Al G's doing is playing with the commutator lead pitch, number of turns per coil slot and the winding wire gauge. For the given application you can juggle these around to get an optimum wind for a given application. This is expensive unless you can wind motors yourself as its allot of stuffing around. He should be working towards using rare earth magnets and contra rotating props to really make a comfy scooter. ;-) Bruce >Thanks. > >Cam > >= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = >Cameron Banks 408-821-6314 cell >Applied Materials Account Manager 408-934-0500 office > 408-934-0707 fax > 603-754-3638 efax >Aera Corporation >422 S.
