Thanks for that, I agree, but a lot depends on what alternator I end up with. I belive most of the alternators currently in use are of this "Multi-V" type,...

Dan, how many magnets do you have, if enough it would be good to have two discs, one on each side of the coils. You will need an even number of magnets spaced...
Wombatt hello yes I have 10 magnets, wishing to have 9 coils....what shape is your coils?, swg ?, how many turns? what is FWIW? I love the vawt especially the...
Afternoon, Dan: thought I'd put stuff here as someone else may be interested. I used 200 turns #22 wire, as my magnets are 1" x 2" the coil form is that size...

Hi I do not understand how you make the connection between low rpm and not requiring much torque or power. Low speed needs high torque for same power...
Hi Robert, thanks for replying, the application that I'm thinking of, requires Gearing, from a Low RPM and High Torque, to a Higher RPM of about 330, I...
... Each KW out usually needs 2 HP of input. It doesn't matter if it is at 10 RPM or 1,000 RPS! The torque required goes down as speed increases. TANSTAAFL!...
your torque will represent the output and losses. Never can be less. Kirk jon23456789o <jon234567890@...> wrote: Hi Robert, thanks for replying, the...
Some, perhaps noobies, questions... if you put twice the magnets on the rotors, what will the effects be? 'dubble' power, but 'dubble' torque to get it round? ...
imagine each magnet pushed toward the axes if the rotor does not move, pushed there with a spring or something, sliding somehow (have no clue how.. but please...

I just got my magnets in today. Wow are they strong!!! I walked into the houseboat with them and the tv went haywire...I was over four feet way... I feel sorry...
