Hello,
	Is it possible to explain over e-mail how one could modify an AC 
motor to make it run sync.  I'm still a little confused about the flats 
on the armature etc.  Do you need special machining equip.?  What type of 
motor is easiest to modify?  Any help greatly appreciated thanks.

p.s.  The other day my friend and I decided to wrap a basketball with 
foil and see how it would affect our coils output if we used it as a 
secondary terminal.  We were getting 14-15" discharges from the bolt 
terminal, but the sphere reduced that to about 2"  :(  We of course 
played around with re-tuning the coil but not much improvement was realized.
Do you need to adjust the main cap. size when adding load to the 
secondary with spheres and torroids?
