Mr Others back to you here.... lol

This is quite fascinating, especially what appears to be your use of MOT cores and coils.

May I ask some construction pointers? 

1) It looks like the single Lee Valley cup, but with two 1/8th thick magnets in it?

YES

2) It looks like two MOT cores with the outside legs cut off?

YES

3)The two cores are mounted on a back steel piece to tie them together?

YES

4) are they clamped down tight or is there a spacer block between the mot core and the transverse
core? (or an air gap?)

NO AIR GAP - MOUNTED TOGETHER

5) are the two mot cores one magnet spacing apart? (do the cores align on each magnet)

YES THE CORES ALIGN

6) are the magnets NSNS or NNNN?

NSNS

7) The two gold coils are the primary and secondary from the Mot?

YES

The green coil is hand wound?

YES 1000 ohms worth

To answer your question, I would have to know if the green coil and gold coil are connected....

NOT CONNECTED - ACTIVATED INDIVIDUALLY - TO OBSERVE DIFFERENT EFFECTS

That was long! You should warn a person ahead of time when they need popcorn.

If you had made your observations with the plexiglas rotor and your new discovery with the high current wire before this was filmed, would you have described your basic back-emf theory any differently or modified it in some way?

To save walking up and down the lab you could always buy some multi-stranded enamelled wire:
http://www.wires.co.uk/acatalog/st_wire.html
They do a 60 strands of 0.315mm and 1000 strands of 0.14mm wire all in 500g spools.
For longer lengths just create a "tap" at every 500g and then you have the option of connecting in line or parallel.

ACTUALLY WE HAD SOME ON ORDER BUT WE(LUC) LACKS PATIENCE.
WE ARE WINDING OUR NEW PRIMARY TODAY WITH 175 STRAND X 46 GAUGE LITZ TODAY.

Ryobi 6" bench grinder, about 150 to 250 watts input?
Induction motor?

200 WATTS - DEPENDING ON SPEED - 200 W @ 1000 RPM

What is the voltage on the high current coil?
HV2 output is 100V x 0.5A so that could be 50Watts or if RMS is taken into account 0.707 x 100 x 0.5 = 35 Watts

SORRY AGAIN 100V JUST PRIOR TO SHORTING.

Wild guess here: Shorting the longer length of wire might be to do with the delay in the field collapse of the core material creating less cogging of the rotor but you would also see a reduction in the high current coil.

I WILL CHECK THIS TODAY AND POST THE RESULTS.

I'VE BEEN TOLD SIZE DOESN'T MATTER - NOT SURE WHY I KEEP BEING TOLD THAT THOUGH?

If you had made your observations with the plexiglas rotor and your new discovery with the high current wire before this was filmed, would you have described your basic back-emf theory any differently or modified it in some way?

IT MAY NOT BE BACK EMF AS I THOUGHT - OR IT MAY BE MAGNITUDE DEPENDANT BACK EMF - I.E. TOO MUCH "OF A GOOD THING" CAUSING SATURATION ETC.

OR THERE MAY BE AN IDEAL OPERATING RANGE FOR EACH COIL / MOTOR SETUP.

EVERYTHING SEEMS TO BE ABOUT BALANCE AND FINDING THE RIGHT BALANCE AGAIN AND AGAIN AFTER WE CHANGE SOMETHING. LUC IS CONSTANTLY LOOKING FOR THAT BALANCE WITH THE TRANSFORMER - I JUST WANT OUR DUNE BUGGY TO GO 25 - 50% FARTHER.

Thanks Thane, for answering all my questions!
