Disregard the dump cap part then Mo, and try feeding #2 coil back into #1 coil pair, with diodes if necessary...and see if anything good happens.

What kind of results would you predict?

    Mo, I wonder what would happen if instead of pair #2 going to a dump cap, you fed it back into pair # 1 or its dump cap, possibly utilizing a pair of diodes ?

Quote from Mo:

" Not quite sure what you are getting at.  There is only one common Dump Cap.  All coil pairs feed that Dump Cap after their independent FWBRs."

What @Cap-Z-ro is saying is basically what I tried to explain in my reply #4689 to give you some other ways of testing to see results and effects. You may stumble onto something unexpected. Since you have two pairs, it is easier to see effects and any inter-effects. But don't get too bogged down by input versus output. Since you have already established a comfortable base line with your dump cap, you will see anything out of the ordinary when it occurs so trying to compare input/output is mostly a waste of time unless you have stuck something really special on the output.

Like, call me when the dump cap blows up, or, something like that. lol

Please check this video I made about coil shorting:

I see.  I didn't understand why you would want me to perform the experiments you proposed in reply #4689 either.  So if that is what @Cap-Z-ro is also suggesting, I am not quite ready to look for unusual phenomenon by those methods yet.  I have several interesting phenomenon that I plan to continue testing first.  If these tests convince me that the output is not unusual, then I may have a go before shelving this.

Nice video, good test and satisfying results!
I am experimenting with coil banging too at the moment.
So you control the timing of the shorting/unshorting
with a peak detection circuit or did you couple your drive circuit signals
to the Arduino to time them?
Looks like you generate 4 shorts per peak.
200+ volts is nice,
apart from the fact that you would never reach such cap voltages
without the unshorting, it would have been cool to just compare to
a normal generator operation where the cap is connected all the time and
to see the value it fills up to then and also the RPM.
It can actually be seen in your previous video nicely: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qPagVQGfDDU&feature=related

Question: How did you connect your generator coils? Series Adding or bucking?

Keep it up!
