Note: This is not the same thing as Bedini's old flip-flop circuit controller. It is vastly different in many different aspects. For instance his claim of sling-shotting ions in the electrolyte of a battery with high voltage in order to oscillate them and therefore draw in energy from the enviroment and produce free current does not hold true here.
I must iterate, here the controller is similar but not exactly the same and serves a completely different purpose. It is NOT used to pulse the battery with high voltage.
The reason for the the flip flop in this particular scenario is just in case you are using Hall Commutating or some other type of commutating in which there is only one power wire in the motor coil. If that is the case then this circuit is perfect for separating the power (out and away) from the circuit so there is no conflicts in currents, like currents flowing backwards and producing an unwanted discharge of the battery. In this way power can be pulse discharged from the capacitor and dumped back into it's own battery. Notice that two opto-couplers are being switched on and off alternately to switch two different solid state relay switches that they are part of.
If using Bedini's bifilar or even trifilar coil configuration, then power can be separated out and away with the use of the trifilar directly back to it's own battery or another battery, then there is no need for a capacitor.
The purpose of the flip flop here is somewhat similar to Bedini's circuit in that one side of the flip flop disconnects the motor from the battery while the other side connects the alternator, generator, magneto, energizer, or whatever you wish to call it, back to it's own source, only if you're using a switching scheme in which there is only one wire, the power wire. In this way power can be sent back to the one and only battery.
Really, there was no need for a flip flop or mechanical switch on the shaft of bedini's original motor/generator in his 1984 book. Why? There's no point. You won't get a self charging battery because you're slamming the battery with high voltage, all that does is destroy the battery. And if you ever do find the frequency of the ions in the battery, well congratulations, because I have never seen anything like that ever, after trying hundreds of times, it's pointless.
In reality all that had to be done in that motor/generator is simply have a 555 timer or just one mechanical switch on the shaft to dump the capacitor back to the same battery running everything, and that's it. If there is more power being generated than what the motor consumes, then the battery will charge up. That particular device didn't have to have the motor disconnected from the battery as it was receiving back a power pulse from the energizer. Not only that, but there were no rectifying diodes on those coils if you go back and look carefully at his book "Free Energy Generator". There was only a variable capacitor, so the timing would be much more difficult to obtain,
Bedini's claim was that the lead ions inside of the lead acid battery could be slammed with a high voltage from a capacitor to oscillate the ions. So because of the oscillating ions this would draw in current from the ambient environment. I'm sorry this is a far fetched theory, and has never worked for me and a lot of others. Bedini made no mention of what the purpose of the capacitor was in that diagram in his book. What he forgot to mention was it's not only high voltage coming out of that capacitor, but it is high current as well! He forgot to mention that the current does indeed come from the capacitor.
The capacitor is a high voltage device and is like a lightning holder of sorts. It is very similar to a battery, in that it holds voltage in between it's plates as a static field, with very little current, but guess what? When that high voltage is released, there is a huge voltage drop, just like a battery when a battery is discharged, it's voltage lowers as we draw current from it. So the huge voltage drop in the capacitor leads to a huge CURRENT rise out of the capacitor. And so this is a much more logical approach as to where the current actually comes from.
It's real simple. For instance if you're on your cell phone at the exact same time that you are charging it, it will charge up at the same time that you are using it. Plain and simple. If you are generating more energy than what is being consumed, you will get a battery that charges itself, not because you are oscillating ions in a battery. What a gimmick that was.
The ONLY reason I can see for using a switch like that to disconnect the battery from the motor is to conserve battery power, not to cause ions to slingshot into oscillation. Even disconnecting power from a battery will cause the rotor to slow down a little bit, even if you manage to eradicate the Lenz's Law drag completely, the rotor will still slow down slightly just because it was temporarily disconnected from the battery. So by the time it reconnects it, the current draw will have gone up and the rotor will have to spin back up to it's highest momentum. I do have to say I believe Bedini was right in having plenty of mass in the so called fly-wheel, which I am just calling a rotor. In that way momentum can be maintained and the rotor will have a harder time slowing down.
So in essence, the flip flop is used here for three things. A) To get the power separated out and away from the power wire and switching circuitry, but only if using a motor coil with only one single winding. This then is used to send power back to the one and only battery. B) The consequence of this is the advantage of conserving battery power in intervals or intermittently. C) When the motor is disconnected from the battery so that the battery can receive back a pulse of current from the high voltage stored in the capacitor, the motor coils then become generator coils! So then it is necessary to have a full wave bridge rectifier, so when that motor coil does become a generator coil, then all possible power can be harnessed.
So here's the sequence: The flip flop disconnects the motor from the battery, conserving power, while simultaneously receiving a power pulse not only from what the capacitor stored from the generator coils when it was connected but now from all coils including the motor coil that has been shut off and now is a generator coil. All AC is then rectified from motor and generator coils with two full wave bridge rectifiers, one to catch the collaspsing field when during the pulse off phase of the motor coil itself, and to also rectify AC when it becomes a generator, and another one connected to all other generator coils.
This is how you would hook up a motor and generator to each side of the flip flop circuit.
