Yes it would be possible to use aluminium wire if it is suitably coated with enamel. But the efficiency is lower as the resistance of aluminium is higher. So it will overheat at a lower current than a copper wire stator.

hi Johan, You would need to use diodes to build a rectifier and in the end these would be just as hard to find as the completed unit. They are for sale in every country. Try eBay or get one out of a car alternator. You can charge a battery without a controller but be careful. If the battery gets full then it can be damaged by too much charge and can even explode. A big old "flooded" battery (wet acid inside) is more tolerant than a small, new sealed one. cheers Hugh

I feel a bit silly for not playing much with Ferrites yet. Now that some time has passed with these machines I wonder if you'd comment on stopping the turbine with a short circuit, both with shorting all 3 phases, and also just shorting with 1 phase. So far, with NdFeB magnets I've had good luck stopping a turbine at any speed usually just shorting 1 phase, which is nice sometimes if something goes wrong with the line.
@scoraigwind2 жыл бұрын
It's a good question, Dan, and there is no doubt that the flux density is lower with the ferrites, which can mean less torque in a direct comparison. But I use massive magnets that fill all the space, and also the whole alternator is a bit bigger too for the same performance so I would say the braking is just as good with these ferrite machines I build nowadays.

Yes there are simpler methods but they are not accurate enough. By all means use all methods available and compare the results but GPS is not great for altitude. I have a GPS with an aneroid altimeter built in that I sometimes use but it is costly to buy and even that is subject to changes in air pressure. So for low head sites it is not great, and using GPS alone is pretty hopeless. Google earth is another resource that I use but again it is not perfect.

The voltage depends on the number of turns. Use more turns to get more voltage. We need to choose the correct voltage at the correct speed depending on the blades and the batteries we are using. With bigger diameter wire you can have fewer turns that fit the space. (Less voltage.) But the big wire does not get so hot, with the current so it loses less power and it can handle more current.

Yes it is true that the voltage depends on these things: Strength of magnets Size of magnets Number of magnets Number of turns per coil number of coils (in series) speed or rotation. Each of these things is important and affects the output voltage directly. So you can double it and you will see double voltage. Voltage is also affected by the load. If there is a high load and high current then the voltage will be reduced somewhat due to internal losses. I hope this helps. Hugh

some more info. at smaller scales, (lower operating speeds and) the inherent MA present in the radius of a wind turbine rotor, makes is sensible to use a wye/star stator config. in contrast, if the energy going into a pma is more efficiently utilized at higher rpms, a delta stator config SHOULD be considered. the output, generally, is the same. but the lenz-force braking 'ramps up', gradually, with rpms. output rises amps over volts. in the context of producing Electrical energy, this is NOT an issue. in all cases, watts = amps x volts googletranslate

Hi David, I don't really understand what point you are making here in these comments to be honest. I know a bit about the smartdrives (aka F&P motors used as alternators) and their pros and cons, but they are very different animals from the axial flux alternator that is the subject of this video. These axial flux ones have several advantages. tThe lack of iron core in the stator means very low or zero iron loss so high efficiency at part load, and easy startup. I can design for any size machine whereas the smartdrive has limited watts/rpm.

BUT THE CONFIG OF THE ROTOR CANNOT BE CHANGED, EASILY. possibly due to your advice/opinion, some folks think it is correct to Interconnect ADJACENT coils.

Very interesting. I came across very large size ferrite magnets used in industrial machines to trap ferric materials and prevent clogging. Some were cube shaped and crazy strong (actually scared me too much to bring back with me). The others were more similar to the shape you are using. To remove them from the machines they get considerably chipped and I am worried about using a magnet that is already a little damaged. Otherwise my neodymium-based low-powered turbines are coming along but when we upgrade, ferrites may be the only way to go here in Ivory Coast. Are ferrites okay with little chipping on the edges?
