Yes,  I did soak it in salt water once at the time of building.  I really like what happens when I do this.  At first they seem to totally die.  Then over a few days they dry out, crystallize, rust a little and get rock hard.  After this they seem to reach long term stability.

No criticism, just an observation:

There seems to be a problem with your very nice drawing. The two reed switches will trigger at the same time, which is not good, because the "pull" (left reed switch closes) and the "push" (right reed switch closes) should happen one after the other and not at the same time (which would cancel the magnetic fields).

Looking at your video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PuMoaDXyFZU (Baby Stubblefield Coil) one sees that the four magnets on the wheel indeed trigger the two reed switches at different times (first the "pull" and then the "push").

I attached a "corrected drawing" (the right reed switch has beens moved a little bit further away from the coil in comparison with the position of the left reed switch).

You made a great discovery and invention.

I think you've aced this as you've eliminated the variable conditions - this by allowing the rust.  It was very insightful.  Almost counter intuitive.  I've given up trying to account for this benefit.  Do you have any ideas here as to why it is preferred?

Thank you @lasersaber!
You were very honest!

Maybe that is why his 48 days motor runs so slow. It is activating both reed switches at the same time.

Update
But maybe it is needed because the only way to close the loop is with both reeds activated at the same time.  Because is one cable from one coil and another from the other, activating just one would be like an open circuit I think.
If it were both cables from the same coil it would be okay.

Remember I can be completely wrong here.
