So much replies in quick time, It will take some time to digest it.

I think I have not explained my posting clearly.

The magnets I have put on rotor is for showing the air gap only I will be getting.

I am thinking most here are doing 4 pole on motor conversion . So I should go for 4 pole.

Ok, I will do some testing by putting in single wire coil and measuring the voltage.

But again which type of coil arrangement should i make for testing.

As Zubbly has done here 8-10-12 winding. Should I go for this type for test winding or there is better alternative.

For test winding I have to make the magnet rotor first and have to decide on no. of poles. Should I place the magnets on rotor like zubbly has made it here on his 2 HP conversion. (4 pole)

If you were using an existing 4 pole winding then it would make sense to use a 4 pole rotor. As you have a free choice then 4 pole wouldn't be my choice. I would be having to choose between 6 and 12 pole, probably tending to 6 pole with those long teeth.

Until you choose your number of poles you can't make any winding decisions. Four pole would have 3 concentric coils , 6 pole 2 concentric coils and 12 pole wold only have one coil per pole pitch per phase. When you have chosen your number of poles you might as well stick to Zubbly's coil spans, then at least you have a reference.

If you say you chose those little magnets to settle the air gap then you have decided on magnets 10mm thick unless you machine more off the rotor core, I would have gone for minimum of 12 mm.

The big snag with small pole numbers is that you really need proper curved magnets. Attempting to approximate with rectangular magnets gives large mean air gaps. The circular magnets fit the curve better but do waste a lot of potential area, you can't really win with common magnets.
