I meant that in terms of electrical insulator, like a thin piece of plastic or something.

Attached is a bad drawing of what I mean.
Yep, that's what it looks like, roughly...same idea all around.

I wonder, if and when I get this thing going, how much power I'll be able to pull out of it.
Rebuild it, put a bigger shaft in it, beefier wiring, bigger copper, and so on and son on...
I wonder what the limit would be...on a beer budget anyways...
