Hi all,
Just lost long post.

Sorry to hear this !
Please use Firefox browser as it stores the input field text of the form,
so when you click forward or backwards buttons you willnot have lost the text.
Also a good idea is to first write a longer text in a text editor and
then copy and paste (STRG and C    and   STRG and V ) it into the input
posting text field.

Here's pic of new commutator.

Very nice, looking forward for a new video.
Many thanks.

I added 4 diodes to the drawing..... would diode 2,3 & 4 be neccessarry or would
Diode 1 be enough?

Just only D1 is needed, no more diodes.

You might check then in the circuit the polarity of D1 ,
if you turn it around by 180 degrees, if it will work better then...

Please let us know.

Many thanks.

og right!!!  the diode is  backwards  hehe.... 
what would be  good to use as a load?

Was meant to be up in London to see the Steorn Demo this weekend, but due to the demo being cancelled and a stinking cold I thought I would crack on with the new Center magnet and Axle.

I have lathed down a 6mm brass Rod to be the Axle and now used two 45mm *4mm thick Neo magnets.

Have milled out a custom holder that now allows the rod to go all the way through.

The balance is brilliant and with a little twist of the Axle she spins up very loose inside the 200 ohm coil.

Will now go wire her up and see what gives.









Cheers

Sean.

Well the new Middle Axle has made a BIG difference.

The Amp meter goes in 10ma increments and it is not even moving as shown in the Video attached.

The Volt meter started off showing 12.76 volts and after 10 minutes of running I decided to Video it as it was hovering between 12.78-12.79 Volts.

Just checked as I was posting and it is still hovering between this range.

Now gonna try work out how to use the amp meter on the Analogue Meter LOL

Now trying to find a 12V light bulb LOL

Cheers

Sean.
