Newman machine replica

I still have to finish mounting the commutator brushes and rear bearing.

This will fire 20X per rotation.

Wow! I have no idea how that'll work, but color me impressed.
Can you post a video of it when its running? I can't tell where the points are.

The power enters from the top commutator."Top of pic" the brushes to the coil will be 180 degrees apart on ether side for the segmented "thoriated tungsten" main commutator. Its going to take alot of tuning. I need to cut back on some main power brush drag. So far preliminary tests very large arcing off both brushes. At average current of .030 amp.

Video hopefully this weekend.

Looks and SOUNDS to be quite a replication.
Thanks for posting info and media. I'll be keeping an eye out for more.

Keep up the great work,
