I hate having to go back 80 times every page-edit just to reset all the pictures, paragraphs, and somesuch. The WYSIWYG isn’t being very WYSIWYGgy, as some times it doesn’t even show things in the right places.
And to top it all off, it thinks it knows code better than I, and tries to modify the stuff I type in the raw text section. Not cool.
I accidentally found myself in Inventor again today and couldn’t help but turn up the trance and go on a designing spree. This time, it’s for Nuclear Kitten 5.0, the replacement for the current build which is extremely battle-worn. I’ve been wanting to try a “disc motor” for a while, where a brushless motor is built directly into the hub of the weapon, but haven’t managed to find a stator and the effort to do it. A few 12lbers have used this type of direct-drive effectively. Plus, I like big outrunners.
Here’s a first draft of the NK disc motor. I haven’t designed the rest of the bot yet, but it will be invertable with a free-swinging weapon pod. The Titanium disc will probably be replaced with steel – conveniently creating a surface to mount magnets on, though the outer dimensions will remain the same. Notice the “integrated rutts of magnet holding”. Being steel, the disc should create a good flux containment ring.
 The stator in the picture is 50mm in diameter and 6mm thick. This was sourced from a copier. Magnets should be three 6x3x2mm N50 chunks found on this site forming a magnet pole by being slammed next to eachother. There will be 14 total “magnet poles” to let me use a LRK style winding on the stator, increasing the motor torque by A Whole Bunch.
 Don’t expect this to be built any time soon, though… Slightly steeper obligations are coming my way.
