I went out to get the smallest ID PVC I could find but I couldn't find any that was small enough (17mm ID when I want 1/2inch which is 12.7mm).

What I did find is some cheap black pipe that it 1/2 inch ID and fits over the shaft of the motor perfectly, the only problem is 'flex' is quite literally it's middle name, but it's not too bad and the PVC pipe I did find was kinda flexible too.

Anyway I would still appreciate learning how you did it, thanks. (currently I plan of grinding notches in the shaft, drilling 2 holes in the pipe and putting a pin (steel wire) through it.

So Thane, is that really you? I live in Carp, can I come and have a look? If so, please let me have your phone number...

I've thought about that post often.  And this was back when he thought the device was in the cellar of a suspicious stranger...

Due diligence. Uh huh. It's difficult to conclude anything other than there was never any interest in going, just interest in tagging the project as secretive and resistant to scrutiny.  It didn't work out that way.

Thane, you there?  <Just wanted to ring Thane and didn't want to risk waking him.

WAY WRONG  - SO VERY WRONG PB - CAR BRAKES AND GAS MOTORS DON'T PRODUCE MAGNETIC FIELDS.

Thane, of course that's true and I didn't mean to imply that the mechanisms are the same. I was using the car-gas-brake example simply as a "thought-experiment" because someone was having trouble understanding the physics of the electromagnetic system. It was just intended as an analogy, as I said.
