""Sorry I don't understand your point, or are you also the poster in the closed post? I fail comprehend how that post refered to air core alternator's in particular, not cogging.""
Oh no, I'm not the poster from the closed post. I just didn't understand the problem with that post and suspected it was that I might not understand the terms. I thought it was a clear question when he wrote,
"if anyone has experimented with a variable airgap of some kind to control cogging"
And then I was confused when I saw the reply,
"Airgap alternators DO NOT cog. period.[CLOSED]"
So the point of my post was to ask shouldn't the above statement be,
"Air CORE alternators do not cog." (core, not gap)
I'm not very good with getting my point across, sorry if I only muddied the waters. I thought that since the post referenced overcoming cogging that it was clear it was not an air core alternator and also that it was most likely an axial as opposed to radial design. I assumed he was looking for some sort of mechanical way of closing the air gap with centrifugal force. Oh well, I think I am ok as far as understanding air core / air gap.
Thanks,
