I am mid way through the 12" dual rotor in Hughs book.
My mags are 40 000 in strength(if that's the correct term) not 35 000
I have read up on some of the 10 foot mills on the other power page & I see they use 2 strands of 14 gauge for 12 volts 34 wraps
this is 3 phase nine coils with 12 mags per rotor , hughs book is set for 24 volts
2 strands of 17 gauge 75 wraps.
I was going to go with 12 volt since I am kind of set up that way but maybe its time to make the leap to 24 or 48 volt.
the problem is I have access to 15 gauge wire not 14 so I am unsure what to do to gain peak performance. 2 strands of 15 is equal to 12 which has more resistance than 2 strands of 14.
do I use less wraps to reduce resistance then move the rotors closer or try 3 strands with less wraps & change the tsr of the prop or ??
I was thinking of 1 strand with 15 to 20 wraps with a small 1/4 " air gap just to see how the output compares but I don't know, all the testing gets expensive I just
want to finish this puppy & have it done so I can try it out-lol
I guess I can just order 14 or 17 through here , maybe that's easiest way but I already have some 15 from my 8 mag machine & can get more close to home.
any input appreciated
