Dear Brad.

Stefan could REALLY do with a thumbs up icon !!

I will have to use this one instead...............   

Cheers Grum.

Edit. I have noticed our posts have crossed, I was referring, of course,to your video link!!

Cheers Grum.

Here is another great video where you will see two things.
First-in the second run whit the weak field(as he calls it) You see the motor start up-but no arcing !until! the brushes and armature begin to heat up. When the brushes get hot enough,we see a really good light show. This is the brush material disintergrating-you can even see large red hot pieces being ejected on the left side brush.

Second-it the later half of the video,you see his scope showing various test points. The red trace at the bottom is the one to watch. If you listen carefully,you can hear when the brushes have heated up,and start to arc-at this very time,you will see the red trace go all wobbly at the peak-this is when the brushes are arcing. !BUT! do you see any high voltage spikes on that trace?

You want to see sparks, here's some sparks. LOL!

@Tinman,

That looks like more then sparks at 1:31 in the video! Looks more like the "Ion Cloud" Webby1 spoke of: "Plasma transition" of hydrogen in the air? An abundance of "Ionized" free electrons attracted to the current path; Perhaps the source of the HV spikes?

Tinman's measured OU may be a consequence of this kind of "Plasma Transition Effect" from over speeding! The motor burning itself for fuel! Tinman would have to run his motor in a vaccum to test for it: "Red Line Plasma Gain".

Recommended viewing for both of those. No spikes, it was pretty easy to hear the motor fall apart and the red trace deterioration.
I've learned a lot tonight already
