Briskwinds,
One must be careful who where they get advice. Ignorant or bad advice costs the same as educated and well reasoned advice on this forum.
When you lay your magnets out, be sure and consider the inside diameter of your 'cage'. Some have carefully laid out and drilled a few holes to find they 'met' on the inside and the design had to be rethought.
"I have found a small `motor manufacturer' who is very helpful. He is helping me in motor conversion(3HP). He will skew the stator for me, will wind the stator with any wire size and will also make full iron rotor."
It is quite possible the "small `motor manufacturer'" will be your most reliable source of input for this project. If you are skewing the stator, the rotor does not need skewing.
If "I" were doing your project (and I am not, it is not my time and/or money) I would think of the layout of the magnets to the inside of the rotor and then consider the 'sweep' of the outside. I would also wire 'two in hand' and then could parallel for 12V and series for 24V.
If our departed friend 'zubbly' were doing this project, he would have good input. He would also do a 'test winding' to determine projected voltage. From there he would calculate proper 'fill' for the slots and what size wire must be used.
Remember, this is your child. It is best you do your part and make sure it gets the best education and verified advice. If someone else 'screws it up', they don't have to live with the result, you do.
