This is an initial test of the experimental copper brush carrier.  The video also demonstrates the effects of partial shorts in the armature.  As they are blown out, the current of the motor drops.  Compared to other videos I have seen of the Agni, 2.5 amps at 12 volts is a rather good figure.  Don't try this at home... I was using a lot of safety equipment and stayed away from the tangential path of armature fragments if it exploded, as this is past what the motor is designed to take!
