In Phase 2
• First on the list is to assemble a rotor of neodymium magnets onto the shaft.
• Second on the list is to insert the rotor through the bearings securely into the disassembled wooden panels.
• And third is to reattach the wood panels back onto the wood base blocks.

Neodymium magnets

(Top)

Neodymium Magnets(Phase 2 Parts)• We will need no windings on the rotor of the S.H.O. Drive. Instead the rotor of the S.H.O. Drive will be built using very strong magnets.• These magnets are an alloy of three atomic elements:• Neodymium (or Nd) (the 60th atomic element)• Boron (or B) (the 5th atomic element)• Iron (or Fe) (the 26th atomic element)

Neodymium Magnets(Phase 2 Parts)• These Neodymium magnets are from Magnet4less.com and are pound-for-pound some of the strongest permanent magnets that you yourself can buy on the market today.• These are often used in making wind turbine generators.

Neodymium Magnets(Phase 2 Parts)• Because these permanent magnets possess a stronger magnetic field, they will exert stronger magnetic forces on currents in S.H.O. coil.• In turn, the current in the wires will be able to exert stronger magnetic forces on these permanent magnets.

Assembling the magnet rotor stack

Securing the Shaft(Protocols)• To secure the shaft into place, I will thread some extra square nuts temporarily onto the shaft and clamp them down onto the Black & Decker Workmate with the Bessey XM7 3-Inch Metal Spring Clamp that I obtained from inside a Woodcraft store.

Magnetic Pole Detector(Measuring Equipment)• Before I attempt to attach the magnets to the rotor, I will identify the north pole of each magnet with a Magnetic Pole Detector that I purchased from Magnet4Less.com

Magnetic Rotor(Assembly)• 20 Large Neodymium magnets with dimensions of 3/2” x 3/4” x 1/2” (or about 38mm x 19mm x 13mm) will be stacked like Jenga blocks to form the rotor.• 8 Small Neodymium magnets with dimensions of 3/4” x 1/4” x 1/2” (or about 19mm x 6mm x 13mm) will be stacked in between the large Neodymium magnets.• Together these will form a flush fit around the 3/2”x1”x1” (or about 38mm x 25mm x 25mm) square nut assembly, resulting in a magnetic rotor assembly measuring 6” (or about 150mm) long with square poles faces measuring 3/2” (or 38mm) a side.

• 8 Small Neodymium magnets with dimensions of 3/4” x 1/4” x 1/2” (or about 19mm x 6mm x 13mm) will be stacked in between the large Neodymium magnets.
• Together these will form a flush fit around the 3/2”x1”x1” (or about 38mm x 25mm x 25mm) square nut assembly, resulting in a magnetic rotor assembly measuring 6” (or about 150mm) long with square poles faces measuring 3/2” (or 38mm) a side. 

Inserting the rotor

Wood Panels(Disassembly)• I will unscrew the hinges off of the wood panels, enabling insertion of the shaft and bearings into the panel holes.
Wood Panels
(Disassembly)
• I will unscrew the hinges off of the wood panels, enabling insertion of the shaft and bearings into the panel holes. 
Bearings(Phase 2 Parts)• I ordered shielded ball bearings from VXB at Amazon.com. These bearings are rated as having electric motor quality and will carry the weight of the shaft. • These bearings should fit snuggly into the holes carved into the wood panels.
