Did I mention the 48 1 x 1 x 1/4 ones I can get in N48? For all 96 (inner & outer)the set is only $120!!! But after drawing the thing up, I realized where you may be coming from. With the 2x1x1/2 ones mounted long-ways on the ID, it takes 24 of them. I can get them in N45 here for about $100.

Then, if it doesn't produce enough with just the "single rotor", I could always add the inner rotor later. Just as a single rotor though, I'd have twice as many mags as most radials do. THEN, If the thing works half-way decent at all, I should put out some serious power! For the size & construction though, it would always be limited to not much more than 300rpm.
Mark: You'll have to explain a little more about the band w/no mags. Yes, my email is working. ruralmcguyver at yahoo dot com
I am able to manage all my electric needs (and then some) with a steady 3amps input into my battery bank. I have 6 12v 115amp/hr batteries now!!! This isn't counting what I'm getting from my 45watt H.F. solar panels. So...I figure the 5amp figure I was shooting for with this gennie was a good-safe goal.
I appreciate all your help on this. Even though I enjoy doing this kind of thing, it is kind of a 1-shot deal, at least for a year or so. So it's not like if the mags I buy don't work, I can set them aside to use on another project & buy some more.
For now, it looks like the 1x2x1/2 ones are pretty sure. If I do have to add the inner rotor though, it'll take me another year to save up for them.
Thanks again everyone!
