I realized back in December how difficult it is to wind coils by hand, not to mention the poor quality. This lead me to have to stator bored out by a lathe, so that I could fit prewound coils. I could only make enough room to have two layers of coil, down and back. I also learned what the interrupted cut causes, very pretty pattern, but I sanded it off.
I had used a varnish to hold the different layers together, that had its own problems. Do you recommend 'metal epoxy?' Anyway, during the lathing some of the layers came off on the top and bottom of the stator. I epoxied those the layers that came off. This lead to the threaded stock I used in the stator to be stuck, . So I had drill new holes 45 degrees offset.
Progress comes to those who train and train. Reliance on secret techniques will get you nowhere.

So, what do you guys think about the circuit design I came up with? Are there any major problems that jump out at you?
The plan is to switch which one has a gate voltage with a Schmitt trigger controlled by a microcontroller.

Does anyone have a good reference for how the Watt to horse power conversion is determined? As in, what device is used to measure the energy changing forms?

I tend to use DC output because it's easy to get accurate measurement when you have DC in and DC out. Simple current shunt and volt meter. Simple way to do this is a mechanical connection (belt or direct coupling) from the motor to a GM 10-SI alternator (either permanent magnet or regulated) into a battery bank. Since 746 watts = 1 horsepower we know we have a fairly accurate reading based on that setup. Simply load the alternator down until the motor can no longer hold it's current RPM and take your readings. You already know that there are frictional losses etc with this setup so it's accurate to say that whatever output you get is conservative and includes these losses.

Exactly what I am building at the moment. Using simple hall effect:
And a Microchip 16F737 processor with a Mosfet driver output. Output stage is a 250V @ 75A rated mosfet with a small snubber across the output in case transients exceed the voltage rating of the fet.
Been out for a while. This is my latest small improvement. Aaron did explain to me how to pulse the radiant energy, however, I have not deciphered his secret language .
I have added a shaft with magnets. One key point is that when I add a capacitor 16V 33,000 mf, it generates volts in increments of about .25 volts per revolution, but, once it gets to 2.60, that is when it tremendously slows down. Any thought on this would be appreciated. I think that is point of which I should pulse into the charging battery, Or no pulse, just contact to the run battery.
Well.. it's been quite a learning curve, but here's my version. As the minuteness of the parts formed a great hindrance to my speed, I resolved to make the Creature of a gigantic stature.' Of course! That would simplify everything.

For what it's worth, I ran a test with the current setup as mentioned in the video to see what numbers came up.
I don't have anything new to add to my previous post, but I wanted to say Thank You to Peter, and all on this board that have shared their knowledge and experience. I've learned SO much just by reading and studying pictures, schematics, and even youtube videos.
All of it led to my version of a Lindermann Attraction Motor, that I have dubbed my "Infinite Improbability Drive"! LOL My previous post has a brief video of my motor in action. I have a couple things I'd like to do to my motor to try and increase the torque a bit. One of these ideas is to try Tesla's bifilar coil winding technique. I tried the experiment found here: Bifilar Electromagnet
I got a 40% increase in magnetic pull with that experiment, so I'm hoping that will translate to my motor. We'll see!
Anyway... Thank you all again for sharing knowledge and experiences. This is a wonderful concept, and I believe there are many practical applications for this type of motor.

Chuff,
Welcome to the thread, and thanks for sharing the videos and ideas. Your motor looks like it has BIG possibilities. Good luck with all of your experiments.
I only have one, small favor to ask....please spell my NAME CORRECTLY! There is no R in Lindemann.
