Agreed...but challenging the presenter isa counter productive.

Everybody non active like me should just stay out of the way and politely watch and learn.

You should have a little more faith in the ability of others to learn. And stick around capz, it would appear you have something to learn here too.

Don't be ridiculous, I have no inclination or intention to force feed anyone anything...especially a lesson.

I have said my  piece on this matter...for the time being.

Regards...

Well i had a fairly productive afternoon. Managed to get the generator all ready to couple to the motor.The generator now has a support bearing both end's-this is so i can try different motors if i wish. The generator and motor will be coupled via a shaft coupler.

Pic 1-engine and gen out of frame.
Pic 2-generator sepperated from motor.
Pic 3-motor striped and crank removed.
Pic 4-crank shaft with taper cut off,and housing from motor trimed to bolt back onto the generator and carry the other bearing.
Pic 5-genny all back together,and is now a stand alone genny, so as any motor can be coupled to it.

If you go to the part 2 and 3  videos  you will see diagrams and explanations..

Seems this guy  was used capoacitors in paralel not in series....

So after a trip to the farm,we now have what we need to build Luc's first setup.

Looking forward to your tests Brad.

@ Poynt.
Was not the answers i gave in regards to your circuit you posted correct. Looking at the answers i gave,shows what you said about moving the DVM leads. Luc also said that he would do it like this aswell,if we were to stay polarity correct-in accordance with your test circuit being DC.

There wasn't really a correct answer. The question was to see how Luc (or anyone) would do it given the situation I outlined. I did not intend the question to be linked to my other diagrams, so sorry if you thought that.

But there is an end-goal to the discussion in sight, and I'm confident we'll get there as long as Luc is willing to continue for a few more posts.
