Isn't it simpler just to get a 3 phase slip ring motor?They are typically used in electric lifts.
Lock the stator and feed 3 phase into the slip rings?
I was writing about it long time ago.

Not where I live.

Slowly getting there. Hope to test this weekend.

Hi Jimboot,
Looks like you put in a few hours on that hunk of steel and copper. Nice work.
Notice, at least from what I can see in photo, you have 12 slots and 8 coils. Are coils concentric or serpentine? The stator appears to be factory wound 2-pole 3-phase, right? What was logic or reason for your rotor coil # and pitch choice?
Also curious as your intent: excite stator and view output from rotor, or vice versa?
Following with interest. Good luck.

I could have got thinner laminates laser cut but not for an experiment at $300. Ended up attaching the individual laminates to an angle grinder and spinning them against the bench grinder. Serpentine initially it will be a 3 phase rotor 4 strands of 0.4mm in each coil 13m in length. The photo is the 1st phase.
