OK did some upgrades....i wound a new shorting coil, bifilar wound with a rough guestimation of about 500-600 windings kids kept inturupting me and I lost count. I also had a problem with the cd's flexing down because of the attraction of the magnets so i filled the space between the cds with expanding gorilla glue. This way of making rotors actually blew my mind with how sturdy they are and if lined up right the cd's are already nicely round . Made a bigger cap bank using two(330uf 200v) and one (220uf 200v) caps. i haven't tried yet with these caps but i know if i let the system trigger one time it would fill one 330 uf to 50 volts. then it wouldn't go any higher so i imagnine i would have to discharge the cap every charge or i would be wasting the other pulses that wouldn't get in. But a bigger bank should change that. Also the core in the shorting coil stuck out about a 1/16 of an inch on the bottom so i couldn't actually get it under the rotor so i cut out a slot for it to fit in so i can get the coil where it needs to be. I am haveing a hard time judging power consumption because as i said before i blew my meter fuse so hot wired it so i can read voltage but not going to chance current. I tried to put a car headlight bulb between the batt and the system so i could use the brightness but it doesn't even light up so...looking for a different way untill i can get a fuse.
as for the running. adding the bifilar wound coil with many more windings then the previous one (double to be precise i used the previous wire wound beside a new one to make it bifilar) which caused the motor to spin up very slowy with that coil set aside ...but with it its a bit faster than before...no precise measurments yet but may have a video later today.
