Nice drawing and pic!  Does the clipper coil have a core?  Looks like a lot of windings there.  So, I just use it as a pick-up coil then?  What do you think it will put out as far as volts/mA's?  I have had my eye out for an old set of clippers ever since you raised the idea way back.  I hate to salvage the parts from mine as I cut my own hair (what is left of it) and have for over 30 years or so.

Maybe I can find some at a second hand shop...I will check around.  Heck, I can buy a new pair for about $20.00 which is probably cheaper than all that wire would cost me at Radio Shack.

Great post, thanks.  I need more power....I always need and want more power.

I got 3 of them my self on my bedini it reaches 120 v ac, on a 12v dc supply , there is over 1000 foot of wire and there is a core usually easy to remove (if you like air core, really doesn't work that good ) The core is good for high voltage .

My bedini if you remember the picture , is a bedini fan first , the fan circuit charge battery and give rotation , so the dick on top is free and doesn't need pulsing , the disc is made of hard drive disc with 5 hd magnet so the disk is N-S-N-S-N-S-N-S-N-S, 5 cycles per rotation , also the disc design permits coil over and under it.

The letters are the 4 pickup coil needed to make this, where it say ac its only referring to the diode bridge .
Also i made a mistake in my explanation or the drawing , i know it works i used the drawing to test and got good results
But did i make it like i said instead ?(by mistake)

But if you want to have power to charge cap fast , you don't need that , you just need cross wind pickup coils , use 30 gauge and make it into one wire by twisting them together all of them will fill caps fast.

Thank you @mk1 !

Most newer models contain a motor, and not a large winding...  the motor has an offset axis, so that it can cause the teeth of the electric razor to vibrate back and forth wile attached to the axis.

Hair clipper not trimmer or nose air remover , lol, i have coils for 3 different maker , even those from wallmart.
