Hi Dan,
Reviewing your 20' article you stated you wanted to get 45 turns of #14 on the coils but could only get 45 turns of #15. How close was it to not fitting? .10" or .25" etc.? If I were to make the rotor 24" and the stator 30", do you think that extra 1" in radius would allow enough room to get the 45 turns of #14? I'm shooting for 5KW at 40KPH with 20' blades on this alternator.
I have my machine shop all ready to go with the plasma cutter but don't want to commit until I make sure I'm only going to do this once. :-)
Thanks again for your help.
Paul
