170 watts in - 1600 watts out - looped - Very impressive build and video

The below is a PM reply I (gotoluc) received from Pierre which I translated to English.

Hello Luc

I received your message but I'm not always at my computer.
The reply delay is not because I don't want to answer, it's because I don't have much time in the evening since I work between 60 to 65 hrs a week.
I see your messages at work but don' have enough time to answer you and everyone at the same time.
I may have more time to answer on the weekends.
As for my phone number, I want keep it confidential as well as my email address. If I start giving my personal details out you can imagine the disturbance will never end. I hope you understand?
For the past week I wanted to make a new video but was unable since too much of my time was used to answer people.
But don't worry about it, I eventually answer and will answer new questions after I have the new video up which should help to understand the principle.
Anyways, I also have things I don't fully understand yet, so I'm going to need everyones help.
You can contact me on the overunity site. My user name is pedro1

Thank you

Pierre

So there you have it. PLEASE let's all refrain from contacting Pierre and give him a little more time.
Mostly if you don't write or speak fluent French. That just confuses things and wastes time.

You can PM me with specific questions (not answers already) that you may have which I'll compile and translate (in French) to send to Pierre once a week.

Thanks for your cooperation and understanding.

Luc

Many thanks Luc for your great help !

To all FYI,

I just replied to Pierre's message (posted above) with the below message

Thanks for your reply Pierre,

You may of noticed I translated two of your messages and posted them on the forum.
I ask for all forum members to stop contacting you, mostly if they don't know French
From now on, any messages you receive from forum member please copy and paste this reply to them: Please send your message to gotoluc  he will compile, translate and post my answers at the forum topic once a week. Thank you

It instructs members to send me (gotoluc) the massage which I will translate for you and only send you the message/questions once a week which I'll post your reply at the forum in proper English.

As for your new video. Please explain everything in French and post the video unlisted and send me the link.
I will download it and make a new audio track in English for you. That will greatly help and reduce time wasted to explain what's been causing confusion through translation.
We really need as much details as possible on how you archived 60Hz.
Also, we don't understand how your Arduino 2560 is able to control 36 transistors as the specifications says it has 54 digital I/O pins, so looks to be 27 pins for in or out.
Please carefully explain the above and the timing sequence.

Thanks for your help

54 I/O
You can use any of the 54 pins for either an input or an output. This is done by programming. So actually you can drive up to 54 transistors if you set the pins as outputs.

From the 2560 specs..

Each of the 54 digital pins on the Mega can be used as an input or output, using pinMode(),digitalWrite(), and digitalRead() functions. They operate at 5 volts. Each pin can provide or receive 20 mA as recommended operating condition and has an internal pull-up resistor (disconnected by default) of 20-50 k ohm. A maximum of 40mA is the value that must not be exceeded to avoid permanent damage to the microcontroller.

My only question would be confirmation of the winding pitch?

6 magnetic fields in play could just be 3 phases spaced at 12 slots (120 degrees) two coils per phase @180 degrees to each other.
Every rotation then produces 3 cycles.
20 rotations = 60 cycles.
