I have been trying to get an SSG circuit running using a pipe between 2 coils and 2 neo dymiam's with the South back to back. I am not sure if it will have any advantages this way or not. What I was hope for was faster HIT rate on the coils. The wheel is good but to get a rapid hit rate you have to use a small wheel and a very stable surface. This isn't somthing I have been able to come by easily. The best RPM rate I got is with a wheel I made from plastic and skateboard bearings. It goes about 420 RPMS (Normal SSG). Thats 4200 magnetic hits a minute on the one coil.

I figure If I bounce the magnet back and forth within a 8 inch tube, the magnets set being about 1 1/4 of an inch, 10k - 12k hits per minute, on 2 COILS.

I have had some problems though with a wound trigger firing. The only way I could make it work was add a little iron outside the pipe, wrap the pipe and iron with wire. This gave to much resistance once the magnet got towards the trigger. I got some reed switches coming and I am going to give them a try for a trigger.

My end goal is to try to overcome a load on the extra wire I have in the coils. I have 2 POWER wires for the SSG circuit than I have 4 extra wires. Each wire is actually 2 18 awg wire twisted for about 6 ohms of resistance.

Anybody who has played with the extra wire and dumping them into Caps, if you have just powered (No Bridge) out to a capacitor you'll notice it puts a load on the machine. Hopefully If it works out I can dump the extra wires into a Cap bank backwards then slowly discharge the last cap back into the run side of the circuit. Self runner. I hope.

Then I gotta come up with a way to make it stop, LOL
