12, 3, 6 and 9 on your clock are 90 out and they are very symmetrical.


so are 1,4,7,10 but not 2,3,7,12.

That reminds me of the "clock arithmetic" we had in school once, where 1
- 2 = 11. It's mod12 where you say 12 when you really mean 0.

(using a capacitor like starting a motor) but not in an alternator.


I suppose you could if it was wound right.

Would be awfulldifficult to balance both statically and under load
