Or "is possible"

It most certainly is if you are using analog sine waves as your driving source, regardless of the number of poles.

Recall what Eric Dollard said about 3-phase, it acts just like a mechanical drive shaft.

"Not possible 1 or 2 degrees" ??
Or "is possible"
Mistake or typo?

Not possible. A 36 slot stator has 10deg accuracy. A 2deg accuracy would require 180slots!

"A 36 slot stator has 10deg accuracy. A 2deg accuracy would require 180slots!" Surely you mean RESOLUTION; accuracy is not the same as resolution.

True, but Pierre C was referring to "distance" which equates to resolution in that context.

PmgR,
In the early days of home built wind generators one technique was to epoxy coils on the outside of a motor lamination stack. This was held stationary inside of a truck brake drum filled with magnets which the blades spun. The point being that any number of coils could be placed on the laminations giving any degree of accuracy. A wound steel toroid  could be made the same way with the coils on the inside for this project.
