MickHector has a good point, using off the shelf motors. The RV is terrific, and in retrospect, easy to make work( Myself, I had a bitch of a time the first go round, and without hand holding from Doug and all wouldn't have got so lucky)Cheers Warren

Warren,
I though one of those coreless generators would be simple to Koneheadize. The only issue would be whether the coils are far enough apart for the designs Doug has found to be best once one adds in the requisite hall switches and such. I like Hectors concept of modding off the shelf devices into useful tools.

Making a Kone motor is very easy, it just looks complicated. Once you consider each component, you are winding magnet wire off one spool and on to another little spool. Your granny could likely do that while making dinner, and keeping the moose out of the garden. The little empty spools are a pain in the butt to find. I made mine out of white plastic water pipe and thin Lexon sheet of about .060" thick, using a hole saw on my drill press. Start with the outside diameter of your spool, cutting out the discs, each having the 1/4" pilot hole in the center. Take each out after you cut them. Don't forget to use a scrap of plywood on the drill press table for cutting with the hole saw, (making sure you center the table, so the pilot drill goes through the center hole and not the table)
Once you have the required number of discs for spool ends, (plus a few for fudge factor) take a smaller hole saw and drill the center to be a nice tight fit to your pipe on your using the pilot drill hole in each washer disc you have made. I use dollar store crazy glue that gives you four little tubes in a plastic bottle, when not using my solvent cement for plastics. You can also use plumbers ABS to PVC transition glue, or epoxy. The Epoxy works best when you have made a sloppy fit of things. Glue up the spools on wax paper. Cheers Warren

Kone,
Did you have a look at the coreless generators from China?
Do you think these would be easy to turn to Konehead motors?
