!. Saturationa: It sounds like a sponge filling with water and has been confusing me. When the stator core lams come under the influence of an energized coil winding What is saturation? Is it more and more of the disordered magnetic domains within the stator lams, being induced into reorienting themselves to aline with the direction of flux of the windings. if so your stator lams are kind of latent nanomagnets that have to be herded into working in the same direction. I'm reminded of the moments before a symphony begins and all the string section is warming up all playing notes at different times , then with the tap of a batton the stings pic a note to tune to following the lead of one player and what was noise becomes music, is this a better analogy to what is happening inside the stator core under the influence of the flux generated in the windings?
2. Hysterisis: What exactly are hysteresis losses and are they brought about by the tiny individual magnetic domains all having to flip around and face the other direction when current in the winding is reversed at the command of the controller?
3. I looked at the idea of the catapult affect, and how the magnitude of the vector of torque created to turn our motors changes as the electrically generated magnetic flux in the coil wire is brought closer to the permanent magnetic field of the magnets.
Some questions arise. If the magnitude of the torque reaction is directly related to the proximity of the coil wire to the magnet this would seem to greatly favor axial flux machines as you coils could all be put vary close to the magnet and with no iron core you wouldn't have hysteresis loses, so why are axial machines so rare, ease of construction?
4. How is the torque capacity of a wound stator influenced by the geometry of the stator tooth. It would seem that in a standard wound stator the taller the stator tooth the taller the coil of windings and the greater the amount of flux you can generate, but as the stator increases in height the windings are farther and farther from the magnets and therefore should have less and less direct contribution to the torque, does this matter, if so then i would expect to find long short stators, but if major conveyor of flux is the induced magnetic field inside the lam core and not the windings themselves the then the taller the stator the more powerful your flux?
5. Winding stators: Does the influence of the winding on the stator lams change as you probe deeper and deeper into the center of the stator core? Does saturation occur from the outside in ? If so like burning a steak when the center is raw, are there loss consequences to having the outer lams in saturation while the center is not there yet?
6. Lastly I think I have an idea of how to increase the useful torque generated in the stator of a radial or axial flux motor by using a geometry for construction which would cut end turns way down. I'm not sure if it is wrong headed however, and I want to test it before I say something foolish, to do so I need lam steel in wire form varnished, is it available? in the same gauge as good lams. If anyone lives within an hour of olympia washington that I could talk in person to to see if I'm barking up the wrong tree? pm me if so
