Hello.
Today I tried some other fan mod setups. I found some more ways how it does not work First of all I found that if you use a thinner wire on one pole for the trigger coil, you can not use the pole on the other end for power windings. You have to use the next pole near the trigger pole on either side. Here is what I mean:



Ok. Anyway, I used one fan pole for trigger winding and the next one for power/recovery coils wound in bifilar way. At first I got the fan to run at the basic SSG circuit, leaving the recovery coil unused. Everything worked fine. Then I connected the recovery winding to the iput capacitor via a diode, like I do with my attraction motor. The neon was not flashing, that means thet the capacitor is absorbing the spikes, but I did not see any difference in amp draw. This is odd. Any ideas about what is wrong? I thought about this and came to conclusion that maybe the magnets are causing this, because Peter said that in order to get the BEMF to work along the input power, you need only electromagnets and no permanent magnets so that both magnetic fields do not interfere with each other. Might this be the cause?
This is the circuit I used:



The blue is the trigger winding, the red one is the power winding and the green one is the recovery winding.

Thanks,
