I know this is a goofy question, but I'm going to ask anyway. Instead of "potting" the coils in a stator, why not encase them in a lexan "box?" For example: 3/8" thick coils with 1/16" lexan each side supported axially here and there with lots of holes for cooling. Lexan (Polycarbonate, Tuffax) is formed at temps over 300f, so in my inexperienced mind, the material should be able to tolerate the heat. The idea appeals to me because as a rookie experimenter, I would like to be able to remove/ add coils trying different configurations and wiring by simply unscrewing the top of the stator.
