My first Neman motor

[detrix42]

After an hour the coils remained cool. This time though the batteries heated up.  I think I have a recharging effect going on , but unfortunately I did not take and voltage readings...oops.  But a constant speed, and no heat up has motivated me to do a second run for 2 hours.

Set-up:
2 sets of 11 9V batteries:
   Pack 1 = 89.2v
   Pack 2 = 86.0v
   Batteries are connected in parallel to give me more current.
I don't have an analog amp meter yet. 
coils are made of 26 awg enameled wire, with a total resistance of 57.2ohms

I will post again in 2 hours.

   It stopped on its own. I was not there when it did, so I do not know exactly why.  I was in the next room and heard it stop.  I think it ran for about 1hr and 30min. Strange this was that battery pack 1 heated up, pack 2 did not.  But the voltages after the hour and a half was:
Pack 1: 79.9v   a 9.3 volt drop
Pack 2: 83.5v   only a 2.5 volt drop.

hmmmm....

Hi everyone.  I am going to start another thread, because I have moved on to a second motor.  I consider it my second Newman motor and feel another thread would be appropriate.  So when you get this far, check the other thread by me detrix42.

Cheers.
