A run after moving 1 coil a little closer to the rotor and converting it to reed switch triggering (also clipped the metal legs and soldered thin copper wires to reduce reed to magnet interactions).
Quite the disastrous ending to the run and I don't know why it showed 0.00 on the meter. But, the rotor had begun to wobble, probably through interactions with the reed switch and i'm very happy with 11hrs anyway :)
See previous upload for details of the build.
