Gray Motor Test2

In this test I have replaced the steel motor shaft with a 3/8" hardwood oak spindle. This became necessary, because in attempting to control when the tube fires (timing of capacitor discharge) the high voltage was jumping to the motor's shaft and going to ground thru the contact points. on the right end of the motor is the commutator that introduces the ground to the tube, only when the rotor magnets are aligned properly over the stator coils.Its basically a spinning contact switch. However,I am still working on getting this timing to work correctly.Since I removed the steel shaft the coil seems to really be blasting out the voltage. This is causing me more problems. like burning up the contact points that are on the left end of the motor shaft.

Yes, I wanted to see if the motor would drive its own chopper (contact points), The high voltage is being generated by the motor itself, and is running in the video off of one 12V 7 amp hr battery. I am going to add a second battery later to capture recharge energy. After I work out all the small bugs.

Looks great!! Any good result yet?
