In the link I provided it shows the how to wire the coils together. You
link the coils on the stator so it ends up being one continuous wire. Wire
it such that if you follow the wire with your finger, as your finger
circles around the coils it will end up alternating between counter
clockwise and clockwise. 
Please let me know about the orientation of the coils. I will like to know
how to connect all of them together to get the output current. I know you
said you wound them in cc and acw. Say if you have one wound cc then the
other will be acw. Thanks this was the best video of all. Your explanation
if perfect.
can you further explain the barring “system” you made 
Hi, I am curious what wattage your system put out?
The original designer wanted to demonstrate electricity production without
using the power grid. It seems ur motor runs with the power grid plugged in.
Hi Dexter, The answer to using trapezoidally coils is too long to answer in
the comments. Try doing a Google search for “Design of a Lab Setup for
testing Stator Windings in Ironless Axial Flux Machines”. The difference is
negligible for a science project, it only matters when you really want to
squeeze out every last bit of inefficiency.
where did you get the spec info about the shape of the magnets and shape of
the coils? In the video you said the magnets should be square or
rectangular and the coils should be trapezoid
The system produced a maximum of about 18 watts with the simple straight
brass nozzle.
What generator did you use? Did you run a wooden dowel through the center
so it spins freely within the PVC tubes?
