while drawing up an assembly of the possible stator design that I am thinking of. I started to notice a pattern of coil stacking interference. This got me to thinking ( causing wood to burn uncontrollably) about what an old motor winder had told me a 1000 years ago, well sometimes things seam like a 1000 years LOL. Anyway I remember something about his telling me that to avoid having an off coil at the end of a winding he staggered the open slot count for each coil pack. It seems like maybe it was 3,5,7 or 3,6,8 or 3,4,5 looks like it is time for me to dig out my old lightening electrical reference or the Ugly's guide, or the motor wiring for idiots.
IF I were to prototype an exact scale model of the monstrosity (RUUB-GOLDBERG) contraption I would need to buy a laser torch setup for my CNC cutting machine the plasma torch would not be capable of cutting precise enough segments for laminating to become the stator and rotor. But to do that I would have to justify the expense by convincing my partners that an increased production of our thin sheet metal cutting division of the business would have a reasonable pay out. Highly unlikely since our 1mm & thinner is less than 5% or our cutting. most is in the 10 to 40 mm range so the plasma works perfect for this.
