What about using 6 permanent magnets and 3 electromagnets and making an opposed-piston engine design? That'd be really cool. Thanks for showing your motors and designs!!! Absolutely fascinating!!!

The first motor why they don't have pico farad cap on its

[@jeffg8232]

I assume you are suggesting adding a capacitor to help suppress the spark. I suppose that could be done, although I prefer using good sized diode to kill the back EMF. However, it is important to me to leave the motor exactly as built, rather than to modify it. That's why I built the more modern version.
