Hello dear friend Ufopolitics,

Thank you for the update and for being open about the results.
Setbacks like this are part of the process, especially when working on new unknown field.

I agree with you that it is still worth giving **Version 2** a proper test.

Even when results look discouraging at first sigth, they often reveal important information once we slow things down and isolate behaviors.

Your idea of building a new **Dual Brushed Rotary Switch** makes a lot of sense.

Being able to hand-turn the shaft and observe the system in slow motion, while monitoring signals and coil behavior, is a very powerful diagnostic approach.
It removes a lot of timing and driver complexity and lets the physics show itself directly.

Using a robust brushed commutation method as a reference will be extremely valuable not as a final solution, but as a **baseline** to understand sequencing, overlap, OFF time, and field behavior in a controlled and observable way.

Once that behavior is well understood, translating it back into electronics becomes much clearer.

No need to apologize this kind of work *always* involves frustrations.

What matters is that each test is teaching us something, step by step and you are clearly staying focused and work methodical.

I am glad to continue helping where I can, and look forward to seeing what the dual rotary setup reveals.

Hello All,

Hello my dear friend Alex...

I have been all night and part of day thinking about this ...

I've realized the "Method" of reading the Groups Power with meter (like shown on video) is WRONG!

IT WILL ALWAYS GIVE ME "POWER" IN ALL SEQUENCED COILS...simply because the "Meter" will be closing the circuit between Positive & Negative that is ALWAYS ON, on ALL CONTACTS.

Even with a Commutator, it will show "power" if the driver is just powering Group 1, because they are ALL in SERIES...if I close (with meter probes) the terminals #8  & #8...I will read power.

ALL the Circuit (Terminals) have "power" at all times, but they are not "jumped".

I was just "JUMPING" powered terminals with meter...and of course I will read "power on" on every single coil.

On this Method we have specific  "SEGMENTS" (Groups) between Negative-Positive that are ON...However, ALL the rest of terminals (Positive and Negative) have "LIVE POWER" at ALL TIMES...and so if we jump ANY other terminal, it will CLOSE and show power ON.

It will show different Power Levels at ANY Two terminals, just because it is SWITCHING and adding the COILS RESISTANCE...so it will show what we observed, different levels of power.

Sorry, my bad...

Regards

Hello All,

Ok, so I ran a test with V2 but instead of 15 Coils in series, I have now 15 small incandescent light  bulbs (from Christmas Trees) also in series...

And we can see there is no sequential pattern, according to the way we needed to be...

There are Four Light Blubs that are not lighting at all...#1, #2 & #7 & #8.

We do not have the Group Displacement at all here.

And this is why we do not have any induction at all on output.

I will test next the V1...to see what we get.

Ok, so I  added both test on this post...here is the Test Video on V1:

And we have the same thing...very similar display as V2...except here is a bit better pattern.

Also there are Four Light Blubs that are not lighting at all...#1, #2 & #7 & #8.

But on this video I mentioned something I forgot on V2 Test...the Concentration of power on center and starts dimming out towards left and right from center...to the point the extreme two bulbs almost do not get any power at all...

Very UNEVEN Distribution of power.

Hello dear friend Ufopolitics,

Thank you for the update.
Please do not apologize this is exactly how real development work looks, especially at this stage.

Version 2 not behaving as expected is disappointing, Yes, but this is also very valuable information.

From what you describe, I agree fully with your key observation: if **all sequential coils are effectively ON at the same time**, then there is no true sequencing and the system cannot behave as intended. In that case, the driver is no longer delivering focused energy to a single group, but instead spreading it across everything which would explain the weak response only a faint filament glow.

I would also agree that this does **not** automatically imply faulty coils or a failure of the overall concept.
It strongly points to a **logic / drive-state issue**, such as:
* gates not being fully pulled low during OFF time,
* insufficient gate-to-source margin for true turn-off,
* or overlapping states that never allow a group to fully disengage.

Leakage from drain to source on *all* FETs would indeed be very unlikely.
Much more commonly, what looks like "everything ON" is caused by:
* floating gates,
* shared references,
* missing or weak pull-downs,
* or logic states that never reach a clean OFF condition at low frequency.

Your idea of running at **very low Frequency** to visually confirm real ON / OFF states is exactly the right diagnostic approach.

At slow speed, a true sequence should be obvious if it is not, then the issue is upstream in logic or gate control, not in the power stage itself.

Most important point: nothing here suggests wasted effort. Version 2 "failing harder" than Version 1 actually narrows the problem space and tells us *where not to look*.
That is progress, even if it does not feel like it right now.

Take a break if needed this is not lost ground.
It is just the point where the system is telling us very clearly: **fix the OFF state first**.

We will get there.

Regards, Alex

Hello dear friend Ufopolitics,

That is actually a very good step and an important clarification.

You are right: by probing different terminals with the meter, the meter itself is effectively closing a circuit, so it will naturally show voltage or "Power" even on segments that are not part of the active sequence. 

In a topology where terminals are live and coils are in series or distributed, that kind of probing will always make it *look* like everything is ON.

So yes, that explains the confusing readings and why different terminal pairs showed different levels the measurement method was influencing the result.

To really confirm sequencing, the key will be to observe current flow, or voltage across a fixed, permanently connected load, without using the meter to the bridge terminals.

Slowing things down, as you suggested, or using a commutator / one-hot selector will make that much clearer.

This insight definitely helps separate measurement errors from actual system behavior.

Regards, Alex

If you want, I can help you with a follow-up test plan step-by-step that avoids this error completely.
Let me know.
