Shorting the coils in a generator is understandable, it's a way to boost the voltage, but in a motor it doesn't make sense, perhaps konehead doesn't fully understand what Ismael Aviso is doing, but has a pretty good idea since he helped him in the past.
Here's an alternative experiment if a generator is not available.
Replace generator with a battery and place a capacitor in series to prevent DC current. Then add an inductor in series and short it to ground and then disconnect and repeat. A diode and another battery can be used to capture the kickback.
This experiment will obviously not model and capture any of the magnetic resonances that might occur in a generator, but will let you validate the other claim, that the capacitor blocks DC and won't load down the generator if it would be used as the EMF source instead of the battery.
What you will realize if you draw this circuit out is the fact that you can extract power from a battery but only until the blocking capacitor charges up to the same voltage as the battery.
