with a bit more work done on the mill .i had to make sum new mods.
with the second rotor finished and fitting on the shaft i was now ready
to start with testing coils.
in fact i was itching to test the coils and check it all out for cut in.
my coil winder was ready to go.
but i had to sort sum things out. things that needed welding grinding etc.
i thought it best to leave the coil winding a stator building to last.
so got on with the dirty work cutting and welding.
i made sum new mounts for the stator. and also made from 316 stainless
new studding .
this had 12mm thread on the frame and 10mm thread on stator.
i made from a scrap shaft i made for the mark one .so that was lucky.
with all the new bits welded i gave it a coat of paint(again)
i had no blue left so used yellow. (now its called the yellow peril)
happy with what i done i started to think about the new stator.
now i run into a problem. whare i had the jacking screws fitted
it fualed on the inside of the stator.
and as its only a mini gen with a 9" rotor i had no room on the inside of the
stator to allow for jacking screws. what a pain this was turning out to be.
the jacking screws worked well with just the two rotors in position
but the hole in the middle was now to small.
but after a nights sleep i got the idea to use the same jacking screws but in a different way .
so i made up a puller with scrap bits.
used the same threaded holes. and now fitted into the end of the shaft,
so i had a bit luck there.
shaft was a bit on the short side so had to make a small extension .
and now i can pull the rotor off till its past the pull of the other rotor.
i forgot how little room there was inside the small stator.
also i played about with balancing the two rotors on there shaft.
it needed a bit added. why you ask did it need a bit added.
well when i cut out four mags i had in the wrong way. i don't think i got them back in right.
couldn't use the magnet jig now. wouldn't fit.
or just maybe sum thing else.
but im happy with the balance now.(considering)
sorry for all the text and no pics.
will now add pics.
i am now working on stator. just finishing it off. so will add that later.
