Experimenting
Yes UFO I did know I wasn't supposed to run it on that much voltage. I just bumped it with what I had in front of me to make sure it was going to spin. I am just experimenting. I have a few of these motors and I plan on having a few different interchangable rotors so I can see for myself the difference. With this gage I don't think I could get another 2 wraps per coil. It may just be a failure attempt but that's ok. It is all part of learning the perameters.

mulitmeter, seemed to agree with the Alcatel Magnet wire guide completely. How in the world did you get a coil coming in around one ohm on that little motor using 26ga?
Bad for doing real work as I have some plans on seeing how much energy it can make. But I am happy with the ohms per group and heating seems very under control and will look at 24v. I think I used 26ga on the quad and it had .6-.7ohms per coil, and the brush assemblies are just not heat tolerant, failed a brush set fast (haven't disassembled yet to find out exactly). Pretty sure its best to pursue your unipolar windings though instead. I would rather rewind it that way, before I do anything serious with it. I might try to repair it just to get good comparisons to the unipolar. I would almost say that I should go up a gauge to 27ga on it also, since it ran so hot. But maybe need to get the pulsers working to see how they help.
