Jason, The number of windings determines the voltage level. The size of the windings determines the ampacity...current. The speed or RPMs determine the...
And the voltage. The voltage induced per turn is flux - magnetic field strength and rate at which you cut the lines. So speed and magnet strength directly...
Hi, Sorry for leaving the entire thread in this post but for some reason my computer will not let me edit it. I'm learning and just want to understand: It's...
has anyone used an old ceiling fan to make a small wind generator. looks to me it would be easy to install magnets to the inside of the part that turns and get...
Yes. You get an amount based on field strength and rate and that amount is then multiplied by the number of turns. In the real world the flux will have a bit...
But not very related to an axial flux alternator. Homopolar generators are a completely different animal. Dc outputs and requiring brushes. Steve Spence ...
That (homopolar) discussion starts on page 3. Did you skip pages 1 and 2? It was remarked earlier that one of the users here didnt know velocity was important...
I didn’t skip it, I just misunderstood the reason for the reference. I find Lancaster to be a crusty old dude. We butt heads quite often. Used to love his...
Didnt know that. He tends to be technically correct. Pretty good author though I dont see much anymore - but then the younger guys seem more and more to skip...
He probably has a mild case of burnout. Or not so mild. Havent talked to him in years. I see he has some misinfo re ethanol. By and large he has some good...
Steve, An axial flux generator can be homopolar and will output only DC, if you spin the central disk with magnets mounted on both sides of the disk with the...
Talk to me more offline on this homopolar axial flux generator design so that I can decide whether to cover it on this board. It sounds interesting. This is...
Hi, I'm new to this stuff. Is there a website where the subject is discussed in a basic way? I'd like to catch up. Thanks, Dan ... From: Lawrence Rayburn To:...
Can we discuss this online? I would like to know more about this, and I am sure others on this list would as well. I would also be interested in Hugh's...
Well, here is good. So is otherpower.com, and the other links listed at this group's home page, http://groups.yahoo.com/group/axialflux/ Steve Spence Director,...
Sure, go for it. I don't see it as a axial flux, but maybe it's close enough to consider. I'm willing to be persuaded. Steve Spence Director, Green Trust ...
Lawrence - maybe I have a misconception but from what I understand you're dead wrong. You cannot build a 'homo-polar axial flux generator' that produces...
Dan, Let's drop back to basic definitions to get everyone on the same page, okay? Axial Flux.....what does that mean? I understand it to mean magnetic flux...
Not really a backyard DIY project, is it? I think I'll stick with our usual type of axial flux genny until the other ones don't have to be made out of...
Lawrence, I follow most of what you have said but still have a few questions (please forgive me if I sound like an idiot, I have not actually built an...
I'm not convinced that the homopolar concept is a close enough relative to the charter of this group. Anyone wanting to delve deeper into that type of unit...
It seems to me that what Lawrence described is very close in design parameters to the Axial flux alternator and I would like to know more about the difference...
It's my job as list creator/owner, and the job of the moderators, to keep this list on a clear focus, and not sidetracked with pseudoscience or off-topic...
Okay, so post my HomeEnergyAlternativeSolutions@yahoogroups.com forum for those who want to pursue the HP DC low speed generator design. Regards, Lawrence...
Agreed, I have learned alot by 'listening' to this specific list (and referenced web-pages) as was the reason to join in the first instance. I haven't built...
