Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

Rounds appear to give less stator burnouts then the bar magnets.

Most on this forum have used rounds with excellent results.

The thicker the better, as the more power you will produce.
