Let assume for argument sake we have 6 separate outputs (coils) and they are all in perfect phase with each other and all polarities are correct. Now we have a single coil that will output 120vac @ 2 amps. If we add another identical coil just sitting on the bench to the output it becomes a load (resistance) and voltage drops.  Now place this coil in the machine and it outputs 120vac @ 2 amps. Now assuming everything is in perfect phase we should have 120vac with available 4 amps. Am I correct in my thinking? Because we do not get 4 amps. The additional coil is still a load and we only get around 1/4 amp additional. I have been able to overcome this problem by adding isolation transformers to the outputs and I get my 4 amps. But this is a long way to go and it seems there must be a better way. Forgive me. I realize this is a crude analogy on my own words but its the only way I know how to explain it. The problem is combining the outputs and getting all available power out.
