Electron--hope you don't mind the short version. Yes, I have thought about that for a few days, (Hint from someone on this board) Will try,
and post the results. Have a bunch of rewinds, from experiments, and
have several pairs of identical winds. Also have two identical rotors.
I am pretty sure that this won't work on A.C., but it stands a chance
on D.C.. Full wave bridge should help as well, which, at the moment
all of mine are. (thinking of changing, with rect. @ Batts.)
Hard to say, but might be an answer to getting the voltage up, going
to smaller wire, etc.
Till then, thanks for the interest.
