Dear all,
I have not posted for sometime now due to a number of reasons, primarily being too busy to have time to "play". Also being a tinkerer with motor conversions I was getting a bit lost in all the big mills that seemed to be being built and less of the hobby type stuff.
However, I have a bit of time at the moment and was looking at using some of the bits and bobs I have salvaged over the years, namely copper, to bodge something together.
I am thinking very loosely along the 1200mm dia Piggott design, as I have all the components lying about - the bit I can not visualise is the stator mould, specifically the island section and mounting studs. Does anyone have any pictures of this step they would be happy to share, or a simple explanation for it?
Please note I am only playing at this design, not following the plans to a tee and am not trying to replicate the published results but if I could get an idea of this part of the process a little more clearly that would help! This is more an exercise in trying to learn and at the same time use up bits that are clogging my shed. A recycling/sustainable approach for want of a better expression.....
Thanks.
