
pay for these fuels. Everything will come to a stand-still. But la ugh
as you will, at that time Rube Goldberg machines will power your
future. It probably will not be uncommon to see machines from the size
of garbage cans to the size of two story apartment houses powering
everything in sight. These machines will be using a force in nature
never conceived by the conventionally trained mind of today.
The theory I am about to explain to you will bring you one step
closer to gaining free energy.
To begin my story I must state I had a vision - looking for this
energy. Many times I hammered my head into the ground, but I refused to
give up in my search. Any person with a dream should never let it be
wasted by fools, who will always say "you can't do that". All that
statement really means is that they do not know how to do it.
There are many different ways to explain this theory. I will
discuss the first one now.
The device is very simple and uses a motor, a generator, a controller
switch, and a battery. Basically, we drive a direct current motor with
pulsed current from a battery, then utilize a special means to cause the
battery to recharge itself.
Let's begin by stating certain facts. The ions move backwards under
charging conditions and in reverse under discharging conditions. So here
we start our new concept. Suppose we have constructed a machine that has
tricked this battery into a different space and time relationship.
Simply put, suppose the battery never did any work and it should have
its full charge left in it. Suppose this becomes possible because we
have stressed the terminals in such a way that the ions in the battery
electrolyte actually move themselves backwards. The machine, or unit,
that makes this possible h as many different names. Some people call
these units generators, energizers, alternators, etc. Conventionally
such devices have one thing in common; they stress the battery backwards
by pushing electricity into the battery and forcibly pushing the ions i
n the electrolyte backwards. In our theory, we are not going to push
anything - the ions are going to move themselves, recharging the
battery.
If we go a little deeper into this theory, you are probably asking
yourself, "what is this madman talking about?" Simply put, we are going
to put a stress on the battery terminals for a moment in time and the
battery will do the rest. Now comes the heavy part of this theory. What
they didn't teach you in textbooks is that, in order for the battery to
charge, two oscillatory actions must occur, one at the positive terminal
and one at the negative terminal. Under different stress levels this
then forces the ions backwards. The same would occur for an electron.
Our machine will slingshot ions in the battery electrolyte backwards
beyond the normal recoil action.
I must give a very stern warning at this time that if the voltage
developed is too high the battery will explode. Use the utmost care.
Test setups in my lab have proven that this can be dangerous. Do not
build the device and experiment with it unless yo u know what you are
doing, and use the utmost caution.
When struck by a sharp voltage spike, the electrolyte in the battery
will resonate at a certain frequency and this can also force the ions
backwards. Simply put, the battery, the motor, and the energizer will
become resonant at some point, "ring" like a bell when we "strike" it,
and in its ringing the most energy will be developed.
[Note: sorry I can't produce waveforms here so get the book! I will
present the explanation here, however]
The battery is really charging itself. The ions in the electrolyte are
being stressed in a curved space and time relationship, the battery is
actually forced into believing that no work ever occured. The
oscillatory action that has taken place by the en ergizer has just
pulsed our "slingshot" and immediately let go. Once this has happened,
the electrolyte in the battery goes wild and the ions race backwards,
giving off hydrogen and oxygen gas. I must make a stern warning here!
The time of the stimulaing pulse is very important. If the time is to
long the battery will burn itself out. If the pulse time is too short or
if the circuit fails to operate correctly, the battery will never
recover its charge. Taking this into consideration, the only failures
tha t could occur would be the controller failure due to a points
faiulre (on the electronic controller), or the multivibrator latched in
the "on" position (again, only on the electronic controller). Anyone
studying this can see that we have used very little energy to get to
this point, and gained a lot of resonant energy in return.
We must remember that, if the battery is applied to the energizer
longer than normal, we must burn up the excess energy to keep the
battery cool. The problem now becomes one of embarrassing excess of
energy, not a shortage.
The energizer is also a simple machine, but if yu want to, you can
make it very complex. The simple way is to study the alternator
principles. The waves we want to generate are like those that came from
old D.C. generators with the exception of armature drag, bearing drag,
and no excited fields. Also, we would want to cut the magnetic fields at
90 degress to the armature. The simpler the better.
I am going to throw a few ideas your way. I have run some tests in my
lab and discovered that certain types of energizers, generators, and
alternators do what we need. Also, we want to be able to tune the output
of our energizer. The old D.C. generator puts out something very close
towhat we need, except for The drag.
In an A.C. generator output we are going to see just what we
manufacture. It would appear that this leaves this generator out. Not
really, because we can make this generator's output change by rectifying
it.
In looking at the A.C. generator with rectified output, we see that it
could become very useful to us as an energizer, simply because it is the
easiest to construct and its principles are simple. I have done
experiments with an A.C. generator using ALL N. alligned magnets, and
rectified. Most people can see that that type o alternator might have
some problems. However, remember that I am looking for a certain type of
wave form that I want to tune to a certain frequency at a certain speed.
The winding of this alternatr is a problem and it is a bit tricky, but I
chose to stay with this unit. You may choose a different method if you
retain the principle. The type of energizer that was used for the
prototype was a standard office type 2-speed A.C. fan housi ng. The
coils were replaced with 6 coils of approx. 200 turns of #20 wire - all
in phase. Six permanent magnets are bonded to an aluminum disc. This
arrangement is basically a magneto, but will produce more amperage than
ordinarily expected of a magneto.
Controller Construction: Figure 2 shows the controller. It should be
made of two coencentric circles, one with approx. 140 degrees of copper,
the other, spaced far enough from the first for a brush to be inserted
between them, a full 360 degrees of copper . Provisions should be made
to rotate the brushes in relationship to each other in order to secure
the required timing.

John Bedini found that the material generally available concerning
Kromery's Converter had been altered. Rebuilding the Kromery Converter
from the patent papers ended up in a non-functioning device. Bedini
found the necessary modifications which made this machine perform.
Our first goal was to determine the converters efficiency. We
found this to be quite difficult as the efficiency changes with
the load applied.
Figure K-1 shows the first setup we used. We drove the Kromery
Converter from a 12v motorcycle battery. We connected at the output
of the converter a condenser and a rectifier bridge in parallel.
The rectified current was then put b ack into the motorcycle
battery. To detect any current flow, we connect into the positive
line a 12 V light bulb.
The result of this test was the light bulb was lit up. However after 15
minutes the batrery voltage had dropped from 11.05 V to 9.10 V.
The speed of the converter was stabale at 1020 rpm.
In the next test we introduced a seperate battery (battery #2) for
charging from the converter.
We recharged the battery #2 from 12.30 V to 12.40 V within 4 minutes,
and we measured a current flow into the battery #2 of 0.8 amperes.
Because the kromery
converter ran too slow on one 12 V battery, we decided to drive the
converter using 24 V via tw o 12 V batteries, connected in series.
Next we wanted to find a correlation between the normal charging of
battery #2 using a commercial battery charger, and charging this same
battery with the Kromery converter. We drained the battery #2 to 8 V,
connected it to the Kromery Converter, and af ter reaching 11.51 V, we
measured the time it took to charge the battery from this voltage level
of 11.51 V to 12.45 V. We reached this voltage (12.45 V) after 11
minutes. The indicated current into the battery was 0.94 A.
We then repeated these steps using the commercial battery charger.
Because we ran out of time after nearly 2 hours, we disconnected the
battery from the charger. The battery voltage had reached 12.41 V. The
measurement is depicted in Figure K-3.
THE BATTERY CHARGER NEEDED 119 MINUTES
TO RAISE THE BATTERY VOLTAGE FROM 11.51 V TO 12.41 V
THE KROMERY CONVERTER NEEDED 11 MINUTES
TO RAISE THE BATTERY VOLTAGE FROM 11.51 V TO 12.45 V
NOTE: The charger could not fill up the batteries
to 12.45 volts within two hours.
We wanted to find a correction factor for the Kromery Converter by
comparing the same effect, i.e. the charging of the same battery
from one specific voltage to another specific voltage. The calculation
of this factor is avilable in the book "E xperiments with a Kromery and
a Brandt-Tesla converter built by John Bedini" By Eike Mueller, with
Comments by Tom Bearden. Table K-1 shows the combined test results.
Because we detected an increase in the speed of the Kromery
Converter as well as a decrease in the input energy when we increased
the output load, we decided to measure the input energy and speed
when the output was shorted. Again, the input energy dropped and the
speed increased.
Using the earlier determined correction factor of 5.535 we
calculated the energy they put into the battery to 56.78 watts (from
10.26 * 5.535). Looking at Table K-1 we see that it takes only 54.78
watts to run the Kromery Converter when the outpu t is shorted. This
result led us to continue with theese tests and load the converter
output even more. The results of these tests can be seen in Table K-2.
Here again, we detected that we would get a higher efficiency of
the total device, the more we load down the output side. This
effect is totally contradictory to the conventional laws of physics.
We used the Kromery correction factor for the First case, when we had
connected the battery to the converter output. We did not use this
factor in both other cases when we used resistors in the output circuit.
The above test results show that the efficiency of the Kromery
Converter is well above 100%.
