Please stay on topic. This is a axial flux alternator discussion group, where wind is one application. Other solutions, especially commercial, non DIY, are not...
I've been looking at all the various sites I can find where people have built axial alts and can't find what I'm looking for at all. I was wondering if some of...
... Some silliness. Try bubble wrap as insulation for your first tests, it's cheap! Most lathe headstocks have two ends. Could you mount the rotor on a shaft...
Hello all Is there any one out there, who can build and sell One (1) Axial Flux alternator with the following requirements (in order of priority): *) Power (>...
hi mohammad, where abouts are you? to get that sort of power at those speeds will mean it will have to be pretty large in diameter. the rest of it is doable. ...
JK: You have your "greater than / less than symbols) reversed. The correct usage would be 3>2 (3 is greater than 2) ..... or 5<9 (5 is less than 9 ). You...
Why would you wish to not make your own unit and save some money? There is a great deal of information on how to books on this site and it is a great feeling...
hi all, the biggest cost will be the magnets. you can buy a ready wound and cast stator from otherpower.com. the difficult part will be getting that sort of...
I need a little verification from the group before I go ahead and attempt this. If I wanted 12 V, 5-phase, I would just do 10 coils of #15 USA Magnet wire,...
Hi all Thanks for replying & commenting. I am severly tied up with my available time and the project that I have to finish. Plus, you DO need some experience...
Hi, I m Anand Dharsandiya. I m from Gujrat state from India. I m studying in Electical Eng. I fell proud to join this "Green Group". Right now i m makeing a...
If it's attached to a axial flux alternator, it's on topic. This is not necessarily a wind group. Steve Spence Dir., Green Trust http://www.green-trust.org...
Hi I read all files of our group. But I want to know how to design axial flux gnerator? Equations of no of megnets,coils etc. pls help me in my project. Thank...
Hugh Piggott's book will give you all the background. That's where most of us started. Without that, it's like flying blind. Details can also be found in...
hi anand, is this for a wind turbine? if so it is well worth buying hugh piggots windpower workshop book. it has all the information you need plus all the ...
Just found this site and I am building a 1000 watt axial generator of my own design. I am in the Tampa area and though I have a few friends who are curious,...

Hi to all, I just joined the group from a link at otherpower.com I am interested in reasonably-priced ways to reduce the expenses of modern living. At...
Is it possible to balance the blade rotor by wrapping the tips of the blades with lead tape (for tennis racquets)? I was curious if the rotor balancing has to...
I'd do a lot more than just wrapping things on the blade tip, that would be askinf for "unidentified flying objects" when the rotor got up to speed....
Balance at the blade roots, not the tips! They'll never hold together at the tips. At our shop, we use lead tire weights or decoy weights screwed on near the...
You know the real physics behind this balance is really kind of neat I think. Essentially, balancing the rotors can be done in any location you choose, it...
Good thoughts, Steve. On our model airplane props (2 blades0 we usually scrape or sand the heavy blade to balance, on a one blader, the counterweight has to...
