thats the spirit splocal. I know how you feel. A part of me is yelling out to wind ten huge coils and make a 20ft, half ton rotor! Maybe its a good thing that I cant afford that kind of wire at the moment.

There are many different variations you can attempt too. I got a little window motor up and running on the Bedini/Cole circuit the other day, which was rather satisfying. The circuit is a little more complex and it took me a few go's to get it. You can have a few projects on the side, and perhaps start collecting things for a cap pulser setup and constructing bit by bit. The best work I've done so far, is the work I have forced myself to be patient with.
