Came across this video showcasing a company’s windings for their axial flux motor that has some similarities to your design, at less dimensionally. It’s a bit like the hairpin windings you see in large EV motors but in a fashion suitable for axial flux.

Yep. Unfortunately, to wind these, you do need some specialized equipment. But this is the go-to way of winding axial flux cores for high-performance motors nowadays. I have some ideas on how to increase the packing efficiency of the copper in the stator for future.

You couldn’t make them at home but you can see the coils come individually and the source may become available if not already. As with any diy project where you draw the line can be based on time and cost, would coils be worth the expense? I think it could be worth it.

Which flipsky is that? I have a 75100 pro sitting on a shelf supposedly destined for a bafang mid drive but you have me curious as to how it would perform with an axial flux.

It is in-fact the 75100! Thanks for recommending it <3 It works extremely well! But I do recommend upgrading the firmware on it (make sure to disable phase filters immediately after doing so and never turn them on, otherwise you'll brick the flipsky :x), it was a further maybe 5% efficiency gain.

Splendid! I will do this. What do you think about running it well below it’s rated output and potting the whole thing?
