[Lab] human powered art

[Darcy Whyte]

has lots of steel? I'm supposing it wouldn't have to e that part.

Come think of it, I think I saw that one using the volvo disk a few years
back (I've always been interested in wind turbines).

The volvo design seems quite common....

The magnets are glued to a metal disk or hub, the coils are cast into place
using epoxy...
