Bowman Permanent Magnet Motor Replication 2008

Rotors all done!!

Gawd at this rate it will be finished by tomorrow 

I cut out 3 Rotors and tapped them with a 3mm thread.



This will then let me use 3mm brass countersunk screws.



These then mount some nice neo disks perfectly.



All 3 Rotors and Gears ready for mounting.



Off to make the base and lathe the brass rods!

More to come

Cheers

Sean.

I had been debating about posting for it isn't finished. but what the hell, here is an unfinished photo before additions. If you would like a video send me an email. I am not sure when I may youtube it yet. So keep what you see on the video under wraps for now.

Looks cool mate, you as bad as me, I was adding magnets to my big wheel the other day and trying various things.



But not as elegant as what you have there.

Will drop you a PM as would love to see more of it.

Cheers

Sean.

Hi Broli

But the computer is the skill really as it is doing all the work, some guys in here do it by hand, now that is skill!. I am too lazy and inpatient to do that

Thanks anyway mate

Base cutting as I type

Cheers

Base all done!



I decided to order some brass threaded rod for the axles as it will allow me to adjust the spacing on each gear and rotor.
That is going to take a couple of days to deliver but I can make the axle holders for now.

Cheers
