Hi SW,
Nice build, are you using all 4 coils for drive or just the bi-filar one?
The other 3 are just single strand correct.
Thanks for sharing.

Hi shylo, thanks for the positive words.
Yes, all 4 coils are in series for primary power and the 3 others are single strand, correct.

Hi all, I changed the wiring to all 4 coils in parallel, minus the feedback strand.
The series wiring did not give good rpm's, the parallel wiring gives much better rpm and charging it seems, still testing though to determine best setup.
I tried using a full wave bridge off the other coils to charge the 12 volt charge battery, though the voltage is only around 9 volts at the given rpm.
So the paralleled option with the main power coil seems to be working well.

Here is the circuit I'm currently testing.

Hi all, I'm observing an overall voltage gain between the two 12 volt batteries so far, when using the parallel wired coil connection.
At the very start of testing, just before starting the tests with the series wired coil connection, the combined rest voltage of both 12 volt tractor batteries, was 25.255 volts.
After a few hour test run with the latest parallel wired coils, the overall resting voltage is 25.29 volts.
So based on these observations so far, the claim that the voltage stays about the same is true.

The only thing I have yet to test, is if a load can be placed across the charge battery as shown in the patrick kelley, chapter 19 pdf and still maintain an equal or greater overall voltage on the batteries.
Another observation, this wheel seems to have quite a bit of torque that is not being used at the moment.

Hi all, the testing results are looking very good.


So far, I have changed the configuration 3 times and the system has used a total of 27.50 watt hours, when I combine the power used during all tests run for each configuration.

And yet, the overall voltage for both batteries, is equal to or a little greater, compared to when I first started testing.

The next tests will be with a 12 volt led bulb load across the input battery, as shown in the pdf.
