Hi GK, I was wondering about the connections, parallel or series, because I had some trouble connecting to get rotation. Apparently so did Tesla as he shows it two different ways in some of his patents. One way he shows, does not work, pay close attention to winding start marks (dots) I have shown on my schematics. If they are not connected to rotate, the field in the coils will just shift back and forth like AC and you will be scratching your head like me when I first tried it (built from the wrong Tesla drawings, yes he was not infallible).
Nice looking build, I hope the gaps between quadrants don't allow to much stray or lost field?
