Hi, I have to be quick because my phone is acting up and i don't want to loose this post.
I have built a Tesla Switch commutator based on the one that Patrick Kelly gives in chapter 5 of his book.
It has 12 brushes total, with two on each "arm". I will post a picture of it so you can see for yourself.
I just wonder how I should connect the brushes to the circuit.
I know I should really know how to do it myself, but I am not sure exactly.
Here is one, I hope that it is enough, but I can post another one if you want to. :)
Nevermind this thread. I will try to hook it up and if it doesn't work right away i will try again. :)
The switches are only simply on/off switches, press to make.
You need to follow Patrick's circuit and connect accordingly.
