Transporting the V-LIM stator for wiring
Engineers at a faciity in Portland transport the V-LIM stator to be properly wired in anticipation of the first testing of the new generator.
Sadly, the coils wound in Coos County had to be rewound. The ceramic insulation applied by a local powder coater cracked and failed and mitigation attempts to ease the sharp edges of the coil core by the former local fabricator were inadequate causing multiple shorts. All the money invested using local talent may have helped the local economy, I don’t know, but my company has nothing to show for it and is almost a year behind schedule.
Happily, we are making great strides and hope to invite Oregon Department of Energy for the first spin test of the new generator before the end of August. It has been a long hard haul made all that much harder trying to do it here in Coos County… no more!
