Has anyone seen Lasersabers new motor runs on 1000uf cap

@Mags: Thumbs up! I especially like the trim fasteners for bobbins.  I can't afford a spool of wire and I don't have the tooling here necessary to attain the precision required or I'd be joining you folks in your builds, I love a good pulse motor.
But I'm watching.... so good luck and continue the detailed reports please!

Thanks. There are some out there that are oblong, of which he didnt have. I want the right side and the left side of the coils wires to be straight up and down as the magnet passes left and right. The round coils, only a small portion of the coil is perfectly vertical where as the magnet field cuts the windings to induce current. The more the windings are not being cut straight across by the magnetic field, the less that is induced. Like if the wires were wound around the outer perimeter of the rotor where the field is dragged along the length of the wire, current wont be produced in the windings, at least at the output. Like in commercial motors and gens, the field cuts a majority of the wire straight across and the loop backs at the ends of the armature windings that dont get straight crossings of the field or not in the field at all possibly, these areas of the winding are small in comparison to the straight runs through the armature coil as a whole in comparison to round coils. Ill find those clips.

The wire is pretty cheap in my opinion. I think the 6700ft roll LS had shown was about $8.  My roll on ebay is 50,000 ft $35 shipped in 3days from Cali to Fl.

Making my stator ring from 1/4 in plexy. Found these black plastic spacers that Im using to hold the white bobbins. The 'barbed' shaft ends of the white door panel clips(bobbins) will be easier to change out being the inside of the black spacer is smooth. They were a tight fit at first, but as they sit in the spacers for a bit, they become looser, as they were a bit too tight. I dont want to have to apply too much force with these coils with the fine wire.
Going to mount some of the black spacers tonight and finish tomorrow. Then make stands for the stator ring and wind the coils.

These door clips I get 20 for $5 off the hardware truck. In a parts store, they want up to $15 for as little as 2. Crazy.  Unless you have a supply truck in town, best to order them online if some people want to go this route.

Will be winding single wire coils first, then Ill wind 24 more in bifi to compare. Should still have plenty of wire after both.

Got all the black spacers mounted. Will be getting more door panel clips when the truck comes by tomorrow. 20 per bag and need 24. Plus another bag for 24 bifi. Start winding coils tomorrow.

@Mags: Your rotor, ring for the coils and base plate look professionally cut or turned? Did you have them made or do you have the right equipment?

Beauty.
You could even make a winding set like UFO's asymmetric fantasy mogen.

Just kidding.... that's looking very very nice, I am impressed.
