Circuit setups for pulse motors

[Ren]

Hey Brian. no worries.

I've been out of action lately, just had all my wisdom teeth out. Ouch. Been gathering parts here and there for my monopole replication, have wound coil (830 turns trifilar) and ordered perspex rotor. Getting magnets tomorrow. Will post pics once assembled.

Ouch - my mouth hurts just thinking about it!  That's one lot of teeth I'm glad I had very few problems with.
Ren - That looks like the Mother of All Coils !! LOL 
Good luck!

Cheers from the Toad who Hops

Can anyone give me this answer..,
When winding my coils I took great pains to make sure the wires were parallel and wound in the Adams coil fashion.
Soooo.., is it better to twist when winding or not to twist?

from my understanding it can be done either way, twisting ensures neatness, apart from that I am unsure if there is any other advantage. I probably wouldnt have twisted them if it was bi, but winding three separate wires trifilar was always going to be a bit messy.

@ Ren
Thank you for your response.
I am working with 3 Adams style coils of 20 AWG bifilar wound and each winding is +/- 6 ohm. Connecting them using one winding of each in series and using the second windings also wired in series to recapture through a FWB. Also added a pickup coil of 20 AWG and it is generating a 20V pp which is also run through a FWB. Input is what I'm varying through a SSG circuit. To date, no joy in finding unity but always appear close. I'm back to using a 23" aluminum bicycle wheel with 12 2 X 1 X 1/2 Neos all N facing out. Will post when that Eureka moment arrives.
