I did look at separate segments, in fact I bought some sintered neodynium blocks to machine to shape then have magnetised and bond them into a ring. <br /><br />I had originally thought to have them done to increase the magnetic flux, in an attempt to increase the charging output of the stator perha...

I'm sure that when it's ready it will be made known.<br /><br />I'm not sure it's the sort of thing a 'group buy' would make any difference on, since they're being done specifically for forum members anyway.<br /><br />The run numbers and availability will be dictated by ...

It's initially gone to get measured up for having a number of them made, then it's going to get fitted in a motor for testing by someone who breaks them a lot.<br /><br />If it stays in one piece then a number more will be made to the same design.<br /><br />If all goes well I hope to get a ...

What I meant with regard to the Hayabusa buckets really was 'do they fit OK?'<br /><br />If they drop-in with no issues they are probably a good follower to start with rather than use the 'Dale ones, which it appears have been variable in dimensions at times.....<br /><br />You can bet t...

Well there's a revised design flywheel on its way over the salty pond just now......<br /><br />It came out a few grams lighter overall than stock, but will have less inertia since more of the mass is in the centre.<br /><br />When I get five I'll part the magnets from the flywheels I have h...

I would use Nitrided, micro-finished buckets with a DLC-star from Oerlikon Balzers (in UK) if you don't want to send your buckets around the earth..... It wasn't expensive to have done at all really.<br /><br />You know I had a few sets done that I've sent here and there for testing and ...

Did that already. SEM, who are part of the Swedish Opcon group, made them and I did speak to them quite a while ago.<br /><br />They said they make magnets to the size they required in large batches. They weren't prepared to sell us the magnets on their own, as they didn't have any separate ...

It can be done, completely new magnets I mean, but the company I enquired with were talking ????10,000 for the tooling, which would make them silly expensive over the number of units we are talking.<br /><br />Releasing the magnets is a PITA but it's less of one than earning a spare ????10k.<br ...

I have a revised new, one piece, item on it's way to the 'States now. It's going to get measured up ready for a decent production run, I proposed fifty or so to start with.<br /><br />Then it's going to be fitted in a motor ridden by someone who breaks them all the time. If it lasts ...
