Making A Press Mold - Axial Flux Stator Casting
41,377
Publicado 2020-01-15
Hey guys! Just a quick video today, showing how I made a press mold for casting an 18 coil axial flux stator - or showing why I prefer using vacuum injection instead. I built the turbine back in December, but my guy wires are now froze in a few inches of ice, so I probably won't get to install it until spring. In the meantime, I thought I'd share the press mold with you. It doesn't make a perfect bubble free cast, but it's easy to make, can be used multiple times, and does a reasonable job for DIY turbines. Links for the materials used to make the mold can be found below.
If you like these smaller projects, let me know in the comments and I'll try to publish more of them between the big projects to help fill in the gaps. With that said, keep your eyes peeled for an electric trike. As some of you already know, Grepow is generously sponsoring the build. I've been working on it and another big project on the side, but I'm not going to reveal that one until the trike is ready ;) Some really cool projects are in the works, so stay tuned!

Thank you so much. Keep it coming. i'm blown away with how much you know, how well you present it, and the fact that you're willing to share it with everyone. I will be following this link for a long time.
-
your content is always amazingly interesting...much thanks!
-
Awesome video. Really cant see the issue, but you did and know how to fix it. I have learned alot frome your videos.
-
Thanks man that's going to help me make a better stator love your video
-
Man, I'll have my new garage up ( hopefully ) by this summer and I can finally get to making this stuff!
-
Awesome, Thanks 🤘
-
that,s grate James you got it down pat now cheers
-
I have been making 3d printed plugs for molding this is great info,
-
Hey. You do some really cool builds. Question. Do you know of a grid tie in inverter that could handle your wind turbine design??
-
Good video
-
Very good helpful for un employed youth and also fight pollution thankyou
-
Yes stator 👍⚡
-
wow awsome
-
Nice demonstration. I like the inclusion of center holes in the coils for cooling . What diameter are the mag rotors for this project and what size/ strength magnets?
-
What a giant afford! Are you an engeneer? Or is all self taught? So good to watch…
-
I have made a permanent magnet generator following your videos. I am avtually trying to make it pedal powered. Can you help me with calculating the number of magnets and coils required, once we know the rpm we can manage, trying out different gear options?
-
Does it matter if the individual coils touch?
-
It's always going to trap bubbles without a way of releasing air out of it. I watch these guys making epoxy tables with all sorts of decorative inclusions. The Cure time of the epoxy is a lot longer and allows for the air bubbles to rise and they use a spray or heat on it to release when they come to the surface. So they pour half of the mold with epoxy, use the spray to release or either heat to release. Then they wait a little bit and then they pour a little more until the mold is full. Crystal clear every time...

🏆Excellent!!💎Big like!!🏆
