thanks barnac....i tried it with jpg and it seems like it will work but how did i get them to be jpg and the others are eml?....also they are too big?....can't wait to post my stuff as i feel it came out pretty good......at least i am getting power....the coil in the photo is 200 turns of #18 magnet wire....the resistance is too high at 1 ohm per coil, but i still am producing over 12 volts at approximetly 180 revolutions per minute.....need to change my stator and move my magnets a bit and i am sure it will produce more efficiently....but first i have to get my phot's to show up.....any help would be appreciated
