So I dug up a few more fans from the old computer supply bin and found a nice smaller, 3" diameter blade, pc fan. This one did not have bifilar winds. So it started right up on 12 volts. Though at 12 volts the speed is a little low, though it draws 80 milliamps at 12 volts, that could be why. So i tried 24 volts and it really flies on 24 volts @ 150 milliamps and the transistor is stone cold. The fan is sticker rated at 12v, .14A. Haven't tried using the flyback yet, I'll see later today how that is.
Has anyone else rewound their stators and got it to work and if so, what gauge wire did you use, thanks.
peace love light
