hello again. Converted video of my setup and now hosted on Youtube.

Found battery on side of road and used it for power. Starts machine up heaps faster, Im assuming because there are alot more amps. Wall outlet is max 1 amp. Top speeds are similar and output is the same, so Ideally if i wanted to run this off the battery I should reduce the amount of amps its taking.

Nice video. If you want to know how many watts you are using, the setup your amp meter inline with the micro switch. I have posted a pic below to show you how. Make sure you are using the 10 amp setting and you change the red cord on your amp meter from mA to 10 amp. Then multiply your voltage of your battery times the amperage. Your voltage should be read before starting the motor. Also it looks like you are reading pure voltage off of your generator coils, hook up a load (such as a resistor or a little hobby motor and read the amperage inline as above mentioned). A helpful site to solve your questions about input vs output is http://www.opamplabs.com/eirp.htm good luck.

Oops, forgot the pic

Hey guys, check out Konehead's pulse motor on youtube.

I uploaded his circuit a few pages back.

thanks jase, will go do that now.

I am thinking that the coils are producing the transformer effect and that is where the voltage is coming from, I dont know if that is classified as back emf. Skimming the surface of some of the info on the transformer effect I noticed that transformers are usually very efficient, like up to 99%.Interesting.

Something funny just happened too. I hooked up a small hobby motor to the output with the multimeter still connected to the points. The multimeter jumped from 18-20 volts to the number 1 (which means voltage was too high to read). No prob you say switch from 20v setting to 200v setting. Well I did and that didnt work either, I ended up using the hv setting, which was saying there was over 1000v spikes. This returned back to its normal level as soon as the motor was disconnected. The draw slowed the motor down a little but it still ran and the hobbie motor was spining too. Can anyone explain? The only thing I can think is that the hobby motor is creating interference or something or that my multimeter was wrong? Wierd, I'll video it sometime, interested to hear anyones thoughts.
