@Kevin: So you are rotating your batteries on your setup. If it's been working for you, I can't imagine why certain people (who shall not be named ) would tell you that you can't do it with that setup. It doesn't make any sense to me. And of course when you ask about it, all you get is the stock 'we don't answer questions like those on this list'.

Ok, one more stupid question than I'll shaddap. With the 'superpole' setup, how do you orient the magnets on the rotor? Do you just stack them as you normally would with one north facing the outside of the rotor and one facing in, or do you orient the magnetic "sandwich" so that the plane where the norths meet faces outward?
