Hi all ! I would like to share some information about a wind generator that I'm making but without the desired success. We would like to make a generator to...
Hello all of you I am looking for some help to build generators that can power a poor small town in Mexico. This people have been depending on diesel coming...
10 of them? And you are going to phase them how? I think this is one of those Angels fear to tread scenarios. Kirk ... From: I.M. <solounplaneta@...> ...
 I am not an expert myself; we are looking for some help on designing green power plan. I appreciate your questions. Any answer to them?  I have been...
What is happening with we connect the generator to the batteries and we are not able to go faster than 120rpm? ... Hi Max -- Does the alternator spin freely...
Hello Ismael -- It sounds like you are considering some sort of floating hydro turbine? Unfortunately this is the *least* efficient way to capture hydro power,...
HELLO DAN FINK Thanks for your answer. I understand how important it is to measure river power, i will do accurate measures including theoretical head. However...
Hi Dan and All, I wouldn't call it that ineff as a paddle wheel is fairly good. While it does turn slow you can put magnets all around the wheel for the slow...
... recycled copper wire is risky, as insulation scuffs and kinks in the wire will make an unreliable winding. Resin will have to be new also, it's not...
... What is the voltage and amps at this condition ? (powered by your 3hp motor?) ... Auto Starter batteries are not well suited for deep cycle use, expect...
                Hi Ismael and All,                         You need to go to the river and toss a piece of wood, etc...
Hello Ismael -- To sum it up, there are quite a few folks here who can design an alternator for you to any specs you need. However we would need to know the...
Hi, It would help if we had a google earth reference so we can do satellite recon and see for ourselves. (Possible dam sites, etc). Location please? Graham...
Hi, Dan, the river shown in the U-Tube video looks like a prime resource. In the long term, the local community building an earth and rock dam, about 3 meters...
Hi Dan, ... Yes, the alternator runs free below 75rpm. The stator is not shorted we have tested this. Once the we acheive the cut-in voltage it starts to get...
Hi, Has anyone looked at the Hugh piggot site? he has a small feature up now on his latest hydro-turbine. Seems to work well. Has some details. Regards Graham...
I am currently building my 2nd one, and the first one was a success, but more of a learning tool for me! I wound the 9 coils from wire reclaimed from dead...
I excuse myself from not answering all your emails. Thanks a lot for all your help, with some time I will land all your ideas and suggestions one by one. I am...
Hello Ismael -- By slope I assumed you did NOT mean head, so using the Sine of 36 I calculated your head at 5.878 meters. Note below that theoretical...
 Hi Dan  Thanks for calculating the theoretical kW.  I am a bit confused about design to use, ……. "almeyda_60" on the group already suggested screw ...
hi sono and all, there is few times i found that : http://www.jdl68160.com/jauges_awg.pdf in this table we can find each Ga and there coresponding wrapping and...
After some numbers I have calculated at the river, I see not problem having this amount of water going out of a dam year round: Flow 2000 l/s (maybe divided in...
I found in wrapping the coils, I used a 2in X 1in block of wood with 1 back block screwed onto it! I drilled a hole for the starting wire to hang out the back...
you sell magnets? I would like some wedge shaped magnets tapered on both axis so they would assemble as a sphere. Today's scientists have substituted...
Hi Ismael-- Is there anything particularly 'magic' about your selection of 50 kW x 10? Have you surveyed and recorded your community's load profile over along ...
I wrap mine all at the same time. I figure my length say 25ft, then drive a nail or screw it a wall that far apart. Next, string the wires one at a time untill...
I do not sell magnets, i sent prices so we could use them to calculate costs on my projects. As i explained those prices are from China manufacturer. They sell...
