Aether! Please send video of your fuckingupness.  With audio! I want to hear you say "Thane - the cheek is in the mail, eh" with that inexcusable Kiwi accent.

Of couse you don't agree!  Crankypantses NEVER agree. Crankypants.

In my opinion nobody you crankypantsed at today deserved it. But you seem much more cheerful now.  Carry on.

I AGREE!

JM, TELL ME YOU WERE CHEERING FOR THE MOTHERLAND RUSSIA AND I WILL BE HAPY ONCE MORE?

NO - NOT AT ALL BUT YOU COULD HAVE A WORKING MODEL IN A DAY OR TWO AS OPOSED
TO WAITING ANOTHER TEN - PLUS COSTS.

Well all in all even if the MOT's (which I am about to go and test as soon as I stop typing replies) do work I would still like to have a single reasonably compact coil that can demo the effect.
And so far I have no more info on how to make a working coil that I did when I made my current failed coil so considering the cost and time involved in a 'not so sure' thing I'd rather pay and call it my birthday present to myself than have to report 2 for 2 failed coils.

I AM SORRY I THOUGHT I SAID SEND IT TO LUC TO PAY FOR HIS GAS.

I'm sorry, I thought no reply was a sign you didn't care if I paid or not
May have been some wishful thinking though.

YES YOU DESERVE SOME CREDIT - CAN YOU POST SOME PHOTOS OF YOUR SET UP - BORROW OR STEAL A DIGITAL CAMERA?

I will try the MOT's first which I hope to do today.
Which will hopefully mean the video will be of a successful setup.
No digital camera but I have a webcam and I can borrow a laptop so close enough.

IT'S A BITCH I KNOW - IT TOOK ME 5 YEARS OF WINDING BEFORE I SAW WHAT I WAS AFTER AS WELL - PERHAPS WE CAN GET YOU UP TO SPEED SOONER.

I hope!

I THINK IT'S YOUR MOTOR OR SOMETHING ELSE?

I HESITATE TO CAUSE YOU TO INCUR FURTHER EXPENSE BECAUSE YOU MAY INDEED REQUIRE A DIFFERENT MOTOR - BUT I CAN'T BE SURE?

That makes 2 of us.
I will try the MOT's.
If they do not work I will split the laminations in half as you did. (without changing the coil right?)

A RYOBI MOTOR WITH THIS COIL AND THE ROTOR YOU CURRENTLY HAVE WILL GIVE YOU RESULTS INSTANTLY BUT IT WILL COST $ 200 - 300 - MOSTLY IN SHIPPING COSTS. ULI MAY AGREE TO SHIP YOU ONE FOR $ 75 BUT DO YOU WANT TO WAIT OR PAY?

Thane

I'd say an instant yes to the $75.
I can of course get a Ryobi here but that's meaningless since it's a different voltage and frequency design so it may not compare.

For the $200-$300 the answer would be 'do you take monthly payments?'

It may be the coil.
it may be the motor.
It may be the input to the motor.
It may be the location or me (which doesn't bare thinking about).

I AM GOING TO DRIVE MY DUNE BUGGY TO NEW ZEALAND AND KICK YOUR BUTT MISTER!
THEN ZAP YOU WITH MY AETHER - RAY GUN!

Seriously though i do think that to get anywhere with this effect we need to know how it comes about.
Continue to verify that something is moving from the generator to the motor.
Study the effect it has on the motor.

See if it has an effect on other things.

One thing though, I'd like to remind you of that test I suggested which you did like the sound of.
The testing the deceleration of the generator with the coils shorted and open.
If it is videoed there is not even a need to measure anything, just cut it at the same approximate speed both times and the sound and time it takes to come to a stop are sufficient to see how shorting effects it.
