 For your files.  A prop extension.  The inner boss doesn't look
 like it extends one inch upwards though.   Source is AirCraft Spruce
catalog.
 Say recently  Google has linked images to a website.  Much faster
 to located a known technology.

 Check out this companies compact SR  water cooled alternator/ and
 starter motor.  Nice and compact.   SR is is a very efficient way
 to use the electric fields.   It is not easy to do though.
 Good-bye starter ring and starter?

C power  didn't develop the technology.  They are a customer.   The company
that developed it was SR Drives in England which is
wholly owned by Emerson of St. Louis. USA.

I have yet to find out the weight but because the rotor has no
windings and these puppies are super efficient my guess is about 17 lbs.

Here is Emerson's site.    I am now involved in designing a small
hydro electric generator of 1 to 3 kW range and water cooled SW is perfect.

Mistral asked me about this years ago.  Say what is happening
with Mistral anyway?

Mistral ran out of money.
They made the following errors:

1. EFI. Should have put an A/C carb and mags on it.
       Lycoming is now in the same position. At least
       they are exploiting the experimental market.
       The FAA don't do EFI.

2. Refused to sell parts to the experimental aviation market.
  Priceless free R&D.

3. Wasted time and money trying to get it to run on Jet A.

What about the Arabs(Dubai) they could loan them money.

Yes but they would have to agree to stone their wives
if they caught them fooling around. :)
