Shorting coil gives back more power

[romerouk]

When the coil is shorted at the right peak time the coil sends back lots of power.

Hey Romero

I had found this idea on YT some time ago and tried it.  It does increase the output compared to normal gen function.  BUT, it does load down the rotor motion more with shorting.  But with recent developments, my attn is if the higher V can be disharged into the rotor drive coil to get a self runner.  Im just really getting into HV discharges, so now it seems logical.  ;]

Even if I leave the coil shorted all the time it is not slowing down the rotor. The magnets on the rotor are not aligned in a standard mode.I will post some more videos with the rotor off too.

Very cool Romero, no drag?   I didnt rewatch my vid but I think it had shown the drag I was referencing.

Below is the circuit used to do the test.
