Toyota MGR first test video

Here's a video of the motor spinning at 120vDC with saliency constant of +infinity (so treating it like a regular permanent magnet motor. Id = 0, Iq = throttle. I'll run some tests later to find the ideal Id to get the most torque per amp). First is the motor spinning with the case off. Then we stick it back together and put the oil back in (not overfilling it this time!! Thanks e*clipse!!). My wife got the data transferred and made space on the phone. I'm so grateful for her. She also did the video. Josiah did the lighting. He was practicing with a vase of flowers for a couple hours. He likes to experiment. Actually, part of the reason there was no room on the phone was due to there being 9000 pictures of flowers in a vase. haha.
