I WOULD BE AMAZED IF IT CAN GO ABOVE 3600 RPM WITHOUT INCREASING THE LINE FREQUENCY - BUT WE WILL HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL WE GET I_RON'S REINFORCED ROTOR BACK FROM CALIFORNIA.

You should use G10 for construction. You can also add a wrap of carbon fiber tow under tension around the circumference as well. I have done this in other rotating motor/generator designs some years back. The results are far superior to steel construction. the G10 has less movement than steel, it's non magnetic and you can go to much higher speeds -- about the only problem with the G10 is it;s expensive in the higher thicknesses and it's abrasive on all your tools.

ACTUALLY WE ARE PLANNING 6 COILS PER SIDE.

As usual I am properly horrified.  This is pie in the sky with the present build.But not being privy to
your plans all I can do is suggest that the present build is too tiny, too puny to run with this load
hung around its neck. The maximum build for this model is three?

Good work.

thanks for the reply

very informative as usual

I am always interested to buy your old "barrow" rotor with all the necessary coils and core  to make, with the most chance of succes, a   replication and show  your work and its potential  to interested friends here in europe.
