Asif cuts off the extra resin.  This stator came out too thick.  I got caught out by the resin I think.




Laying out the blades on the table.


Andrew spent a lot of time inside the rectifier box.  This is a 12-volt unit with onboard rectifier.





Jim fits the second magnet rotor.  Because of the thick stator we used magnets on both rotors.






Balancing the blades.


Two film crews covered the erection.  Munhwa Broadcasting Corporation (MBC) are one of the four main TV networks in Korea.
