Yes i used the resistor in hopes of not welding my reeds.
This motor is the garry stanley motor i built from the other thread i made and each coil is 24 gauge at 2.5 ohms, 6 coils in center stator plate.
In the pure reed switch tests, i wired them in series. I'd have to hook a full wave bridge up while running to see dc or check ac with meter.
Yes i thought about trying caps, though the largest value ones i have are car audio caps, 1 at 1 farad and 2 at 1.5 farad. I also have a couple 450 volt-2400microfarad caps.
Maybe for starters i will hook one of the 1.5 farads in parallel with the 12 volt drive battery and see if it improves the charging, i haven't even checked the current draw yet, however reliable that is.
peace love light
