Example: 2x2x.5 mags join 2 to make 2x4x.5
Thx
There is a strong repulsive force between them and with magnets that size you will need strong glue and you will have a fight to hold them until it sets. If they are on a steel backing it will be easier as the attraction force to the steel will reduce the effect of repulsion. Watch your fingers, if one flips you will know about it.

another q for ya,...im winding with 16gauge 180 turns to achieve 1 inch of width with 1/2 thickness, with that width i will get 2 inches between 2 coils so the mag (2x2x.5) will cover both coil legs. I have read about burning stators can it be fixed just by using thicker wire?
Thx[ Parent ]
I am fairly sure it is broke, but I don't understand the question and without much more details I can't help.
180 turns of 16 gauge? Are you going for the megavolt.
Sounds like you are going for something big, it would need to very high voltage to use 16gauge.

mags 2x2x.5
coil dimension
center or hole is 2 inches wide at the top, 1 inch wide at bottom with 2 inch legs, coil width 1 inch, coil thickness or height 1/2 inch.
180 turns 16 gauge wire, is it possible the mags can overload that gauge of wire.?
goal is 9 coils 3 phase 12 mags per mag rotor.
thx

Without details of voltage and intended power I just can't form any idea of the current.
I think you are confused by something that has been stated here at times. Whatever you do to the coil or however badly you make it, you will not overload the wire without connecting it into a circuit. There has been comments about cancellation causing heat and I suspect this is what is bothering you. With large numbers of turns of thin wire you will be limited to a low current and to get decent power you will need to work on a very high voltage system. If it is for heating then it may be absolutely fine but I really have no idea what you are trying to do.
So I guess my worry is when the genny is fully loaded chargin batt bank or whatever,...will the 16 gauge burn at a certain rpm...[ Parent ]
To be tackling pitch control you must be good on the mechanical side of things, you seem to be struggling with the electrical side. It may be a good idea to give the information when you have decided what you are aiming for and let someone else look at it. I am not sure you are going in the right direction at present.

If you used the right glue (epoxy?) and allowed it to properly cure before removing the clamps, I think it could work.
Note that in my test, I used a flat backing plate for the magnets. On a curved surface it is much much harder to get the magnets close together without them toppling or moving.
Note also that those magnets were quite a bit smaller than your proposed ones. And yes, what Flux says: if one flips and smashes into the other with your finger in between, you'll scream like a piglet having its, ehm, you know, removed.
What you propose isn't my idea of fun, but could be doable, if you'd have/make the right fixtures.
