What's the spec of your coils.

So if your recovery coil can not generate at least 30 volts conventionally, it will be hard for you to get those high voltage spikes. If so, just add some more turns of wire on your coil.
Well thank you Jetijs,

May you tell me the specs of your coils? I mean what gauge wire and how many turns?
It seems that thinner wire maybe better, because it will have more impedance and more turns of it will fit it, I was thinking to use #35, #36, what do you think? we need not current, and only potential.

Have you put capacitors at the end of the bridge? I used a capacitor and it seemed that it had no drag on the rotor, despite the fact that loading it certainly has. I think that capacitors don't draw much current to get charged, and are charged mostly by potential.
