I have a question but it might be a little off topic.  Doesn't the number of poles of a generator increase its efficiency?  Increase it in the sense that 1 rotation can produce x times more than a generator with less poles.  So the output voltage is higher - I'm talking conventional here.  But I believe they typically limit the poles because it makes the size of the generator bigger and more expensive to construct - right? 

Dynamos usually have many poles....  Anyway sounds like your research is going well Thane.  I don't know what you mean by eating our country the 25th.  That's probably not a good idea considering all the pollution haha.   

QuoteI AM SORRY THAT I HAVE A VIRUS IN MY COMPUTER OR I WOULD POST GOTOLUC'S AND MY BI-TOROID VIDEO WHERE THE PRIMARY VOLTAGE AND CURRENT ACTUALLY DROP WHILE THE SECONDARY LOAD POWER INCREASES BY 1800%.

I want to see that one.  Now I know you don't like these kinds of questions, but with 1800% increase, would it be possible to close the loop?  (runs for cover) 

Seriously though, could it be possible (just possible) or does more work need to be done?  Just a yes or no answer would do. 

Thanks,
Charlie

For those who have computer problems, here is a quick guide from a guy who fixes PCs for living.

1. Make sure to have at least 1GB of RAM memory under Windows XP and at least 2 GB in Windows Vista.
2. Make sure to have at least free antivirus software like AVG 8.0 available from here:
http://www.filehippo.com/download_avg_antivirus/
During the setup of AVG don't install the AVG toolbar and disable daily scanning. Typically a full scan once a week is just fine.
3. Get decent antispyware programs. I use 2 of them:
http://www.filehippo.com/download_superantispyware/
http://www.malwarebytes.org/
Scan your PC using these two programs and remove all objects detected by these. Also, make sure to download updates prior to running the scan.
4. Download and install Mozilla Firefox web browser. Much better and safer than the IE from Microsoft. 
5. Make sure to run a disk defragmenter.
6. Is any kind of Norton software installed on your PC? If yes, remove it all with the exception of the "2009" branded Nortons. These "can" stay.
7. Missing a program?
I really like this site:
http://www.filehippo.com/
It lists only very useful and free PC utilities.

That's all...
Good luck.

The official AVG website -->

Be careful about downloading files except from the official website.

Nice... You just gave me a boner. In a purely technical sense of course. Can't wait to see the video.

IF YOU CONTACT GOTOLUC - HE MIGHT KNOW WHERE A COPY OF THE VIDEO IS?
THE PROBLEM WE HAD WAS THE PRIMARY TO SECONDARY FLUX LINKAGE WAS POOR SO THE IDLING POWER WAS HIGH. IT WAS VERY INTERESTING TO SEE THE VOLTAGE AND CURRENT GO BACKWARDS UNDER LOADING HOWEVER...

CHEERS
