I'm posting to share my r-charge 10 coiler after its extensive make over.
I bought the machine used, but well cared for. I received a lot of help from Tom C, John K and Eric N. The rotor has been replaced with a new acrylic rotor with 20 super-pole north outfacing ceramic magnets. All replacement coils done by Tom are 18 AWG quad wound, one with an 18 AWG trigger. Coil number 10 also has a trigger (18 AWG) I'm not using currently. The boards are from TeslagenX.
There are three 1/4" copper inductive loops: one for charge pos, one for primary neg, and one for the common primary pos/charge neg. These are attached to the batteries with #6 wire. The ground terminal of each board is attached to its inductive loop with 10 AWG black wire and 3/8" hose clamps. The charge pos terminal of each board is attached to its inductive loop with red 10 AWG wire also with 3/8 inch hose clamps. The common terminal on the boards still has white 12 AWG wire, but I'll replace that with 10 AWG soon. The trigger coil wire is soldered to a heavy duty 50 ohm pot which is soldered to a bank of switches for each board with 12 AWG wire and the switches are attached to the board with the same gauge. I'll replace all this with 10 AWG as well.
I'm trying to post pictures but I think they are too big for the site.
It's charging well off of a 215AH 12v bank of 2 golfcart batteries in series. The charge battery is a 25AH marine deep cycle battery. 7,8,9, and 10 coils seems to much for the battery so I keep those turned off and dragging. Optimal charging seems to happen around 420RPM but I can get it much higher turning on all the coils. I think this means I'll be able to use the drag on some of the others to generate electricity while I can add others to keep the RPMs the same. That's what I'll be working on after I get the wires replaced.
