(User Info)

use thicker wire[#16or17]--75-85 turns should work out..make the hole in the coils about the same size as mags[a hair smaller is okay]..make the stator 1/4" thick,and you should get the max from your mags and coils..

heres a shot of my old 1/4" thick stator..single phase..coils inlaid in wood.

and a little box fan alt.powered by harddrive mags--single phase..[easy 10amps]
