@GK,

IS that circuit you posted using left hand windings? Also, any real output on the collector other than reduced sinewaves?

I will give this a try on one of my other TPU's later today, not sure if I have the Hall sensors though. Maybe I can wrap a small coil for feedback and use that to trigger a trany..... Have you given this a try yet? It sounds like you did, just curious as to your results.

<edit>
Thinking more about the circuit, it appears this stores up a charge in the CAP using a one wire approach and then discharges the CAP using the Hall when the field grows large enough to trigger it. Humm, similar to my idea I am working on..... we all seem to be circling the wagons here.....
</edit>

Still working on my other idea, had to go and get a drill press, adding to the shop it seems in order to build jigs.
