If my calculation is correct the energy in his capacitor is about a foot pound. The windage and other losses of turning that rotor for 3 hours must be greater than that, surely. If what Sprain claims is true he has a right to be pissed off. However, I would be happier if Sprain had said, "they had run their motor just from a charged cap - with no outside power source". rather than, "they could run their motor just from a charged cap - with no outside power source", which might suggest that they were confident it would work but they hadn't actually tried it yet. Perhaps Terry could enlighten us on this point. Frank
