Interesting.

Was running a few test and found that if I put the multimeter on AC amps and connect one end to the HV coil and put my hand (I'm not touching any wires) over the multimeter I can get it to read up to .09A and for a moment .2A

This seems to me to indicate where Ron's .02A might have come from.

note: corrected error above

One other note, not sure anyone cares but my new bench grinder is a 300w GMC with a 16mm arbor, and it accelerates just fine.

DEAR ALL,

PLEASE FIND ENCLOSED THE "U" COIL I MADE TODAY (Yesterday now! -JM).

I WAS ABLE TO GET 10 W OUT OF THE HC COILS w/ ACCELERATION.
10 W - HC COILS ONLY - STOPS THE SYSTEM.

TOMORROW I PLAN ON MAKING ANOTHER VERSION AND LOOKING TO INCREASE MY 10 W TO 20 W WITH AN ADDITIONAL COIL.

ALSO HERE IS A PHOTO OF A NEW GRINDER MOTOR w/ SPEED CONTROL BUILT IN - IT IS A DELTA GR 275.

CHEERS

Thane, it is worth noting that Ron has pulled close to 30w with a MOT pair (HV) thanks to a load that though not perfect was reasonably effective at pulling most of the current while raising the voltage, if you find the open circuit voltage on your generator coils far exceeds the voltage across a load when loaded and yet the current isn't far from short circuit current then that's a sign that you don't have enough resistance to pull the most power, a dead short does not pull the max power. (because at a dead short the magnetic phase of the stator gets closer to 180 degrees which is just cogging torque not Lenz lLaw)

So I strongly suggest you try some resistors of various values, measure voltage and current, make a graph and you will find the point where you get the most energy (and the most deceleration on the rotor), that might be several times higher than your current 10W.

Oh yeah, and again I warn these HV coils are dangerous! Of course it is me that needs to learn that lesson as I keep on getting bit but it is hundreds of volts and at currents above .1A it really is lethal, only 60mA MA is required for fibrillation and most of us are getting more than that, Ron 2.5 times more.

THEY GROW UP SO FAST DON'T THEY?

ON WEEK YOU'RE SPOON FEEDING THEM COILS AND ROTORS,
AND THE NEXT THEY ELECTROCUTING THEMSELVES.

I FIGURE THEY'LL BE PUTTING ME OUT TO PASTURE WITH THE SHEEP SOON.

...Huge brain fart...

Congratulations on your surgically precise summary of his carefully worded argument 

[OUman]

It is amazing really, those with letters after their names are hacks, and those of us without qualifications are mostly quite sane and logical.

The things engineers have given as reasons for the result have been utterly non-nonsensical.

I didn't expect the academics to really listen but their replies are so poor, so straightforwardly wrong...

And your specific disagreements with his analysis are what exactly?
