I know you've seen the video's we posted already. Did you see the server rack power supply we were using? Fortunately it has an integrated Vout meter and an Iout meter. I will see if I can get those values this evening. These will be free speed values only. I truly doubt the metering circuit can display the actual current drawn when the Frisbee passes through the shooter.
We have seen the current jump from 3A range to 10A+ and back down with the CIM and a 6in wheel, but I doubt it is accurate.

More data to follow.
