I know your probing for something to be wrong, and unfortunately in process of looking you didn't listen to what I said.
The yellow clip is to hold the multi meter (I didn't mention that), The current is high because I am stepping up to near 36 volt. Thats modified motor which you have no experience with at 24 volt runs about 1.5 amp no load. The jumpy current is because the motor discharges back to source, a good portion of we put in it and the BEMF. Analogs jump around to.
A scope is the only probe that will average out the RMS value of the current and make it appear stable. The only thing that limits the current going into the motor is time on. Its in constant inrush state.
Unlike the motor your using which is conventional and throws 85% of its current away just charging the coils after the initial inrush and first rotation. This is pretty documented stuff in this community, especially how in efficient and underpowered conventional motors are.
If your going to use it as a generator Instead of using 3 strand of 24 I would use 1 strand and go for the voltage, then use a regulator. Either way though a motor converted is going to find away to slow down unless you can get 10 ohms of resistance on that rotor per coil. Thats going to be like 28 or 30 awg pretty useless. The rotor has alot of iron mass and the ratio of copper needed to get it to accelerate and produce any real current just won't fit on it.
I would save the motor, give me a few days I am putting a small little gen together. If it works I can send you the pieces and a some shaft, probably bearings too. You'll have to get the wire though you'll need a 11lb spool for both coils. You already have the magnets.
The modified motor should be able to get the rotor up to speed enough to cause the acceleration.
Email me and let me know.
