Gilles experiment applied to a wheel

Well, the only possibility is that the voltage of the capacitor bank after completing the charge is greater than 3 volt...

yes, that is what the inverter circuit does... those caps are 300+ volts and 120uf most likely and he is charging them up to near full capacity.

"of course, i used a flash circuit photos but with
480 Uf "

And watch the meter upper left hand corner, you can see 310V printed, I assume the final voltage the capacitor bank made from photoflash capacitors were charged up to that voltage level. This voltage then was switched to the toroidal coil via the thyristor, all this built into the plastic box. The meter may have showed the peak current , about 3 Amper, taken from the 3V battery bank, when the circuit charged up the cap bank.

So the stored energy in the cap bank was about 310*310*0.00048/2= 23 Ws, ok?

Hmmm... 23 joules... Well, I don't think that aluminium disc could make a apple be lifted 23 meters!

Perhaps with a neodymium disc!
