___the Worlds _ lightest _ Gp 15 Set Up
This is a home made G7 can and endbell the weight is a
total of 1 gm on my set of scales.
Gp15___ project V
hand made 8 magnets
The first photo shows a magnet being cut down.
On the right I have used a zip tie to push them together
inside a can using JB weld I am using no heat in the Gp15 magnets I have testing baking paper between the
magnets and the can so they don't stick together it worked well.
Ok, they are cleaned up now and on the left I am checking the fit in the can.
Here I have cut the length of one side and show how much shorter they will finish .440" long.
I have used a OSR special can tool I made which centers the can to bearing
I have a short spring from a biro to stop the bearing falling inside when soldering.
On the right shows the finished solder joint of the bearing, the can hole has to be increased a little to do this.
After making mods to the can I have positioned the magnets and epoxied them into the can, position in the can with the arm is important.
This photo shows the hone inside the 8 segment magnet motor I have made.
It is .480" Tall, .440" Long and a Bore of .495" this was picked because I have a number of 480" Gp15 arms and can't affort new 500" arms for a test motor.
I don't have a .505" hone either, but this motor I can always be honed more if I get some more cash for arms and hone.
