Have you read THIS ? Can you reconfigure your aluminium windings? Re connecting aluminium electrically I think may be a challenge, However something like EXAMPLE may be helpful and a steady hand. I would try one with the original windings, then when you have it working decide either to go again or a rewire in copper. Always Thinking |

Thanks that was my plan . I did have Hugh piggotts book on turbine construction with a good section on winding coils but I've lost it , thicker or thinner copper wire for slow speeds just can't remember the stock stator has 1mm wire but that's aluminium, so if enyone has eny thaughts please jump in |
