Stator

Stator

An electromechanical coil of copper wire that is connected to an external power supply.

This power supply, called a rotor controller, sends pulses of energy to the stator which, in turn, induces motion into the anode assembly causing it to rotate.

Stator Cord

The wire that transfers the rotor controller power to the stator.
