This part of the site was here.
I was posting under the "my experience so far" thread in the wind section.
So as it stands right now, I ordered some more mags to complete the mag plates. Ordered some vinyl ester resin. Should I put cloth it it?? Is it really that important?? Coils wound and connected, everything looks good there. Went to the hardware store and picked up some plywood and linseed oil.
I have another month or so before regular shop time is viable, as it is 7 degrees out there today, but it is supposed to warm up to the 30's and 40's soon. Then I can cut my mold boards and get ready to pour my stator. Then my plan is to build the frame and spin it up in the shop and see what we are working with for output.
I will probably start shooting videos here pretty soon. I figure there are enough of them out there on winding coils, making molds and placing mags. I am not doing a "how to" because really if you can't get that far by yourself, maybe making things and working on projects like this is a little above such a persons head. How are you ever going to maintain it or safely install it. if you do not fully understand how it works??
Once we know what we are working with, things will get fun and with a little more custom building and controls.
