When you went to the round magnets did you have to use a larger diameter rotor, and stator, or did you use the same size? I believe the rotors were 14" with 16 1 by 2 by 1/2" magnets. Also, How thick did you make the stator in standard terms. I have a hard time with metric. I like the twice the power. I would like to build an alternator like that for mine so it would cut in sooner, or the same as now with a wider gap. I have a Hugh 12 footer and my stator is a bit to thick too. I am dangerously close with my air gap, but it helped a lot to slow down the blades to around 360 rpm. It would be nice to have that with a larger gap. I bet I was over 500 rpm before. I am about 11/16" now and was about 13/16". My stator is almost 9/16" thick with the wire coming out over the coil. I like the idea of winding it smaller in thickness. Glad you guys had a good time and a safe return.
