Well here's the verdict on the loom winding..
ACCEPTABLE.... Not perfect, but ACCEPTABLE..

Managing 60 taps in an organized fashion, while keeping tension is a little difficult.. BUT this loom really helped.. Now to secure, label, remove loom, and repeat
the amount of work you are putting into this is commendable. do deserve to succeed.

Thanks K.. But the tedious tasks continue

Soldering the 120 tap wires to the coils is the step I am on now, then heat booting them all.. So a little more work to do..
Literally took all day to make these coils and prep this up..
Here are the completed coils, with 120 tap wires soldered and heat shrunk. 300 turns per coil, a tap every 5 turns

I then wound 200 turns on each side for the output coil of 24AWG, assembled the ferrite core and printed a mount.. Finally installed all 120 connectors on the commutator spokes.. Picture looks like a mess because IT IS!

Here's a closeup of the transformer alone

That's it for tonight.. All that's left is make the 120 connections to the terminals and test..
Do I think it will work? Don't Know... I have not even vitrified the commutator works without skipping, so there are a lot of variables that can go wrong.. But I got my fingers crossed.. More tomorrow..
OK It's wired! First basic test complete.. It's not a full out success- BUT encouraging!

Here is the output wave through an 8Ω resistor load

I only tested through 1 output coil (I have 2 there now).. So the results should realistically be double..
I am seeing almost 5V open circuit ant 1.2 amps shorted. With rather Slow RPM, as I can not spin this that quick with the motor I'm using..
You can obviously see my commutator has some skipping going on.. So it's an imperfect build.. But the most encouraging news is- Output INCREASES with RPM without affecting input!
Also remember, a standard alternator has like 36 output coils in it, My results are with 1 output coil..
Overall- I conclude this model HAS POSTENIAL, it is indeed inducing like a generator. It IS indeed producing a sinusoidal output wave, and it DOES indeed have some real current behind it. All from 1 output coil...
This method is worth further exploration and tweaking, as I think it can DEFINITELY achieve the goal IF designed better.
New Figuera coil setup / driving technique to be tested today or tomorrow.. Driven by Solid State circuit.

Tripole - interesting, oscillating a moving field at both ends? I'm going to guess you are moving the field sequentially through coils, one at a time to pick up the response from the bloch wall coil.

Here is the visual schematic for your Solid-State Figuera Coil driver circuit.
Would you like the Arduino Code? Let me know.

I ended up building two of these.. The one shown combines rotational induction WITH Sweeping past distance.
The second was almost the same, except all the separate coils in the same physical space so I just had rotational induction without sweeping.
I found the results very telling, kinda guiding me which way to go..
Result- Rotation WITH sweeping is much more efficient
