Sorry to hear of your disaster while raising your generator. I know exactly how you feel, because I lost the use of my main generator 3 weeks ago in the storm that went through N.B. Although my damage was much less, only a burned stator, it put the machine out of bussiness until it,s repaired.
I,m sure you will get some great comments on your handiwork. I must say you did a great job on the construction of your generator, with all the extras you added, like 12/24, auto delta/star, adding silica sand to your stator mixture,epoxy paint,and I take it the small pulley on the photo of the generator is for manual furling. Sounds like you had lots of help throughout the whole build and I expect you will be back in the air soon.
I am waiting for 32 magnets 3 x 1 1/2 x 3/4 and 2 steel disc 18 inch in dia. I am currently winding 12 coils for a copy of Dan B's 17 footer. This time I will make sure my generator furl,s sooner. I can always add weight later if need be.
Im in Perth,N.B. Keep up the good work. Mitcamp
