Hi Craigy,

Good work, just like to mention something, try and look at torbays wooden version, and work around that. The stator arms look too far apart, but try it anyway, it still may work ok. What you want to do is make the disc turn while engaging the stator arms, do this by hand, If it doesnt work then go back and build it closely to what the wooden version is. I am trying to do it as close to torbays setup, so far I've been quite happy on how it operates.

Regarding the top disc, rather than have a disc, I will try with an aluminium sheet, half circumference running around the rollers which I will mount just behing the magnets on the stator arms, I've drawn pic by hand to try and show what im talking about. The 'runner' is the alumnium sheet I'm referring to.

Ciao,

Mrd

Half a biscuit tin lid !

with the lip of the lid pushing the wheels inwards, or stators down, well i think that discribes it best.
You must be getting close its becoming harder and harder to to post anything here the server seems to drop out all the time.

i thought of this way but it might be hard to get the wheels to follow the edge of the ali sheet unless they were groved in some way to ensure they stay on track,

Hi Craigy,

Ive redone my stator arms, took me quite awhile and ive finished putting the rollers on, if this doesnt work ill go with top disk idea.

I'll keep updating as i go along.
