You mentioned using a capacitor to block dc from going to the coils and shorting it out. Does that mean you need one capacitor for each phase and therefore 3 caps?

Thanks.

@wtam69

Yes, you need one for each phase/each rectifier.

20AWG good for 20Amps? Am I missing something?

@bqdavis1

You are right, maybe I was referring to 3 phases made up from 20 AWG each carrying 7 amps.

ill study this one

So what would be Positive and negative DC, is it the AC current going OUT Positive and AC current going IN negative. thank you for the video btw, very very helpful!

@THEHODSONATOR because inside your alarm clock, tv and anything else that is "electronic" is DC. It is all converted from the AC in your home wall outlet to DC inside your appliance. this is due to the fact that AC can not be controlled as well as DC can. Although Ac can be controlled, there are more cheaper options converting it to DC and doing it that way. hope that helped!

why does it need to produce dc power? dont most things run on AC

Wiring a capacitor incorrectly in a "DC" circuit can be dangerous. MAKE SURE YOU PLACE THE NEGATIVE ON THE NEGATIVE SIDE. Otherwise you could get hurt by the capacitor exploding, due to the fact that a "DC" reverse bias on an electrolytic capacitor will cause it to explode and will leak it's toxic contents out. BE CAREFUL IT "DOES" MATTER"!

I noticed your meter is set on 2k, when i set mine to 2k i get no reading, but at 200 i get .4 is there something wrong here? my test coil is 75 turns with 15 gauge wire and at 125 rpm aprox i get 1.3 volts. what do you make of this?
