<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
