The only two I have enough wire for is 30 & 26g should I use the bigger wire for the trigger

if that's all you have a lot of then use the 30 for the trigger winding and the 26 for the power winding.

Ok so the wire Going to the battery should b the 26?

i pulled the front round magnet off to try and show the small rectangular one behind it but the flash lit up the epoxy really bright so not sure if you can see it. the small rectangular magnets were taken from a couple cd/dvd drives... they are right by the lens.  i epoxied those to the 4 points around the diameter of the platter and waited for them to dry, i then placed the platter with the magnets on the spindle and epoxied a top platter to that. that way i had something to hold the circular magnets perpendicular to the platters. those got epoxied too.


rollerblade or skateboard wheels work well too and are much easier to do. just drill holes the size of your magnets, press them in and epoxy over them.

thats real neat. that is almost how i pictured mine. the only thing i am still confused one is, how is it mounted? like on the bottom, how is the shaft or what ever is holding it up right configured so that it is held up steady and is able to spin?

Keep in mind the wire I'm using when I ask this..
The more turns the better right? Of course with out over kill like 5000 turns
