<strong>Robert</strong> <strong>Adams</strong> <strong><strong>The</strong>rmal</strong> <strong>Magnetic</strong> <strong>Motor</strong><br />
<strong>The</strong>rmo <strong>Magnetic</strong> <strong>Motor</strong><br />
I have unpublished details for a thermo magnetic motor from New<br />
Zealand. It is a later <strong>Robert</strong> <strong>Adams</strong> magnetic motor design that was<br />
reported to produce infinite energy when calibrated properly and Dr<br />
<strong>Adams</strong> was not allowed to manufacture the device on the open market.<br />
Unlike most magnetic motors, this one is not a toy. This is unlike any<br />
magnetic motor most of you have ever heard of and may be a design<br />
which can be utilized by us for free electricity and hot water.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re are some missing details, but I think I have enough details that we<br />
can replicate this machine, since we have some smart guys in the forum<br />
who will probably be more than happy to help on this project.<br />
Missing Information<br />
Missing Information:<br />
1) Wiring Schematics<br />
2) Optimum timing of the motor.<br />
3) Method used for timing the motor.<br />
4) Photos of a working setup.<br />
According to an engineer friend of mine in Australia we have enough
information to duplicate this motor. <strong>The</strong> most important details I think<br />
we have.<br />
USB Rotary Encoder<br />
Phidgets USB Rotary Encoder Robot<strong>Shop</strong><br />
This new technology can be used to calibrate and run our motor. It is a<br />
fantastic system.<br />
Teaser<br />
Secret Alloy Discussed:<br />
Supposedly there is a very secret aspect to the rotor that if not utilized<br />
will prevent the proper function of the thermo aspect of the motor. As I<br />
said earlier, the rotor has holes for the magnets on the side of the rotor<br />
and not on the end of the rotor like his earlier versions. <strong>The</strong>re are eight<br />
equidistant holes drilled through the side of the rotor next to the outer<br />
edge of the rotor. <strong>The</strong> magnets are placed in every other hole and the<br />
remaining holes are plugged with an alloy plug. It is important that this<br />
alloy is made of a particular substance. Anyway, the alloy to be used is<br />
not bismouth and we will leave it a secret for another day.<br />
Rotor Specs
Rotor Specs:<br />
Rotor should be made from non conductive and non magnetic material.<br />
(Aluminum displays strange magnetic properties that are not desirable.)<br />
6 inch diameter rotor.<br />
Rotor must be 1" in thickness.<br />
Rotor must be water proof since there are likely to be water leaks from<br />
time to time.<br />
Drill 8 holes equidistant through the side of your rotor.<br />
Holes are 7/8" holes.<br />
PCD of 4.75"<br />
Sweet Spot / Energy Output Optimum RPM<br />
Sweet Spot:<br />
<strong>The</strong>se motors can be made to run at very high rates of speed and it was<br />
originally thought that the higher speeds were beneficial. According to<br />
my source, the higher speeds are not desirable and he recommended a<br />
sweet spot for this motor of 1820 rpm for optimum energy output.<br />
Golden Ratio
You've probably heard it said that the original <strong>Adams</strong> <strong>Motor</strong> was a<br />
golden ratio motor. Well, the golden ratio does not apply to this motor.<br />
Heat Protection<br />

generating many heat.<br />
Hi Sucahyo,<br />
<strong>The</strong> thermo motor was plagued by the heat problem like everyone<br />
else, so he found a simple way to overcome it. According to my<br />
source, they used the largest heat sinks they could find and stacked<br />
them. <strong>The</strong>y used as many of them as necessary to protect his<br />
sensitive electronics such as but not limited to mosfets and such.<br />
When people were shown a working unit, great care was taken to<br />
conceal some important details. Wiring was always disconnected and<br />
the alloy plugs removed.<br />
More Voltage

In term of efficiency, I also read somewhere that more input voltage give<br />
more efficiency.
Hi Sucahyo,<br />
Yes, to get high efficiency required fairly high input voltages. For<br />
instance, for a 10 KW unit with a 6" rotor and (4) (7/8"X1")<br />
neodyne magnets 360 volts DC was found to be very efficient<br />
operating voltage while 720 volts DC was found to be better. <strong>The</strong>se<br />
particular voltages were appreciated since they could be chopped<br />
into 240 volts sine wave without the need for a setup transformer in<br />
the conversion to household AC.<br />
Your Question:<br />
From what I recall, he mention that while the generator produce<br />
heat, the rotor is cool?<br />
Response:<br />
On the earlier non thermal motors the complete setups ran cool. On<br />
the later thermo units, there was a lot of heat generated but many of<br />
the prototype rotors were made from wood products so you may be<br />
right about the rotor running cool. I don't have the answer to this<br />
question.<br />
<strong>The</strong> large stacked heat sinks protected the mosfets and other<br />
sensitive electronics, and then there were other tricks too. Water was<br />
pumped through each core which caused the generation of extremely<br />
high heat temperatures and so each stator core coil assembly was<br />
bathed in oil to prevent the coils from overheating. Each coil was<br />
encased in a copper tube assembly full of oil to help prevent<br />
overheating of the coils.<br />
More info to be released shortly. I'm in the process of trying to<br />
summarize some notes.
Tuning Fun<br />
This motor is going to be especially fun to tune properly, since the two<br />
drive stators are also the pickup coils. So, the equipment we choose to<br />
run our setup such as but not limited to usb rotory encoder device will<br />
have to be programmed to send electricity to the stators at a specific time<br />
interval then be ready to receive high voltage from the coils at another<br />
interval. As I said earlier there is a sweet spot of 1820 rpm @ 60 hz run<br />
speed. I forgot to mention the 60 hz before. <strong>The</strong>re are also some other<br />
sweet spots which were kept a secret from us. We have no idea what they<br />
were and/or what they were related to.<br />
So, this motor is not without its complexities and it holds many secrets<br />
which hopefully we will be able to tap into and understand later on<br />
Wire Resistance<br />
When winding coils, it's all about the resistance. On the older four coil<br />
motors 36 ohms/coil was required for a total overall resistance of 144<br />
ohms for all four coils. Well, now we are using two coils instead of four<br />
and the total resistance required has not changed. Soooo?<br />
Many replicators failed to follow this rule of thumb in the past and so<br />
their motors did not produce positive results and they then blamed the
inventor and said he was a fraud.<br />
Due To Lack of Interest<br />
Due to Lack of Interest<br />
<strong>The</strong>re appears to be a serious lack of interest in this thread, so the rest of<br />
the information will not be posted here. Thanks!!<br />
Firing Stator<br />
When firing the stators, it's very important to only fire a stator on one<br />
side of the magnet at a time. What we have in this particular setup is a<br />
rotor with stators on both sides of the magnet. We have two stators, one<br />
on the north pole side and one on the south pole side of the rotor. <strong>The</strong><br />
stators are separated by one another by 180 degrees. This is a very<br />
important aspect also. After experimenting with many different<br />
prototypes and setups, the inventor discovered that two stator/pickup<br />
coils were much more efficient than any other combination. He was also<br />
able to achieve OU to a much higher level and figures from his later<br />
machines were never published because they were so high.<br />
Summary:<br />
1) Fire stators on only one side of the magnet at a time!!<br />
2) Number of stator/pickup coils is two. Stator and pickup coil are the<br />
same coils!!
3) Have one stator on North pole side and the other on South pole side of<br />
the rotor.<br />
4) Make sure all north poles are on the same side of the rotor.<br />
5) Make sure stators are located 180 degrees apart from one another on<br />
opposite sides of rotor.<br />
<strong>The</strong>rmo <strong>Motor</strong> Housing & Rotor
<strong>The</strong> thermo motor housing is very unique from several aspects. It can be<br />
made out of wood products and this is true with the rotor also. Many of<br />
the prototypes used wood products but if wood products are used care<br />
must be taken to either choose water proof wood products or seal your<br />
wood products so they are not affected adversely by water conditions.<br />
Perspex and other plastics can also be used. It is important to use non<br />
magnetic screws such as stainless steel and/or brass where possible for<br />
best results. Also, the drive shaft and rotor mount bracket should also be<br />
made of non magnetic materials such as but not limited to brass or<br />
stainless. <strong>The</strong> structure of the motor housing is like an open ended box.<br />
It's a complete box type structure with only one side open. <strong>The</strong> rationale<br />
for this design was not imparted to me. Anyway, it's a plain easily made<br />
structure that supposedly works very well. I don't have specific<br />
dimensions of the box, so we'll have to come up with our own size for<br />
that. When building your box, you'll have to keep in mind that your rotor<br />
is 6", (6 inches), in diameter. <strong>The</strong> stator cores are approximately 3.5<br />
inches in length and are mounted through the side of box. You have two<br />
stators, one on each side of the rotor, so this will give you a frame of<br />
reference for the size of your box. You also need to keep in mind that this<br />
is a water motor and will need to be serviced from time to time with<br />
respect to water connections and proactive leak policing, so you must<br />
make the box a size that will allow you easy servicing of your internal<br />
parts. I would suggest a box where the closed end opposite the open end<br />
of the box can be removed fairly easily for servicing. Of course the other<br />
ends of the box will have to be permanently fixed for obvious reasons.<br />
Rotor needs to be made out of 1 inch thick material.<br />
Material used for box must be at least 3/4 inch in thickness. One inch<br />
would be better.<br />
Remember this motor has the capability of running in excess of 5,000
pm, so the housing must be very firm and stable indeed.<br />
Stator Core<br />
<strong>The</strong> stator core is 3/4 inch in diameter and at least 3.5 inches in length. It<br />
needs to be a one piece core made out of pure iron with as little carbon in<br />
it as possible. No alloys should be in it. This is a water core system, so<br />
there will need to be a 3/8 inch hole drilled through the center of the core<br />
from one end to approximately 3/4 of an inch from the other end of the<br />
core. A 9/16 inch hole then needs to be drilled through the side at the<br />
closed end of the core to meet up with the 3/8 inch hole through the<br />
center of the core. Both holes need to be tapped for water fittings. Prior<br />
to drilling the holes, a taper needs to be added to the core on the end that<br />
will mate up with the magnet. <strong>The</strong> end of the core that will correspond<br />
with the magnet needs to be true, flat, and polished. <strong>The</strong> magnet contact<br />
end of the core must be taper leaving the flat end approximately 1/2 the<br />
diameter of the magnet. <strong>The</strong>re is some sort of vortex aetheric force<br />
allowed at the tip of the core by configuring it in this manner. This is a<br />
very important aspect!!<br />
Also, the outside tapped end of the core needs to be threaded for magnet<br />
gap adjustment. If you are going to have the stator sticking through your<br />
housing, you might want to consider adding the thickness of your box to<br />
the overall length of your stator core. Otherwise, you may have a stator<br />
core that is to short. You might also want to place your core in the box<br />
and figure the optimum point for your side hole on your core before<br />
drilling it. You can mark the optimum point for drilling and drill it later.<br />
Otherwise you may have located the hole such that it may not line up<br />
properly with where you wanted it to connect with your copper water
tubing.<br />
Coil<br />
<strong>The</strong> coils need to be wound with a 3/4 inch open center to accommodate<br />
the stator core later. <strong>The</strong> approximate size of the coil is 2 inches X 2.25<br />
inches. One of the coils needs to be wound clockwise while the other<br />
needs to be wound counter clockwise since one is on the South pole of the<br />
magnet and the other is on the North pole. Bear in mind that we don't<br />
know if this is a repulsion situation or an attraction situation. This was<br />
another secret kept from us. So, experimentation must be done with both<br />
and utilize the method that produces the best results. It is thought by<br />
someone that repulsion was his method of choice and that may well be<br />
the case. <strong>The</strong> type of wire needed is .5 and that is probably a metric<br />
designation since it is a designation from New Zealand. Also, when<br />
winding your coils remember that it's not the number of winds but the<br />
resistance that counts. So, check for resistance on your coil while winding<br />
it.<br />
Bobbins<br />
<strong>The</strong> bobbins are very easy to make from pvc pipe and use 1/4" ABS<br />
plastic sheet for your sideboards. I use the thinnest pvc pipe available<br />
and then cut the ABS side boards out of my flat sheet with a adjustable<br />
hole saw. I cut them about 1/4" wider than I want them to be and turn<br />
them down to the right specifications later on a lathe. I then drill the<br />
holes in the side board disks to the right size with a compound bit. <strong>The</strong><br />
pvc pipe fits snugly into the hole in the disk. I also use super glue to<br />
permanently affix the sideboards to the pvc pipe.
Anyway I forgot to mention that the inside diameter of the pvc pipe is 3/4<br />
inch, so it fits right over the outside of the stator core perfectly nice.<br />
Balanced<br />
<strong>The</strong> rotor needs to be perfectly balanced and also the drive shaft needs to<br />
be perfectly true as well because the stator cores are going to be almost<br />
right on the rotor. <strong>The</strong>refore if the shaft is bent and/or the rotor is not<br />
balanced perfectly the stator and rotor will hit each other. Also, this<br />
motor has the potential of turning at some serious speeds in excess of<br />
5,000 rpm, so if it's out of balance it would be very problematic to say the<br />
least. So, pick your drive shaft wisely and make sure it's true; Drill your<br />
rotor perfectly through dead center and make sure it's balanced<br />
perfectly. You need to make sure that you drill your eight holes in exactly<br />
the proper place also or the rotor will be off balance. <strong>The</strong>re is absolutely<br />
no room for any wobble on this rotor!! You need to make sure the depth<br />
of your magnets and alloy inserts are proper too so that nothing is<br />
sticking out to snag a stator. Also, you need to be very careful when<br />
machining your alloy inserts to make sure each of them is true and the<br />
same weight or you'll have an offbalance condition just from that. Some<br />
guy reported his machine was turning at 10,000 rpm and that leaves no<br />
margin for error.<br />
Interconnected Stators<br />
<strong>The</strong> stators are interconnected to one another via copper tubing. <strong>The</strong>re is<br />
a water reservoir and water is continuously circulated through each of<br />
the two stators via a water pump and the attached copper tubing. Each<br />
of the two stators have a water inlet hole at the back and a water outlet
hole 3/4 of an inch from the magnet contact point on the front side of the<br />
stator.<br />
Magnet Size<br />
Very good results were achieved with 3/4" X 1" magnets. Some of the<br />
later motors used 7/8" X 1".<br />
When using 3/4" magnets, the stator should be 1/2 the diameter of the<br />
magnet.<br />
When using magnets exceeding 3/4" in diameter the stator should be<br />
tapered to 3/4 of the diameter of the magnet.<br />
Purpose of Water Use?<br />
Water Serves 2 Purposes:<br />
#1) Water takes the massive aetheric heat buildup away from the the<br />
cores and<br />
coils.<br />
#2) Water takes on a massive electrical charge itself and acts as the<br />
magnetic conductor between the north and south poles of the magnets.<br />

My gut tells me to go with 1/2 the magnet face diameter for the<br />
tapered tip of the stator core. I feel this is very important.<br />
Magnet Suggestion<br />
For my money, I would suggest that the 3/4" X 1" neodyne magnets<br />
should be more than adequate. Great results were achieved with this<br />
particular size of magnet. <strong>The</strong> inventor was very happy with this<br />
particular size of magnet.<br />
Strange Phenomena<br />
Some of the later motors exhibited some other strange characteristics.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y displayed the characteristic of becoming weightless. Yes, on several<br />
occasions the motors became weightless and went airborne. On at least<br />
one occasion it was reported that the motor went all the way to the<br />
ceiling at which point it disconnected from its power source and fell to<br />
the floor. I had never heard this reported before with reference to these<br />
types of motors.
Easy Drive Shaft Configuration<br />
I used a 1/2 inch threaded 304L stainless steel rod for my drive shaft. I<br />
studied the option of mounting a hub onto the side of my rotor, but was<br />
unable to find the right type available for my needs and didn't want to<br />
have to machine one from scratch. So, I was looking for expedient<br />
options and found one which is not ideal but will work well for a<br />
prototype. <strong>The</strong> 1/2 inch threaded rod is what I finally arrived at for a<br />
prototype motor. It is a much easier and cheaper method. You still need<br />
two large stainless washers so that you can have a washer on each side of<br />
the rotor. You then need four stainless steel nuts, so that you can force<br />
the washers tightly in place to the side of the rotor. <strong>The</strong> second nut on<br />
each side will enable you to lock the nuts in place. I would also use<br />
Locktite to ensure your nuts don't loosen when the rotor is spinning at a<br />
high rpm. I utilized a brass spacer sleeve on each end of the machine<br />
where the threaded rod came in contact with the roller bearings. <strong>The</strong><br />
sleeve travels a lot more smoothly against the rollers than did the<br />
threaded rod. For roller bearings I'd choose fairly large round ball<br />
bearings and not needle bearings. <strong>The</strong> needle variety are terrible for this<br />
application. Anyway, the bronze sleeve needs to be locked in place with a<br />
nut on the inside of the motor housing on both ends. You want to use a<br />
locking sleeve stop on the outside of the motor housing on both ends of<br />
the threaded rod. <strong>The</strong>n tighten your inner two nuts against the bronze<br />
sleeve forcing it against the outer locking sleeve. This works very well.<br />
As far as the usb rotary encoder, I have no idea how to apply it to my<br />
needs yet. I'm waiting for further feedback from my engineering friend.
I'll share more when I have it.<br />
Secret Alloy<br />
Material Fishing Sinkers Are Made Of. You want the pure stuff, (i.e.: no<br />
alloys added to it)!!<br />
You'll need four plugs made from this material and they need to be the<br />
exact size of your magnets and perfectly balanced so as not to throw off<br />
the balance of your rotor. <strong>The</strong>y need to be the exact length of one another<br />
and the exact width of one another.<br />
Energy Storage<br />
<strong>The</strong> inventor preferred high voltage industrial type capacitors. <strong>The</strong>y<br />
worked exceptionally well for him. <strong>The</strong>se of course are very expensive<br />
and potentially very dangerous.<br />
Other folks using his setups are using battery banks to capture the<br />
energy and store it. <strong>The</strong>se work very well also and are somewhat<br />
expensive too if you buy good ones. It's my understanding that only one<br />
bank of batteries is necessary for this type motor.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re are many differing rules of thumb out there.<br />
Anyway, when you are using a battery bank there is a proper protocol to<br />
use to ensure the most efficient use of the storage system and it was never
made clear to me. This is a very important aspect to get right also. So,<br />
maybe some of the experts will shed some more light in this area.<br />
Also, with this particular system we are generating very hot water and if<br />
we don't cool it before recirculating it through the system, we can easily<br />
make steam which can also be utilized for running a steam generator or<br />
something else. We can always use the hot water for taking a shower.<br />
This is a very good unique system.<br />
Self Runner<br />
This machine was reported to be a self runner. It took the mains to get it<br />
started of course, but once it was going it generated a lot more energy<br />
than was needed to run it.<br />
Armor Board<br />
Armor board is used by some to build this particular motor. Armor<br />
board is a very expensive particle board type board. It has some very<br />
interesting characteristics, but the only characteristic we are interested<br />
in is the fact that it is waterproof. Armor board is relatively hard to<br />
machine but when machined properly makes a very good rotor. It also is<br />
a great material to use for the frame of the motor. Marine plywood<br />
would of course also be okay for use on the frame but not for the rotor.<br />
Plywood is not a good option for the rotor since in many cases there are<br />
voids within the plywood that make it almost impossible to balance<br />
properly. So, armor board is a very good choice for the rotor. Particle<br />
board will work nicely until you spring a leak with this water motor
system and that is very likely indeed. So, remember to use only<br />
waterproof materials when fabricating your motor housing and rotor.<br />
Also remember not to use any metals within the framework and/or rotor<br />
other than brass or stainless steel. Don't use any aluminum since it does<br />
exhibit some very strange magnetic phenomenon that are undesirable.<br />
<strong>The</strong> undesirable phenomenon were not shared with me.<br />
Metric Wire Sizes Given<br />

<strong>The</strong> wire sizes given were in mm, so .5mm for 10 KW 50 KW<br />
motors and .35mm for anything less than 10 KW. One chap uses .<br />
4mm and says he's not getting good results.<br />
I imagine that the wire size is not the problem in this case. <strong>The</strong>re is<br />
little margin for error in the tuning of this device!! If tuned<br />
improperly you just won't see good results.<br />
Piggybacked Rotor Systems
It's my understanding that these separate rotor systems can be<br />
piggybacked into multiple rotor systems for much more power output,<br />
something like the Harold Aspden systems but not the same really. No<br />
particular detail was given in this area. Anyway, if you look at Harold<br />
Aspden's multirotor systems it might give you some ideas about how<br />
these rotors could be assembled into a multiple high output<br />
arrangement.<br />
Recap on Core Material<br />
Use pure iron if possible for your core material.<br />
<strong>The</strong> lead plugs referred to are something entirely different. <strong>The</strong> lead<br />
inserts go between the magnets in the rotor. <strong>The</strong>re are (8) holes in the<br />
rotor and every other hole is for a magnet. the remaining holes in the<br />
rotor are for the lead plugs. <strong>The</strong> lead plugs are the exact same size as the<br />
magnets and must be perfectly balanced or they will throw the balance of<br />
the rotor off. <strong>The</strong> balance of the rotor is a critical factor because the air<br />
gap between the magnets and the cores is only .040. <strong>The</strong>re is no<br />
allowance for rotor wobble here.<br />
Recap on Coil Location<br />
<strong>The</strong> north and south poles of all the magnets are utilized in this motor.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re is a core coil assembly on the north pole side of the rotor and (1)<br />
core coil assembly on the south pole of the magnet. Both of the
electromagnet assemblies are separated by 180 degrees. This is also<br />
critical.<br />
<strong>The</strong> north poles of the magnets are all on the same side of the rotor. All<br />
the south poles of the magnets are on the other side of the rotor.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re were some misunderstandings, so that is why I'm recapping!!<br />

Recap on <strong>Motor</strong> Housing & Rotor<br />
Use only nonconductive material for housing and/or rotor.<br />
Remember the water proof aspect!!<br />
Drive shaft and hub need to be either brass or non magnetic stainless.<br />
Don't use any aluminum either on the rotor or in the motor housing!!<br />
Someone needed clarification.<br />
Magnets<br />
Remember we are using both sides of the magnets with this motor. This<br />
particular aspect is what allows this motor to be extraordinary. <strong>The</strong><br />
water conduit between the north and south poles of the magnets is also of<br />
great importance.<br />
Remember that the stators have to be separated from one another by 180<br />
degrees and also that they are on opposite sides of the rotor!! Also, you<br />
only have (2) stators with this machine and those (2) stators also act as<br />
the generator coils too.
Coil Winding Direction<br />
This is also very important!! One of the coils is left wound while the<br />
other is right wound. I was told which goes with north and which goes<br />
with south pole magnets, but I am unable to find those particular notes.<br />
Anyway, it is thought that <strong>Adams</strong> used repulsion in these particular<br />
motors, so we want to repel the magnets with our stators and not attract<br />
them. Anyway, I'll continue to look for those notes because it is<br />
paramount that we wind the coils the proper direction or the exercise is<br />
futile.<br />
<strong>The</strong> north pole magnet side coil is wound one direction while the south<br />
pole magnet side coil is wound the opposite direction.<br />
I'll try to find the proper particulars and get back to you.<br />
Coil Winding Direction (Clockwise & Counterclockwise)<br />

I'm unable to find the notes referring to which coils are wound<br />
which way, but I woke up the other night after much thought and<br />
I'm pretty sure I was told to wind the coil on the stator facing the<br />
north pole magnet clockwise and to wind the coil on the stator facing<br />
the south pole magnet counter clockwise. This may or may not be<br />
right, but I feel it is right.<br />
Water Lines<br />
Water lines inside motor housing that conduct water from the outlets of<br />
both stators need to be located on the outside front of each stator for easy<br />
maintenance. If you spring a water leak you don't want to yank the back<br />
of your housing off. You want to be able to get in there fast and correct<br />
your problem with minimum effort and minimum frustration.<br />
Anyway, as stated earlier in the thread, the motor housing is a box with<br />
the front end of the box open. This is a square box, so the bottom, top,<br />
back, and sides of the box are the same exact dimensions. For now I'll let<br />
you choose your own dimensions. You should have a pretty good idea<br />
from the diagrams how it must be done.<br />
<strong>The</strong> water lines come out the side of the stators approximately 3/4" from<br />
the end of the stator core facing the magnet. You can make the back of
the stator core a long as you need. Allow for gap adjustment. Remember<br />
that the coil is 2.25" X 2".<br />
Water Pump Scenario:<br />
You need to have a water reservoir and a pump to circulate water from<br />
the reservoir to the cores and then back to the reservoir for recirculation.<br />
You can pull off any hot water you want to use from the reservoir for<br />
other needs if you like. If you are not going to utilize the hot water for<br />
anything, you need to find a way to cool it down before recirculating it<br />
back through the stators.<br />
Drive Shaft Diameter<br />
It's a good idea to make the drive shaft 3/4" diameter but if you choose to<br />
make it less you probably shouldn't make it less than 1/2" diameter. <strong>The</strong><br />
length of the shaft is up to you. Depending on your timing mechanism,<br />
you may want it longer or shorter than I might prescribe. So, I'll leave<br />
that up to you.<br />
Shaft Collars:<br />
Use shaft collars on the outside of both bearings on the outside of the<br />
motor housing, to keep the shaft from having any side movement. This<br />
will prevent your stator cores and magnets from getting together at 3,000<br />
rpm.
