You seem to have a good understanding of what I`m doing here. The points mentioned are all high priority and must be followed exactly. Polarity and especially winding direction must be adhered to or everything fails. I had an early machine with a different rotor configuration with all north on one side and all south on the other. Closing the magnetic loop was critical to getting any real output. Very difficult to build and never got around to making it out of laminated. This machine however, with alternating North and South design on the rotor has made very little if any difference so I gave up on the difficult idea. During construction attention was give to "perfect alignment" and all coils are struck at precisely the same instant so being in phase has not been an issue. The main point you hit ..."the coil acts more like a resistor" seems to be exactly what I am experiencing. Its worth noting since I started this post that I have been able to somewhat overcome the problem by adding a small isolation transformer to each pair of coils. This had indeed produced a full 4 amp output from 2 pairs of coils !  Seems like a long way to go but results were truly amazing. There must be an easier way to address this and I can`t be the only one that ever run up on this problem. After many yrs. of testing various core materials and coil designs and connections I have concluded that 1.2 amps per coil is max to expect so I am very satisfied to get 2 amps per pair and can do a lot with that. Now getting them to all play well together has been the real challenge. I`ll be sure and check out  the link. Seems like a lot are working outside the box over there. Thanks !
