Jim - Was using the same kind of brushes myself yesterday  Nowhere as good as your result though  The real carbon one would move in the grip of the clip lead jaws, so I just took it out and carried on. Mike - Tried that too...we're all motoring along in a similar direction. But over here it was just the rotor from something that got taken apart years ago. Pic below, with Dremel motor behind it having similar tests with stator in place. There only need to be very small magnets on the rotor itself to move it by using another very small magnet at the distance a field coil would be at. To me, that means that at speed, an opposite pole magnet can push a rotor segment past the missing pole section. It's where to place them...was looking at the actual windings and, at least on that rotor, the windings are 1 section short of covering 180 degrees. Each winding crosses 5 sections of the 12 section rotor. If a magnet sat on each segment, it would negate the effect of the last. Therefore, there have to be either 1/2 the number or 2 or whatever you motor guru's tell me there should be lol As it sits now, it has 1 magnet per 4 poles, the thinking being to introduce an asymmetric method to how it runs. Mind you, i did that after watching the 1961 AC motors video on YouTube that someone linked to, where the rotor is shown lagging behind the field coils. Will certainly try a cap across the brushes again. I was thinking HV types and small electrolytics, but presumably a 'soaker' is needed. As luck would have it, 2x 6800uF 80V were found yesterday, tatty condition so can blow up if they want to
