Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

How would one go about making my own armature? I want to experiment
with making a BLDC motor, and want to make my own armature. Is there any
way to do with without casting? I was maybe thinking cutting several thinner
armature-shaped pieces out, then stacking them to get the thickness I
need.
Also, what differences would I see between running a dual stator like some
of you are doing with F&P's versus one larger stator that would equal the
size of the 2 combined?
Also, is there a formula or something I can use to figure out number of
windings, wire thickness, etc?
