F & P motor and some tips...
Greetings all:
I dropped my armature and extra commutator off at a local vocational school to have the commutator fitted. That will be ready to go early next week. (Waiting is killing me!!)
Tip: Get to know the Instructors at your local vocational/technical center. I have been able to act as an 'Industry Advisor' for them in exchange for having them work on my machines. Mostly, they just need someone from outside the educational community to sign off on what they need to improve their offerings. Two or three meetings a year is a fair enough trade.
Another tip: The motor rewind shops in my area sell magnet wire at cost plus standard markup. This makes the cost in the $6.00 to $8.00 per pound rather than the $10.00 per pound on most Ebay listings. Shops in your area may do the same.
Some time ago, I ran onto this website: The Back Shed ,
and thought about hanging one of the F&P rotor/stators on a Bedini wheel. Or, hang the rotor on a UFO motor.....

The stator can be wired for AC in several ways, or Bedini SG style.
Stator: Whirlpool Washer Motor Stator 8565170 | eBay
Rotor: Fisher Paykel Washer Rotor 420919P w/Nut 425016 | eBay
The stators are available in several variations, having differing numbers of coils. Be sure the rotor matches the stator.
The idea here is not to replace the large motor/alternator combo that Mr. UFO is working on, (me too!!), but to give us another option to play with on a small motor setup.
Enjoy!
