Robert, et all,
There is a limit to the maximum repeatable switching time that a
microswitch can switch at. It has to do with the spring constant
if it is spring loaded, or reed switch with rebounding properties,
or other physical properties.. which will regulate how fast it can
switch and rebound. Given 2400rpm, or 40 rps and a 10 percent
duty cycle of switching (maybe shorter?) will yield 2.5 milli sec
switching speed at best. If a microswitch has 10mS rating on
switch over to recovery time, then the duty cycle will suffer until
it reaches 50%. That would be called 'floating' cause the switch
will not open (or close) when it was suppose to. Weird things then
could happen. Suggest a faster switch be used that has rating of
1uS time so that absolutes can be obtained.

Just my thoughts...

Hello Hans and all, I have not put a load on the rotor shaft yet. I have
been so occupied with the voltage input to the battery, trying to nail
that
down with different tests. But today at work, I managed to make me a
pulley
to install on the output shaft. I have a small DC generator to connect
to it
by a small belt. Then I see what it will do. Regards, Robert
