Could one of you folks experienced in building this stuff give me a guestimate at what size a homemade gen could be if I have 25 lbs torque at 600 rpm to turn...
Nevermind folks, I found a physicts book with the formula... only a little over one hp... Thanks anyway Lee B ... From: Lee Bell To: axialflux@yahoogroups.com ...
Just stumbled across the generator you folks have. I'm looking into bio-fuels (easy) and a steam engine called the Green Steam Engine designed by a fellow...
I have Hugh Piggot's design for his 12' axial wind generator. I was looking though at the Green Windmill which has sails instead that open to catch the wind...
Hi guys Can any of you advise me on the following. I wish to build a tiny pmg to power my garden (50) led lights. Due to space limitation and available...
I am doing the Hugh Piggot 12 ft prop plan and I have just your basic sandwich of 2 rotors with a stator in the middle. What if I put 4 rotors with the 2...
... Thanks for telling me about that Green Steam Engine. I have been trying to get plans for the Doble steam engine but this steam engine can beat that all...
Hi Dan -- to get three phase from 9 coils, you'll need 12 magnets per magnet rotor. For a tiny turbine, you could go 6 coils and 8 magnets for 3 phase. There...
The problem with the setup you describe is that the distnce between the magnets includes the thickness of the stator casting. the magnatic field decreases...
Good afternoon, just joined the group, I have lots to learn about axial alternators, see what happens. Right now I want to build a "tiny" test unit. like to...
For Joe -- Browne Altman's comments about watching your airgap and minimzing it are excellent. There's another thing to keep in mind, too -- you get less...
An axial flux doesn't "cog" until it's spinning fast enough to actually produce energy, so 3 phases works just fine. More phases would just complicate the...
To Joe Hawkins: I was thinking of running two 5 KW units on the standard "Green" steam engine, although sychronization may be an issue, or just break the loads...
Erik, If you're looking for steam, you might check out "Acro solar" in Az. Dan Erik Clark <netclark@...> wrote: To Joe Hawkins: I was thinking of running...
Wonder if this is the same Bob Green that rules the cheap end of the Wind Sector on eBay as qaz661. AKA / Hydrogenappliances. Hope not. Some of the boys in the...
Hi, Everyone,My name is Jim ,i live in Missouri near Lake Of The Ozarks. Since our winds here are not that good i am thinking of a large rotor like 16ft with...
Reply to Dan: Dan I was still going to have the magnetic field go through the 3 stators buy having the magnets perfectly lined up on the 4 rows or rotors. Only...
Erik, My 5 ton AC unit runs on waste oil. I have pictures of it on http://groups.yahoo.com/search?query=biodieselhouston Erik Clark <netclark@...> wrote:...
No. This is not a waste oil burner a/c group. this is a axial flux alternator group. There will be no more discussion along these lines. Keep it on topic...
I wish I could get a picture to everyone. I made one to explain what I am saying. The magnetic field would be continued since there are magnets all the way...
What is a safe way to store magnets so they will not lose power. I have them the way they where shipped to me all stuck together with cardboard and bubble rap...
Joe, are you talking about something like this? http://www.leebell.net/workshop/pics/miniv2.gif This is one I have been designing but I still haven't decided...
They should be fine the way they were shipped, You might want to keep them inside a steel box though. I have a bunch I bought a couple of years ago planning...
Make a still that runs on wood and make white-lightening or moonshine the run a Green Steam Engine hooked to your generator which is patented but you can look...
They will not lose power, so it doesn't matter. Be careful of sticking them together, it's difficult to separate them. Sliding them works best. Steve Spence ...
