Re: [TCML] SRSG curiosity

To time a sync gap you have to have the rotating electrodes at the 
exact position with regards to the stationary electrodes when the 
transformer waveform is at its peak.

Depending on the number of electrodes and the speed of the motor, 
this can be a relatively small number of degrees.

You want the rotor to be keyed to the shaft so it cannot slip.

Now if you try and time the rotor, you will need some sort of 
accurate strobe and reference. Then stop the motor, slip the rotor 
and try, try, try again! Then you should drill and pin the rotor to 
the motor shaft.
Once you have it close, then you will still rotate the motor to get 
the final result.

Much easier to put the rotor on and try it and adjust the motor for 
the best results. If the rotor is too far out, just change its 
position on the shaft  and try again.

Not complicated and does not require a lot of equipment and very easy and fast.

You can put some brushes on the stationary contacts so they make 
electrical connection with the rotor and reduce the voltage from the 
HV transformer and connect a voltmeter to the gap and adjust the 
motor for max voltage. Then remove the brushes and you are all set!
