THIS is what you are looking for:
For a 3-phase PMA, wired in Star/Wye,
Turns per phase = 17000 x (System voltage V +1.4) / ( Desired cut in speed RPM) / (Strength of flux in Tesla) / (total area of magnet face in square inches on one disk)
I did try to go through some things.
And I learned you overlook some very basic stuff.
For one thing it took me half an hour to decipher that whole 'ohms per pound' thing.
Life would be easier if you just said "#10", if that is what it was.
The 80 turns of #10 is 15.6'? Meaning the coil is going to be 9" thick?
And how thick (long) are the magnets to achieve 0.64 Tesla in a 9" long coil?
Remember there is a opposite polarity magnet very near it. On both sides.
Path of Least Resistance kind of idea. The flux path will go to the magnets that are an inch away on both sides instead of fly 9" (tight and focused) to the magnet on the other disk.
Then after these 9" thick/long coils are in there, the plan is to add more in the unused area for increased efficiency.
A couple other things that cause me some concern,
"the steel plate the magnets will mount to will be and intregral part of the base"
Brushes? That's antique thinking.
"i want the magnetic field to be captured inside of the steel casing"
I have no idea why you want the flux shorted.
You seem to understand the redirection of flux in this case, but not if the magnets are mounted on a steel disk.
I strongly suggest several holes are drilled in the casing with nuts welded over then so the magnets can be removed from the casing so they can be resold on ebay later.
From the same sentence, "i hope this will have the effect of compressing alot of magnetic field in the inner most ring of coils."
It will not. It will be counter productive.
I wonder if Jay Leno said "What? $1000 extra for the maglev version? I do not want to spend that much more!"?
Or if they simply couldn't make it work as advertised.
Jay was already in for more $$$ than would ever be recovered in his lifetime, so he must not have wanted to spend the extra on the maglev stuff just to increase efficiency?
The more I type and read, the more I want to say, but this is the last of it.
