Hey, guys--need a nudge in the right direction. As part of our "energy quilt" we're looking at using a small steam engine to generate power when the wind's not...
I thought the beauty of grid tie was not needing batteries? I'm new here, but have electronics education and experience, there's probably a better way: I'd...
Yes, although it doesn't look like rocket science, Is there someone in this area who could help us out? Like I said, this looks like a lot can go wrong in the...

... For the most part, you're quite right, but a complex, multi-source system needs buffers. We're not talking about a battery large enough to sustain our...
Don't forget, if grid tied when the grid is down so are you, with a battery system you can disconnect and keep running. On control, I'd take a look at...
That's the downside of a grid tie only system, you have no batteries when there is a power outage. Batteries give you independence. An axial flux alternator is...
There is much more to it than just a diode to prevent reverse flow. You will need a grid tie inverter. Steve Spence http://www.green-trust.org ... From: "Walt...

I see, thank you, this truly is a good place to learn. I don't plan to grid tie, mostly because we can't afford it, but also we are dealing with a high level...
The two Dan's from otherpower.com are in Colorado. Jim and I are in NY. I don't know any other experts out there who give axial flux classes. You might want to...
Although this is not a axial flux alternator (that's kinda the whole point of this group), you will need a charge controller to keep from boiling your ...
Hi Brian -- Have you attended a homebrew wind turbine construction seminar? That's probably your best bet for learning how to run a seminar of your own....
I agree, learning in front of a class isn't pretty but it does work. How do I get a hold of the guys from Colorado? I bet the college will pay enough to make...
Are you the same Dan I just wrote off list to? Yes we want to build your design. We will have the schools resources at out disposal. woodshops, metal shops,...
... Understood. Once our battery reaches voltage, we have an Outback Inverter to put any additional power on the grid. We're just wanting to generate DC to...
