S.H.O. Drive Mark I will be the world's first S.H.O. drive (unless proven otherwise of course) ;).

S.H.O. Drive Mark I will be the world's first S.H.O. drive. Come back in the next couple months for major updates! S.H.O. talk 21:35, 5 May 2016 (PDT)

S.H.O. Drive Mark Alpha refers to the original plan for world's first S.H.O. Drive (April 18, 2016). The actual build will incorporate clear acrylic tubes to elevate the wooden panels inside the crate for maximum transparency and minimization of the ways to hide batteries. A build and demonstration was planned for the 4th of July, but I decided that more planning was need in terms of the logistics of the demonstration as well as the final shape of the S.H.O. Coils. The build time to make the S.H.O. Drive is, and I estimate, to be around 5 hours. Since the video showing the build must be done in one take, I have to make sure that I have my ideas lined up, so this way they come out smoothly in the presentation.
Also, cost information is not listed for S.H.O. Drive Alpha because it is preliminary work, but when the world's first S.H.O. drive is built, the cost information for that build will be made available. Sincerely, S.H.O. talk 20:06, 4 July 2016 (PDT)

Wood of any kind has been completely eliminated from the planned S.H.O. Drive build. The acrylic rods have been cut (August 14, 2016), and the coils and magnets have been assembled (August 26, 2016). However, the magnets were not built according to the new plan due to assembly mishaps. So the bending of the rectangular copper windings need to be rethought, but definitely into a different S-shape. The "S-arms" will have about the same length but over fewer degrees of arc due to a larger radius. The "S-arms" will likely have "hands" bent away, radially, from the shaft to reduce drag. Also newly accounted for is the increase of the phase angle between the voltage and current as rpm increases, and so the "S-arms" will be planned to have around 90 to 135 degrees of arc.

 Reason for change: The wound coils have a larger thickness to due an intentionally-reduced perimeter of the actual winding vs. the original plan.
