I see what you were saying earlier about my motor design
I don't know how I got that mixed up. I will make changes and post a new drawing. Thanks jetijs!
Another update.
gluing coils on the stator poles was a little messy. I did not use the hot glue, because it cures too fast and does not hold the coils in place very good. Instead I used some drops of epoxy resin between the coils and stator poles. It was very hard to align the stator and rotor so that there was an equal air gap all around the stator. At these small air gap widths, if the stator is even a tinny littlr bit offcenter and still does not touch the stator, it will lock up if fired, because there is not equal attractin force from both sides. Also you can not fire only one coil leaving the opposite coil alone, because this will just lock the rotor still. Anyway, that part is done and I am glad, that this part is over
A few pictures:
Thanks,
Jetijs
It's better to wear off by working than to rust by doing nothing.
Got an estimate from Protolam...
Total estimated cost = 500 USD
Material: M19 silicon steel laminate
Material thickness: .35mm
Total laminates for rotor/ stator: 108 (1.5 inches)
cost is about 3.00/laminate for rotor, 2.00/laminate for stator.
Not as cheap as I anticipated , but the results are still only preliminary. When I have the final draft of my motor, then I will have a better estimate.
Archer, you can use any timing device you want for this motor - reedswitches, optoswitches, hall switches or even carbon brush commutators/ It is up to you, what ever is easier for you to make

Wow Jetijs, what a motor!!! Im currently modifying my latest adams motor to a lindemann attraction type motor. All i have to do is make a special rotor and rewire my coils and it should work. If all goes well, i will be able to easily adjust the gap between my rotor and stator to get the closest coupling possible.
