Hi Bill, 

Just a quick clarification:

I'm not sure I understand you- are you asking if I intend to make the 
stators adjustable?  The gap space will certainly be adjustable, but not 
while the thing is running- I felt it would be too complex for the big walls 
of phenolic that form the stators. Note that there are holes in the stator 
(around the shaft) allowing the thing to act as a centrifugal blower, which 
ought to help cooling a bit.

I'm just talking about a built-in method to adjust the firing point along
the AC half cycles when using a sync gap. This of course can be done at the
disk-to-motor shaft placement, but this is trial and error. Some of the
coilers who have built cradles simply move the motor itself in the cradle
to make this adjustment - and some do it while the system is running. 

It's just a thought for you if you haven't considered it,
