can you post pictures ? I'm interested how to reliably connect motor to generator, a procedure for people with limited access to tools.

Hi Forest.
Some pics on page 19 of this thread.
So far,the tools needed to do the job are-hammer,5 inch grinder,a few sockets and ring spanners,and a drill.I didnt need to use my lathe this time.The whole idea was to do it with limited tool's,so as those with limited tool's could do it-just as you said.

If you can find one of these vibration machine's,you will have your motor with digital speed controller-this is what im useing,something similar to the ones in the link.

I now have the system up and running,and tuned to it's best performance. I have a 6.8 ohm 7 watt resistor as the load on the MOT secondary,and getting around .6 volt's across it,so a little over 3 watt's.

OK-the first supprise came when i hooked up the reactive circuit to the generator output. Not only did my P/in go down(quite a bit),but the generator/motor also sped up  -i would say a good 100 RPM,but yet to be confirmed.

But there is a bad side aswell,and that is what i thought might be the case.What power we gained over the load resistor,we lost about 4 times as much in the exciter(tank) circuit of the generator.So the 3 watt's from the reactive circuit dose consume power,and there is no doubt about that. But there is one more thing to check,and we'll do that via video's,so as you can have a look your self.
Should have the first one posted here tomorrow night-USA's morning.

Hi Luc,

As You requested, since I get little time left for experimentation, I have written a short 3-page pdf about what i call "Reactive Impulse". This will be my next area of research. Maybe You (or someone else) will find this interesting and beat me to implement it.

Thank you Hob for your pdf Report with circuit suggestion to be tested.

Hi TinMan and everyone,

you may have read that I've been saying this circuit is not creating energy. What I think is going on in this circuit is by causing a time delay between the TWO electricity components (voltage & current) you don't destroy the electricity (aka don't kill the dipole) by short circuit like typical everyday circuit we use.
When the electricity components are 90 degrees out of phase they can go through a circuit, do work and come back out with next to no losses if there is minimal resistance in the circuit.
However, you need something to receive the return and store it or convert it to something useful. I think this is what the Alternator Gen is doing. So timing is very important and I'm now starting to think that a permanent magnet alternator gen may not work as well as an exciter rotor field alternator gen like I've been using in my demos and now what TinMan is using.

Let me explain, for the past 3 days I've been busy converting a DC permanent magnet motor to an AC permanent magnet generator. It's a big job but I got it done and I was testing it last night and found the effect is not as obvious or as good as using an exciter field rotor generator.
When my series cap circuit is connected to this PM AC gen it's like something is out of timing!... I see the effect a little but it's like it's kind of having a fight inside the gen, like a motor out of timing. So I'm starting to think that the exciter rotor gen causes more of a delay then a PM gen and it could be this delay that makes the difference in helping the gen rotor to be pushed at the right time when the reactive power is returned.

More tests need to be done but I though I would share this new information.

Gotoluc, have you considered trying an RC model brush-less motor? They make good AC generators as well. you can pair up a couple one mover/driver the other generator. They typically use speed controllers (PWM) to drive them. 3 wire output.

I was thinking that the magnet to coil angles might be off thus your dilema.
