I will continue to use the alt I have built as a test alt for playing around with blades and will try smaller 3 and 5 blade props on it. It always was meant as an experiment and I have learned lots from it.

     I'm going to pursue the other idea of the alt with 16 magnets and since it is single magnet rotor it will be easy to do test coils and such with before committing to  the finished design. I'll come back to check my numbers before I pour a stator since I will need to get the # of turns, stator thickness, air gap, and blade diameter all in sync.
