It makes a difference if you connect it 3 phase or 6 phase if you rectify it but that is a peculiarity of the rectifier.
The damping cage of a single phase machine primarily prevents the pulsating mmf penetrating the field circuit. For polyphase windings it damps pole swing in paralleled machines and also provides a means of starting synchronous motors.
Not sure what you are trying to do, it must surely be with iron poled machines with small air gaps. Most of these snags vanish with neo with effectively very large air gaps and high coercivity.
Winding 2 coils per pole is not going to solve anything and mutual inductance is a complete red herring.

so from your comments i am to believe that the mutual inductance of two opposite wound coils on a single pole will have not adverse effects on the voltage of either coil?
if so, that is the answer to my question :)
yes i am working with a iron core machine, without neos, and tight airgap
thanks

Basically true. The combined dual coils will be the same as drawing the same load from a single coil. With the dual coil arrangement there will be some change in the voltage of one coil if you remove the load from the other as there will almost certainly be a drop in the loading with one coil disconnected.

i would expect some change in output if you drop the load from one coil but was concerned whether the interaction of the two seperate coild magnetically would have adverse or cancelling effect.
ok,, now i will start the rewind and see what happens
thanks again one and all
