I tried that and it was a disaster for plexiglass. It is too brittle and will be very difficult to cut without a drill press.

If you have drill press I would buy a set of better drills. If you will use a hand drill definitely forget about those ones.

Fausto.

Thanks.. Yes I have a drill press.  I'm going to use Plas-Drill bits (made for drilling plastic) for the smaller holes..

and this Unibit for the larger ones..

this is only 1 drive coil pair.
l need to show a circuit diagrams to help me understand this.
its wave forms and circuits are very interesting

I shorted the coils and added the tuned capacitor to the output and was able to get output current to 600 m Amps the voltage was so high it heated up the capacitor and destroyed it. the capacitor was rated at 160 volts non polarized.

there is so much to test. 

The drive current was 100 m amps.

Is this OU? don't know as Power calculations are not available yet. I need to collect much more data to established an RMS voltage.

the divisions are 5 volts on X ten. each division is 50 volts

Well between the info above and the info you gave in your next post I'd say forget the calcs.  Time to try a  looped self run test!  I might be wrong but sounds like you have enough output to run the motor with an efficient DC-DC converter.  Maybe start with a good size cap on the input of the converter from your coils.
    If that doesn't work in any of various configurations (I can think of a number of ways to try this) then go for the calculations but trying a loop test seems easier and a sure way to know if you have OU of around 2 or more.  Any Hoo NICE WORK toranarod !

This is from Romero on coil shorting:
"One thing to mention, I am not shorting the coil directly, I am doing it with a capacitor, in fact the shorting is adding a capacitor in parallel with the coil.The capacitor value in my case is 0.33uf."
  Can someone please explain this.  Seems relevant.

^never read that comment but i guess ill try it lol

I understand shorting with a hall, reed, or coil/transistor.  But please explain how to short with a cap.
