I see on the various groups a lot of people working with the so called pulse motors. In a majority of them they use a coil and a bridge rectifier to recover energy, my question to anyone that is working with such a motor is to try a little different configuration on that pickup coil.
Use a full wave rectifier "just two diodes", fast diodes say 1N914's or 1N4148's and a cap of say 100uf, but leave one end of the pickup coil free "no connection". I would try this myself but have no motor to try it with and such a simple test does not encourage me to build one, yet it could show something different that might change the affect of Lenz. This open coil thing fascinates me and I see it is coming back again, just how can a transformer with low intertwining capacity work so well with one free end on the secondary. If some one tries the motor thing please post it, it should be of great interest.
