Okay, I see the point there. I'm in effect taking away useable rotor real estate that could be better utilized by putting more magnets on.
That's right - I have curved magnets. They'll line up exactly with the edges of the ditches on the rotor.
I couldn't see the value of investing more time trying to force more disc or cylinder magnets next to these very strong, perfect fitting curved ones. You know, a bunch of N poles don't want to sit right next to each other. And since round (not curved) magnets have flat tops, I guessed that using them would force me to carve more out of my rotor, increasing the gap between my curved magnets. Right? Because their edges would add bumps to the circular plane.
This is my first conversion, so I will rely heavily on peanut gallery comments and grains of salt. I am very fortunate to have 4 curved neos. Using many round mags instead appears to be much more tedious (again, the N poles not liking each other thing).
Thanks guys! Look forward to your comments on wiring next!
I'm surprised Flux hasn't said anything. After all, we are talking about his namesake here. lol
