IRON FILINGS in Epoxy for stator?
« on: February 16, 2009, 04:54:00 PM »
Was thinking of a way to make a stator without laminates. This would be used in a 3 phase single rotor alternator, much like an induction motor conversion that I see here on the site.


I was considering using expoxy and mix with a large amount of iron filings to surround my coils and by doing so would surround the coils with the iron creating an efficient flux path. In effect I would be pouring on the epoxy/iron mix directly on the coils/stator and rotating at high speed to evenly distribute the mix.


Any problems with this?



Persistant anyway.
