sorry i missed it 3 wires out the stator which weigh 20 lbs and each rotor is 9 1/4 lbs whole assembly including tail weight 55 to 60 lbs

Yes that rules out Jerry connecting it so you are stuck with 24v minimum.

To wind another stator (i'll have to hide from the wife to do this and be ending up with 3 spare ones) the cost of the wire is far less than a 24 volt inverter. In the coming weeks D V i'll wind with 2 in hand #14 36 turns
ps how can i submit pictures with the post

Hi Jason, 2 in hand #14 36 turns is fine for 3 coils per phase, but you have 4 coils per phase.

turns x 3 coils = 108 turns per phase.
turns / 4 coils = 27 turns per coil.

Blessings, Snow Crow

Thanks Snowcrow so it looks like 27 turns of 2 strands of #14 awg magnetic wire

I would be inclined to suspect that 27 turns will be ok for 10ft.

Before winding a new stator I would try running the existing one into higher voltages until you then find the correct load speed.

From Ghurd's figures you are way better at 24v, I would also try 36 as I think it may do better. If it does then try 48 and if that is worse you have gone too far.

Then say it worked best at 36v you would use 1/3 of the existing turns. That way you have your result without more trial and possibly error.
