I think anyone can rate it, just click the 'Ratings' Top right side.

yes, silly me

nilrehob, you can try to play with some Diodes too, i did make a Thread about it once

Thanks for the tip!

I just tried the shorting of a coil yesterday (third circuit i pic).
I though the way i did it above was cool (second circuit in pic), but this is way cooler!
I have never had a neon-lamp go purple in any of my setups before, be it a motor generator or solid state, but the shorting of a coil gives me purple flashes, not just steady orange.
I just used my turntable, 8 small neodymiums, one coil, a reed-switch, a neon-lamp and then turned the rotor by hand and found a good spot for the reed-switch.
Without the switching the coil gives about 6vac peak-to-peak if i turn the turntable as fast as i can (~200rpm).

So simple and *really* cool!

new video out

Here is a video, using only one coil thats being shorted:
YouTube - Charge from slow motion part 3, no second coil, the single coil shorted

Try shorting a generating coil yourself.
This is golden!
