Yeah, my little test that I put together has the rotor or stator capable of moving on the axle, I wanted to see about specificaly what you just mentioned.

I'm just waiting on my DC power supply now. I tried using a PC power supply, but it puts out pulse DC and super-imposes an ac wave in my coil.

Just makes the coil buzz.....it should be dead silent. I have to wait another week to get the power supply....bummer.
