My crazy project

[picowatt]

What do you see when a scope probe (10X) is touched to the laminations?
--> I see chaos-will post screen shot today.

Tinman,

Thanks for fixing the schematic...

I now have all three stators stacked together(all isolated),as in first picture. The top and bottom stator are in series,and pulsing a north field on outside perimeter. The center stator is fireing 180* out of phase with the top and bottom stator,and is fireing a south field on the outside perimeter.The center stator is fired via a pnp transistor,which is triggered by the SG.The outer stators are fired up via an NPN transistor,and the signal to the base is from the inductive kickback from the center stator. So as the center stator switches off,the two outer stators switch on.

The scope shot below show the traces across a 10 ohm resistor on each probe.The ground of both probes are on the bottom stator core.The blue trace(probe) is on the center core,and the yellow trace(probe) is on the top core. The scope is isolated from ground(grid),via the UPS.

Test point schematic.

There is enough power from the three cores to drive 100 LED's.
please note-all 3 cores are electrically isolated.

When you say "electrically isolated" you are talking about a continuity test: Low voltage DC from your ohmmeter, right? Do you have a "highpot" tester? Are you working at high frequencies?

There is "isolation" and there is true isolation. It is inevitable that your windings and your cores are _capacitively coupled_ and you may not be able to detect this with an ohmmeter at DC.

Have you actually tried anything like the experiment I suggested?
