Sometimes you guys nitpick on details and neglect to delve into a potentially interesting subject such as this started out to be.
For instance: Why would we want to lose wattage from our alternators?
Surely correcting the stalling issue can be done before the alternator makes too much power.
I like the air gap adjustment, but it means removing the outside rotor again. This is difficult and time consuming project,
I'd like to see some of the experienced builders here suggest some tricks for increasing the air gap specific distances.
If I add a standard flat washer (if there is such a thing) to my 10 footer, making my air gap, say .10 inches greater than it was with just the nuts on the all-thread holding the two rotors apart, what kind of results can we expect?
Of course you can't tell me for certain, because you don't know what level of tolerances we have in our fabrication, but what was your experience?
