I have totally changed the rotor design.
I realized that the level of complexity in adjusting the rotor the way I was doing it made it very difficult to "tune" to the desired effect,, so I changed it into a much more simple design.
-
Ran a test with the old rotor design,, not optimized or anything special just using it as is,,
no load w\coils
15V 162mA
loaded
low side green .48V through 49 ohms .0098A draw increased to 166mA
high side red 5.22V through 500 ohms .01A draw increased to 167mA
So it seems that the increase in draw is related to the output amps only when using the same coils.

After a tear down of the testbed and reassembly I have not been able to get repeatable tests on this that confirm my first set of test runs.
-
I found that I was not using the information from my spreadsheet correctly for the generator torques,, when I do use the information correctly the generator shows to be a net zero condition.
The calculated output matches with what I see from the testbed but the required torque I was expecting was for the wrong setup.
