This took me by surprise!
Nine low-voltage coils in series are connected to a variac.
The sum of the EMF in the coils is ~5.5V
The yellow trace is the 10th unused coil.
The blue trace is the current measured across a 1 ohm resistor.
The purple trace is the output from the transformer.
When the output from the transformer is decreased below the EMF the current shifts and the rotor continues to run.
If You understand what’s going on please explain!
