<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
