YES! I will make the second top coil as the Diagram recommends as funds become available.
The plastic supports are from an 1/2 inch thick 18 X 30 plain FLAT cutting
board from Amazon.com . They were all cut to EXACTNESS with an accurate
table saw and then precision stacked and drilled and bored. The perfect 90
degree braces were cut from the same type cutting board and are necessary
the whole unit in alignment.
The commutators and brush holders and brushes are from Eurton Electric Co.
They have an online buy site.
The Four hole self aligning bearing supports are from E-bay.com - seller is
King of bearings.
The shaft is steel 5/8 dia X 3 feet from Amazon and so are the shaft couplings.
The hex shaft ( 17 inch length ) is from Speedy Metals.com .
The 48 magnets are from Super Magnet Store.com and are N42 .
The Battery holders and 9 volt batteries are by TENERGY and came from Amazon.com also .
After MUCH finger blood and cussing I finally learned the secret to installing the magnets safely and easily on the hex shaft. Simple - was two 4 inch
pieces of 3/16 weld rod (un coated) . Placed the two countersunk magnet
holes over the rods inserted into the hex shaft screw holes and then slid the
magnet down into place. Easy at last.
Once running on its own I will use another coupling (Shown on far right) to attach an AC Delco Alternator to the unit and use it's constant output to
power my 3000 watt Aims Inverter and Power Computer,Lights, etc @ 120 volts AC.
Enough words. Thanks for listening!
Happy Sippin!
Respectfully,
Clarence
