Hi Luc,
From my understanding of it he is not shorting the coils in the fashion that this thread is discussing (pulse shorting). He is just using a constant short to provide an infinite load, there in lies the difference. Sorry if my comments were unclear. Also he dosnt always direct short it, he has been using resistive loads on it as well(bulbs). Thanes magic happens from the extremely high impedance precharging the coil with only potential on the magnet approach, then at tdc the impediance drops to 0 thereby allowing the precharged potential to come out as current, pushing the magnet away, please correct me if im wrong or missing something. I was suggesting that we could use a shorter coil length and slower rotor/magnet frequency by using the pulse short technique to trick the coil into thinking the rotor speed was extremely fast by using a short pulse duration slightly before through slightly after tdc. The coil would be open for most of the rotation, so it would not "see" any frequency until the short occures, so we could possibly trick and manipulate what the coil "sees" by using a short pulse to achieve the same results. Just a theory, may be wrong What do ya think, plausable, or just a wacko idea, or am i still not making any sense? Ill have to setup a better model to run some more tests, to many projects
