Well Guy's got an email from china today, my 200 16x13mm N50 round neo's should be here before xmas. So here's to hoping they get here as I will have time over the xmas break to finish off the stator then do the 1 wire test. This will dictate the thickness I use for the space in each slot.
Cheers Bryan

G'day Guy's,
Finally got around to installing the first pole on the rotor, it was fun getting 21 of those 16x13 N50 magnets down, especially as I kept getting the poles wrong. I finally got all the mags down and the counter bored holes did make the magnets sit flat. Then I put some fences up and mixed some epoxy with the some Q-tip to thicken it up then poured the epoxy in and kept ramming it back in until it started going off. With a 5 day weekend here I did note the time I did the epoxy so in the next few days I'll have the rotor finished and be ready to do the one wire test.
Eh this project has been awhile since I last visited it so I do need to include some pic's of the work done in my IRC gallery.
Cheers Bryan

Hi Bryan,
Looking forward to more progress on it.
Did you ever consider putting a skew in the laminations?
ruddycrazy:
Hi Steven,
The way the housing was it wasn't possible to skew the lamination's so I machined up a new rotor and machined in pockets on a one lamination skew. Without the pockets there would be no way I could place the magnets and get them to stay put. Although this is in the true Zubbly tradition I do want to throw my twist in. Even if the epoxy doesn't stick to the magnets the counter bores will hold the magnets I'm sure.
When I do the second pole I'll keep you guys updated and there is a lot more to come.
Regards Bryan
