Hi shylo,
Do you prefer shylo or your signature which is artv? Anyway I have been studying your picture and sketch. I have some questions for you. Do you have the same number of drive coils as you have magnetic poles on the rotor? And do you have the coils connected so that every other one is the same polarity and the ones in between are the opposite polarity? In other words your coils have to match the poles of the rotor except to get rotation the coils have to either attract or repel the rotor. You need to turn them all on with half of them being opposite polarity and then reversing the power after the rotor gets near the next coil. I hope that made sense. I also think you will have to use magnet wire (the enamel covered wire) in order to get any good results. It can be a pain to wind but it is the only way to get enough wire into the slots to have a strong magnetic field. I think you may be able to get it to run with what you have but the results won't really mean a lot because of the weak field produced.
As for Farmhand's drawing I think he is showing a way to use the Figuera device. The tall hill or tower is a way to collect some power and then use that to power the Figuera device. You can collect some pretty high voltage from a tall tower or a high hill. Tesla was very familiar with that idea. The current is usually pretty small but the Figuera device may have been designed to convert the high voltage at low current into a lower voltage higher current AC in order for the power to be usable.
See ya, Carroll
