This brings up memories of other posts where it was disputed if the power came from the coil legs or from the coil as a whole. This design will cut the "legs" by half. I can easily do a test with a single rotor without gluing the magnets. First with magnets the traditional way, then sideways. The test coil will be the same size either way so I just rotate it 90 degrees also. I may not put that argument to bed but I can post real comparisons. Andy[ Parent ]

Looks like DanB did the exact same test. Well, it wouldn't hurt my education to do it also. A little more shop time instead of book time...Andy[ Parent ]
