FOR ANYONE WHO'S COUNTING THATS OVER - 4 MILES / SPOOL AND LUC MADE 3 SPOOLS (12.5 MILES) THIS WEEKEND BUT ONLY WOUND 4 MILES SO FAR ON THE PRIMARY. - THE FIRST 9 MILES DIDN'T WORK.

Duh. Kilometres are way shorter. 

What didn't work about the first 9 miles (wow) and where were those miles when they weren't working?

All,

I noticed that some non testers thank that they are asking for information from their corporate research department, not the basement/kitchen table researcher on this blog. 

So anyone who would like to have an accurate digital tachometer using a magnetic sensor for less than $25 should look at http://www.instructables.com/id/Tachometer-made-from-a-bicycle-speedometer-cycloc/. The Cateye unit used in the article is not available anymore. I found a newer version, which is a Cateye Velo 8. Got it today, set it up according to the article and it correctly measure the two speeds of my Ryobi drill.
It was 22.56 including shipping from BikeWorldUSA.com.

Also found an article on building a Gaussmeter for less than $25, but it has the same problem with using an outdated Hall effect sensor. I'll be doing further research to find a solution. Would appreciate any help.

Would also like to have a cheap Wattmeter that can measure Milliwatts. I've ordered the Kill-a-Watt meter for $21.49 including shipping thru Amazon.com, but it doesn't handle Milliwatts.

Regards,
Larry
