I plan on mechanical switching using spark gaps. For my motor I am replicating Gary Stanley's air coil motors which have little or no Lenz loss because of the way they are constructed, and with the use of spark gaps (yes THOSE things again) can actually contribute some power to this setup. (See the Gary Stanley thread here at EF)
With my weighted shaft and flywheel, a Lenzless pulse motor and 16 coils run through spark gaps, I hope I have something interesting when I am done. I will be charging a large capacitor bank I have constructed, and charging my batteries from that.
There will be 8 different rotors on my shaft, some for the motor and some for the energizer, and none of them firing at the same time, so I should be able to get the shaft up to pretty high speed with all that kick the rotors will be putting out. I guess time will tell.
I have been working on this idea for some time, and have finally gotten it all to come together. My magnets just got here on Friday, so I am going to start bolting things together come Tuesday morning.
