4 phase stepper motor generator capacitor voltage boost for wind hydro electric project

Please observe and comment, I am interested in a technical explanation for this phenomenon. In this short video I am testing an eight wire NEMA 23 stepper motor as a micro alternator wired four phase full wave. I am using four bridge rectifiers one for each pair of legs (Radio Shack KBPC804) and adding small capacitors (Radio Shack 272-999) across certain unrelated pairs that appears to make it more efficient or at least boost the voltage. I have also done this with a variety of other stepper motors in different configurations and can always get the voltage to rise. Thanks for looking.

Motor is API Gettys, Model 23E-6107FA, Voltage 4.5 VDC, Current 1.25 AMPS wired via aprox. 13 feet of 24 AWG CAT 5E communication wire.

I'm not the best person to comment but, my 2 cents...Maybe a charge pump is formed by the diodes and the caps?I share your curiosity...

@sizenevermatters I just looked it up and think your maybe correct. Thanks for the comment!

Voltage doubler ,it also works very well on ceiling fan generators
