Hi, this is just a experiment. Can you provide test data from a 3 phase Star/12 coil per phase using the same size coils and magnets as a dual rotor to support your statement?
It takes a calculator.
About 150 years of test data, mathematically, come down to:
(a bunch of magnet and wire stuff) X Frequency = PowerPlacing the magnets over a whole bunch of different disks makes less frequency on each coil, so lower power output.
It seems you want to look at each individual 'layer'.
Each layer has less magnet surface area, included in "(a bunch of magnet and wire stuff)" above, and less frequency.
OK.
Think about it this way.
It is not exactly correct concerning all the parameters, but this is the general idea.
How much magnet surface area is there, combined?
That is what you have to work with.
Spreading it out over more disks makes a lower frequency, and a lower frequency makes less output.
=
Or maybe think about it in something more mechanical.
A stupid example, but maybe the concepts will get through.
A riding lawn mower has 10 HP.
Gear it up and it can go really fast. Therefore it can go really fast.
Fear it down and it can tow 1000 tons. Therefore it can tow 1000 tons.
Gearing it up 3 times, and gearing it down 3 times, does NOT mean it can tow 1000 tons really fast.
You understand that, Right?
Stacking the stators is like gearing it down.
Seriesing the stators is like gearing it up.
The motor is still 10HP.
The difference is a whole lot of money spent on a whole lot of extra parts (the gear boxes).
Instead of spending your money on gear boxes, you are spending your money on magnets and wire.
The motor is still 10HP.
I could argue the motor output is LESS than 10 HP with all the gear boxes, because of the friction in the gears.
"Electrical Friction" is resistance x current.
Amps X amps X ohms
Shall we say your coils have 10 ohms resistance?
Passing 1A wastes 10W in "the gear box".
Passing 2A wastes 40W in "the gear box".
Passing 3A wastes 90W in "the gear box".
Passing 3.8A wastes 144.4W in "the gear box".
12V at 3.8A is 45.6W.
144.4W is lost in heat.
That makes a total of 190W it takes for the input to get 45.6W out.
24% efficiency. That sucks.
The gear box is well made, but it is sucking up all the power and turning it to heat.
