| Micheal trimming the edges. |
After checking the progress of the wooden blades (great), we popped out the mold for the mold for the stator*, and cleaned off a few bits that weren't setting, trimmed the edges to give a nice square finish so that the 2 pieces would fit together nicely, and drilled some holes to let us clamp it all together.

| Nino's turn |
We wired up the coils in the mold and soldered them to create the tri-phasic circuit I mentioned in an earlier post, then we set them in a layer of resin an fiberglass, as well as a central column of carbon fiber (where the axle will be mounted) before heading off for lunch. After which Nino and I came back to wire up the 3 phases to the main cable - which runs off the turbine to the control system - and drilled a hole in the mold for it to fit through. Then we added a lot more carbon fiber, and fiberglass, clamped the mold together and poured in the resin, and left it to set overnight.

| Making some holes so we can screw both sides together. |
*I think this wordy phrase deserves some explaining as if baffled me at first. The first mold means that its a mold, the second one refers to the stuff that holds the coils in place, which sort of makes it the mold for the stator I guess, maybe it still baffles me...
