I am trying to do a DIY project of 1KW 3 phase permanent magnet alternator suitable. I think of around 1 feet dia stator with rotors having PMs on its both...
Hi, Sorry to but into this thread. I'm a huge fan of the group and a long time lingerer. First time posting however. Thank you to those responsible for this...
Direct Grid tie is not appropriate for this design, as rpm must be fixed in a grid tie application. these alternators are 3 phase wild ac, with swinging...
Hi  I dont have confirm voltage value in my ming. Actually I am looking to produce maximum possible output KW from lower RPM input.  so what should be...
Voltage needs to be known, for that determines the gauge of the wire, and the number of turns. 100 rpm is too slow, as these units are designed for 650 rpm or...

Most VAWT's I've seen are noisier than our HAWT. It's the small high rpm units that make a lot of noise. That 40% more efficient blade turns a 10% efficient...
Wonder, have you looked at the Lenz blade pattern ? From the pics on that research site it's kinda in the same thoughts. FWIW, I had a small unit built and...
I found about 40 small neodymium magnets on an industrial garbage storage. They seem strong, but they are only .25" thick. Following the tipical construction...
Say the subject three times as fast as you can. Awesome! I really appreciate you taking the time to share your knowledge and experience. I'll definitely be...

Hey folks, I could use a suggestion or two. I'm planning to build a small axial alt into a jackshaft on a recumbent delta trike. A small 49cc engine and a...
Hey Steve, I have a few questions that the answers to would be a big help. 1) How big is the diameter of the center of the magnet circle on the ones your...
The magnet plate is 12" in diameter, the magnets are 2" long, and are aligned to the outer edge of the plate. This unit can produce approximately 1000 watts at...
Thanks a lot. That's really all the info I needed! Lee www.packratworkshop.com ... From: Steve Spence To: axialflux@yahoogroups.com Sent: Saturday, February...
Has anyone seen this guys videos on Youtube? i am curious to what you guys think about this mans setup and if it looks like it would work better then most...
This looks pretty much like ours, cept for the cool(ing) holes cut in the rotors See my newsletter for progress report on our axial flux wind turbine ...
I watched this, is the next step to pour resin on the rotor to hold the magnets in place? I saw the metal strip on the outside and wondered if it was a form...
I wouldn't use oak, it's heavy and brittle, yellow pine would be better. the video showed him using either hemlock or douglas fir that was full of knots, it...
