Ron, Nice research and data. Great build job.
You have made some good points in your research and some valid arguments.

I know Thane is now looking for the "OU" grail but perhaps the first step is an improvement in generator design for practical "real world" purposes.
What really counts is how much power you can get out of the HC setup with a load versus a HC setup with a load and with a shorted HV coil. The reason it needs to be tested like this is because in the "real world" a generator is powered by something such as a gas engine, the wind, the water,etc   A spinning rotor, wind turbine blade,  water turbine blade, etc without being hooked up to a generator head to produce energy is not too useful. Once any generator head is attached it will load the system. So the starting point is a loaded system for a valid comparison. Then it boils down to how much power is produced using a standard generator head compared to a generator head with HV coils shorted. If the HV shorted coils produce more power under the same load than a normal generator head than that is a basic improvement.
As you can tell from my previous post I am more interested in getting more power out of a wind generator than of getting OU. Sure OU would be nice and I am rooting for Thane but just an improved wind generator would make me happy until Thanes basement OU generator gets finished.

VERY NICE SETUP THERE - PLEASE TELL ME YOU ARE WEARING BODY ARMOR

I didn't mean to scare anyone... but this rotor is safe to well over 16000 RPM. As the speed safety factor is exponential, it has a safety factor of two at 12,000, four at 8,000, six at 5,000 and a safety factor of at least eight at the speed in the video. This is probably safer than crossing the street.The first rotor, which has not yet been returned for upgrade, only has a safety factor of two or three,
which didn't seem to slow you down too much...? or cause you to rush it back for the mod?

Gee, I wonder why ...

I FORGOT THE SPLIT-PHASE MOTOR COGGING TORQUE TESTS OF MAY 4TH 2008 POSTED HERE ON THIS THREAD WHEN THE ROTOR FACING AWAY FROM THE ROTATED AT 1728 RPM AND THEN 1741 RPM WITH THE HV COIL ENGAGED.
