It started with three 3x9x7foot quartersawn spruce planks which I carved into blades.

Elita gluing the mold for the magnet rotors.

Richard checks the polarity of the magnets.

Casting the magnet rotor in viynel ester

Similarly the stator is cast in viynel ester. These coils are wound by hand on Richard's coil winder.

Richard here welding the frame for the big T14

Bolting the magnet rotor to the back of the 6000 LB rated trailer hub

Its coming together! The bolts sticking out of the magnet rotor are jacking screws.

Ready to go up...
