In This test run I found out how to time the capacitors discharge to take place only when the magnets are in the proper position to create repulsion. But notice that the discharge is no longer inside the tube. This is because I have removed the ground from the tube completely. The ground makes physical contact with the spinning spark gap (bottom hoop). I ran a jumper from the grid or capacitor charge wire to the top wire hoop on the spinning contact. This is where I set the ground to grid gap. Notice that the capacitor (tube) discharge now happens where I want it to happen (In relation with the rotor stator alignment). The tube will work for demonstration purposes with the conventional diode to ground setup, but that will give you a spontaneous discharge, happening at any time during the motors rotation. It can even stall the motor completely. Gray's patent drawing is correct, in that he used a triode triggered by the commutator, to introduce the low voltage potential into the tube, So that the motor would fire the capacitor at the desired rotor to stator position, to produce rotation. The diode will make the tube function. But Gray clearly showed how to make the motor work.
