Today I made some new tests. First of all I thought that the battery type that you use to energize the setup could be important. Tried it with a 12v NiCd battery from a portable drill - nothing. Then I tried if the tape around the segments would do something, as David has some tape on the pieces and they are essentially closed on the sides. This also did not give any results. Then I thought that maybe those pieces should indeed have their bottom sides left open and not sit on a plate. So I cut my rotating plate in smaller diameter and drilled a hole in 6 of the segments. Then I put a bolt in that hole and assembled the pieces together. The whole assembly is now attached to the rotating part via those bolts which are fixed with hot glue. This also did not help, I tried two battery types for this. So I am beginning to think that I live in an energetic hole or something
BTW, this is my huge PMH
