I am building a single rotor machine and have now realized that I should have gone for the dual rotor due to the increased flux in having two rotors.
Yet I will continue as I am sure that:
I can learn from the construction methods.
Not yet cast stator or put on the magnets on disc
blades carved 1.4m dia
Design based on the Piggot 4ft machine
Round magnets or rectangular why do you say round are better?

I've heard the flux is just better. I'm not an expert on magnets or stator design but it just seems to jive a bit better with the way the stator coils are setup. The difference is fairly noticeable I guess, or people wouldn't be choosing them over rectangular.
