So, you're saying, if I were to lay the rotor out flat, it would go: copper wire (shorted to every other piece of copper wire), insulator, slab of something magnetic-able, insulator, another copper wire, etc.etc. I'll give that a shot...
It did...but it said inducing a current is basically a side effect of the magnetic field. Same thing but different...Wiki should have said the idea is to induce a magnetic field, not current.
Overlap - I've tried a few different angles so far, even angling the stators the opposite way to the rotor angles...Having the electro/mechanical part of the rotor on a twist does help starting as the magnetic parts will cross phase ( in two fields at the same time ) . Over lapping the stator coils will also make a difference but what you have should move. (spin start? maybe) The bare metal in the stator coils should be facing the rotor, like you had in the first place.
Spin start - no joy...
Bare metal - that's what I thought...and I've put it back that way.
I just wanna see this thing spin so I can giggle like a little 12 year old...
