PLACING THE HC COIL ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE ROTOR HAS POSITIVE BENEFITS AS WELL.

Has anyone tried putting the magnets on the outer rim, facing radially out, and the coils rotated 90 degrees from the norm so they too are oriented radially to the shaft?  Just something about the 90deg rule that makes me wonder... 


Norm:
                                    |
                    ==M===========M==
                        C                       C

Proposed:
                                    |
               C M=================M C

Can't rotate the C and M by 90deg, so don't take their orientation to represent the N-S pole alignment.  Pole alignment is  horizontal in Proposed fig, and vertical in Normal config.

By the way, I have thought of a possible conventional source of the HC voltage increase that Thane mentions.

If you have all shorted HV cores on one side they will lend to repel the rotor a little at least compared to them being open circuit, this could tend to deform the wheel a bit and push the other side closer making it generate a higher voltage.
If the other side also has shorted coils this would become somewhat less likely to be the cause but if they are open circuit then it sounds about right.

Yes, I do. At last we've found something in common!

BTW, I've noticed recently that nested quotes are broken, has anyone else noticed that?

Yes, nested quotes are broken as you can see^

And yes Mark, I have thought of that and it could improve the effect but would make mounting more than a single coil a bit harder and it would make mounting magnets harder also.

It has also come to my attention that Thane and OU/PB(Wo)man both have noses! And breath air!

MARK,

I AM IN THE PROCESS OF WINDING A "U" SHAPED COIL TO GO AT THE OUTER EDGE OF THE ROTOR TO CONTACT THE MAGNET FROM BOTH SIDES - SHOULD HAVE IT DONE TUESDAY.

Now that's thinkin' outa the box!!!
Anxious to read your report on this 'variation on a theme'...

BTW, did you happen to give your crankypants to A22?
