The neos were spaced pretty far apart. I could fit 24+ around the outer edge of each rotor, and have only 12 in there now. It's a money thing, hmmm, 24 big neos on each rotor at so much per magnet, and pretty soon we're talkin' some real money.
I think I will end up with a compromise of 14 or 16 neos per rotor.

Money issues aside, the wider spacing will actually give better results than would more magnets with closer spacing, due to leakage flux and voltage cancellation.
