My heart goes out to you as well, Tito. You and your family are in my prayers.

"Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted."
May God's comfort fill your heart and the hearts of all who mourn with you.

Tito has lots of good friends.  ;]

I did some stuff last night, and low power, 5v with resistors had shown little if any output, 200mv at best, at low freq pulse.
Got rid of the resistor and added a large inductor and a diode in series with the battery to have an igniter circuit to raise the voltage of a cap for discharge. The output is still nill. My probescope shows a very high freq ring that is short lived.

So then I removed the short on the series bifi and used a .1uf 250v cap there instead. Now we have sound!. The transformer pops err clicks when pulsed with straight 5v with parallel cap for oomph. With just hand speed on rotor switching reed, and getting over 5v out(remember it is a step down transformer winding) and the ring is much better. Did these last tests at lunch here today. Will check the freq and such tonight.  The outer green winding(primary) didnt even get warm and it is 1.1ohm with 5v in. Probably the other 2 bifi windings absorb heat from the primary winding. Will see with longer runs.

Next is to get the input to pulse at the freq of the ring and see what happens.

Thanks Tito for your tips and hanging around as long as you did. Prayin for ya. ;]

Measuring the freq, it seems to be near 700hz from what my dvm sees. It might be wrong.  My scope basically shows the same wave form with fast and low speeds of switching.  From a quick calculation of the scope reading, the scope is set to .1ms, looks like around 40khz.

With 16 magnets on the rotor it will take about 3000rpms to hit that 700hz freq with the rotor/reed, let alone 40k.  So its time to setup the 555 timer and mosfet circuit I used for my solid state  Orbo to drive this thing. Would be interesting if this thing works.

I connected a small 12v light bulb to the output and it lights to about half way at these low switching speeds. And removing the .1uf cap from the bifi lowers the output to about half. ;]

The scope is set for .1ms time base 10v range. 

Measured AC on the .1uf/bifi was 34vac max

keep it up Mags! and nice primitive scope u got there... just kidding...

Mags have you tried a diode across the shorted coil.

I was thinking about Boyd Bushman and his experiment where he mashed the opposing fields of a magnet together and did the drop experiment, has anyone tried doing this with a muller setup, the magnets with the holes in the center could be bolted together with opposing fields, not sure how long the magnets would last but you never know.
