Here is an example of what BroMikey
was warning the other forum members about.
One of the magnets became a projectile.
This is why my build is outside, for testing and safety.
The last photo has a newly glued
replacement magnet in the pre-existing shell.

Backup Rotor

This unmodified rotor runs but does not charge like the other.
The led lights up, hmmm, what circuit is it completing?
Anyone want to trace my schematic and find out why?

This is my modified schematic.

Another Circuit?

I have used elementary building
techniques to make junk work together.
Now I am looping back to the run circuit.
How? I have photos!!!
Simple example!!
I am going to study the circuits involved
and make the proper adjustments.

Video

WR3 - YouTube

Something for the voyeurs to gawk at.
My naturally occurring obnoxious adzwhole beauty. Haaa...ha, y’all.
This is not my camera work.
I just try to explain different items with sound.
I am using my WR3 for the sound.

Schematic

The latest version of schematic.
C1 should be 20,000 microfarads 32 volts dc.
It is because one cap released the magic smoke
that makes disgusting toxins.

[spacecase0]

you can test for that sort of thing
not that hard
if you watch current closely as you charge a cap you can see.
what kind of test hardware do you have ?

Lubrication

The stock bearings are noisy.
Instead of buying and removing the old bearing,
which is a hassle, I experimented with lubes.
First it was dritz oil with zoom spout, then virgin coconut oil,
then crisco and then black moly grease.
I am now trying graphite with dritz oil.
Just pencil lead is what I am using.
It runs smooth and a whole lot quieter than usual.
It even allows faster spinning over any other that I have tried.
I will see how long it works.

Heat Shrink

To help keep your magnets in place and from becoming projectiles,
use heat shrink tubing from a place like ULINE.
The five inch 200 gauge tube is a roll of shrink tubing that is usually for wrapping items for commercial applications.
I do have an account with them so I used a sample that was sent.

Maybe two

I am currently using two layers for protection because one is not thick enough.

Night view

Figuring out how to Tesla.

Some scope shots

Photos of various waveforms from the different coils.
You will see the effects of my magnet arrangement.
Enjoy.

Now some shots after I put black moly in the bearings.
It smooths out the spurious waveforms and allows the truth to be seen.






The top two are of the middle coil.
The third is one half of the alternator.
The last is the collector from the heatsink.
