hi Scorch,
what do you think ? Maybe you can put some optosensors to remplace the brosses for your generator.
It is my choise for my replication. To day I have a very bad connection , I try to send a picture this week to show the disks on the hub and the type for opto. Regard, Marc

I did get a fast response from the representative at quanta magnetics.
He wrote: "I pulled a bunch of spray cans off my shelf and true to fact, they were all nearly identical to each other and the hub fit easily inside all. You can even notice in the attached photo that the gold cap has a little extra room where you could wrap a couple of winds of electrical tape for a snug fit, or simply push in further as the cap is very slightly tapered."

I think what I ran into is that the majority of cans, in my garage, are at least 8 years old and many are well over 20 years old.
So I went to the store and did find that most of the new paint cans do have a slightly different cap which 'fit', loosely, around the hub.
And, as per his suggestion, tape installed around the hub would make a pretty good fit. (see his image "perfect fit")(image posted with permission from quanta magnetics)

But I am somewhat of a perfectionist when it comes to a proper fit on a rotating part and question the use of the term "perfect fit" if it has to be adjusted, or modified, with tape. . .
Any wobble, or up & down, movement just annoys me, to no end, when it comes to precision parts that are supposed to be a 'perfect fit'.

So; I searched around some more and discovered that "NOW" brand supplement bottles have a very nice, shiny surface, made of a slightly 'stretchier' plastic that is not as thin*, and doesn't split as easily, as a spray can cap, and actually IS the right size and 'perfect fit' which is tight and no tape, or glue, required. (see my image "PerfectedFit")

And, yes, I did spend an hour walking through the grocery store, with my calipers, measuring round caps, containers, and bottles. . . . 

*Now bottle = 0.040" wall thickness versus spray cap at around 0.025".

The bottle we seek is any shiny supplement bottle that measures around 2.505" OD which is around 2.430 ID and fits tightly onto a hub at 2.478 OD (0.048 interference fit)
And some 'goof off' solvent will take the label off without damaging the shiny surface.

So, as soon as I have more time and the copper tape arrives, I should be able to move forward again.

And thank you, to quanta magnetics, for the fast, customer service, response.

PS: I tapped on the hub with my hammer so those are my tool marks and not from the manufacturer.

I'm surprised people are still working at this. RomeroUK was a scam artist.
The future is in energy from water, no one will create a motor to run their car or home appliances with..

Just personal opinion - when reading http://pesn.com/2011/05/11/9501823_Romeros_Self-Sustaining_Muller_Dynamo_Drama/ I can't agree with this statement as it clearly showed distress call to save himself and family in his personal letter to Sterling D. Allan
And http://pesn.com/2011/05/11/9501823_Romeros_Self-Sustaining_Muller_Dynamo_Drama/selfrunning_free_energy_device_muller_motor_generator_romerouk_version1_1.pdf contains oscillogram from open ended generator coil what appears to be not pure sine but sin^2 wave which leads to the realm of E. Leedskalnin magnets arrangement in his generator...

I remember that letter, I think it was posted on this forum.
It's all part of the show, to get attention and to mislead, imho
