Sorry, I didn't specify the setup.  When I say "output power" I am referring to capturing the coil current discharges into a charging battery.

The power measurement would be displayed on the digital multimeter.  You set your digital multimeter to measure DC volts but what you will see on the display is input or output watts.  It's just a little "trick" and tricks are fun.

For a pulse motor, I almost never think about the mechanical output power.  The torque is very weak and how often do we see people using the mechanical output power from a pulse motor?  The line from the Bedini enthusiasts that say "when you factor in the mechanical output power from the motor you get over unity" is nonsense.

To be sober and a realist for a second, most pulse motors are just built for the fun of building them.  They are super inefficient battery chargers and if you want to desulfate a battery with inductive current pulses you may as well do that all solid state - that will be way more efficient.

Need some new project ideas?

Haha, very good setup, no wonder its 15 million views.

I'm not going to answer your "mystery circuit" with the gain-controlling feedback loop....   

But I am going to link this new video showing the start and stop strobe LED effects. I was too lazy to build the 556 dual pulse shortener so I just put in a DPDT switch instead, and you can see the two strobes sequentially instead of simultaneously.

That clip was so awesome that I almost had a seizure!  lol  When you moved the sense coil and you could see the the strobe tracking of the sense coil movement, it was uber awesome.  We went from my head to your build and we skipped the napkin!  (You get full credit for starting/trailing strobes!)

über fantastisch!
