Potatogunman's newman machine

I tryed it but im not seeing any rotation    Question  !!  does the bearings have to be  free turning with out much drag  ...I think i need to use better bearings

when i get it qa spin it turns 2 times  then  stops  ....not good

I ll  post a pic off my  machine maybe by looking at it you can spot any design flaws

thanks

when I looked at the top pic   i notice that the batter leads are connected to the same part of the shaft ...  would this cause it to short?

hmmmm .... I think the coils are to far from the center maybe also

hmmmm .... I think the coils are to far from the center maybe also 

I think you're right. It's best to have the coil as close to the centerline as possible.

is there anybody thats use's Skatboard bearings?   what is the I.D  and the O.D of these bearings ?    im  hoping for a 3/8 I.D  .... so I could use a 3/8  steel rod

Would Stainless steel rod work as well ?
