Peter,

Is that idea so old? I mean I was going to elementary school and burning fuses all around the house (early "experiments" with electricity) at the time you thought of it. Indeed, one has to admire your patience.

Jetijs also had knowledge and determination to make it reality. Although he made some hastily mistakes he also found a way to correct them in an elegant way. He deserves a lot of beer for his efforts. In fact you both do.


@Jetijs

Could you contact your wire supplier and see if he has flat wire of the adequate cross-section (I don't remember the cross section of the wire you're currently using)? Flat wire will allow for even more magnetic flux being transferred to the core or if you wish it will reduce stray flux to a minimum. Of course it's not necessary at this point and you shouldn't bother yourself with it but once you have some spare time and if you'll be still interested you could try to drain every last bit of performance from your motor using several tricks. Also, you could use different voltage regulator (or two of them in succession) to connect even more batteries if needed. I'll be glad to help as much as I can from across the Europe.
