3D printed generator and how it works.

Copper wire: amzn.to/3OzclI4
Magnet: amzn.to/3nbv6Wx
In this video I build a 3D printed generator. It is driven by a gear ratio by hand. There are 8 pieces of magnets with a diameter of 15mm. The centric wave has a diameter of 12mm and is ~ 90mm long. For the 6 pieces of copper coils I used a 0.5mm painted copper wire. It is needed ~ 50m wire. The rotor has a diameter of 95mm. All parts were printed from PLA.In the video I used a much too strong lamp. As a result, the efficiency is relatively low. This should actually be slightly higher.

[@richardwilliams3215]

very interesting project ! there's only two ways to loose efficiency, I squared R losses in the coil windings and mechanical drag (bearings, wind resistance etc), adding a soft iron core into the coils can be a mixed blessing, making diameter of the disks much larger would help in lots of ways

[@FraensEngineering]

A soft iron core would of course bring a lot of efficiency. However, you get a "cogging" moment. This is not desirable for wind turbines. If you increase the diameter, you also have expontentiel increasing costs. Large magnets cost a lot. More copper would be consumed -> higher electrical resistance in the windings.... This would increase the voltage, but I doubt that the efficiency would improve. I must also say that I am not a specialist in the subject. Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)

@Fraens Hi, I am currently rebuilding your project. But I have difficulties with the coils. I have understood your circuit diagram. But which end of the coil is A and which is E? Regards

[@FraensEngineering]

Basically, it doesn't matter what you define as A and B. It is only important that you do it the same for all coils. For example, A is always the beginning of a coil. So the inner wire.

[@cours458]

[@FraensEngineering]

There are 8 pieces of magnets with a diameter of 15mm. The centric wave has a diameter of 12mm and is ~ 90mm long. For the 6 pieces of copper coils I used a 0.5mm painted copper wire. It is needed ~ 50m wire. 2 pieces of needle bearings with dimensions 16x12x10 are required.

[@vincentjess7929]

Hi, If the coil thickness is increased to 10mm will it get more output? Since there will be more turns...

[@FraensEngineering]

This would increase the distance between the magnets. This weakens the magnetic field. I don't think it increases performance. More windings increase the voltage. The ohmic resistance is increased by more wire. The overall output remains the same. Basically, the magnets should be as close together as possible. The air gap should also be kept as small as possible.

[@redesign3dp]

I like your design approach. I think it would make a better brushless motor than a gen. I believe rotor magnets and coils should be as close to the shaft as possible to cut down on on drag when you apply a load for gens with the opposite idea for motors. Clean looking pancake though.

[@FraensEngineering]

Hi, the generator is an often used construction for wind turbines in the DIY area. The coils are as close as possible to the pivot point. The size of the coils depends on the size of the magnets. The magnets should move past the legs of the coils. If I want closer to the pivot point I would have to use smaller magnets. The generator works best with rectangular magnets. Then you can optimize the size of the coils. Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)

[@aarynellsworth8858]

Thank you for this model and video. I have so many questions. What are the numbers on the charts that are separated by a comma. Do you plan to experiment more with Printed Generators? I am curious about the shape of the wire coils. Would you get better output with rectangle shape instead of the trapezoid shape used here? Also if you added two more discs (another set of coils and magnets). Would you get more power at a lower torque?

[@FraensEngineering]

Hello Aaryn Ellsworth Aaryn, I do not think that a rectangular shape increases performance. Through the round stator, trapezoidal coils fit much better. The current is induced on the legs of the coil. With a rectangular shape you need more copper. It is important that the coil / magnet number 3/4 remains. So you can, for example. 6 coils / 8 magnets or 9 coils and 12 magnets etc. use. Here is a cool tool for calculation: www.kleinwindanlagen.de/forum/cf3/topic.php?t=2825

Excellent work. Would 3D printed generators be robust enough for use in wind turbines? If so, this has fantastic potential..

[@FraensEngineering]

Hi, I have paired my generator with a petrol engine as a test. If the engine didn't vibrate so much it would work. On a wind turbine, I think you should find a way to not connect the probe directly to the generator. I would not direct the forces to the 3D printed parts. With a longer shaft + a bearing at the front and rear, that should work. The generator could then be hung up using rubber buffers.

[@columbustalley330]

[@sierraecho884]

@@FraensEngineering Why did you spread the coils in this triangular shape ? How exaclty does this improve the flux ?

[@FraensEngineering]

The induction function best when the magnet crosses the wire at right angles. This is best given by the triangular shape.

[@sierraecho884]

@@FraensEngineering Ah I see, thank you.

Nice work! You could further increase efficiency by adding a metal core to each coil, it will allow a higher flux than you can currently get with an air core.

[@FraensEngineering]

With a metal core, there would be a locking moment. That is why a metal core is not well suited for a wind turbine.

[@GeorgeAlbercook]

This is a tricky topic. The metal does not actually do anything to the efficiency directly. The efficiency is limited by friction and heat generated in the coils because of IR (current resistance) losses. It feels like you are getting more out of the motor but the output is still a function of the number of magnetic flux lines crossing coils per unit of time. If you add iron cores ( you will get detecting or cogging which as @Fraens said makes a windmill harder to start at low wind speeds) but you can get just as much power out without iron cores. You just have a lower concentration of magnetic field lines so you have to spin it faster. It feels like you get more power out because your arm can only spin it so fast. You could argue that additional gearing to get higher rpms will have additional friction including wind resistance but I don't think that is what most people mean when they say add iron cores. The same thing holds for the strength of the magnets. Neodymium magnets don't make motors stronger.

[@GeorgeAlbercook]

Certainly higher flux. But it just feels like it is more efficient at least to the first approximation. See my comment below. It is not obvious. I have had long arguments about this even with engineers. One thing that helped me think about it was to try to answer the question "What determines the amount of power that a generator can produce?" Hint: it has nothing to do with the magnets.

[@libertylarry7775]

Putting iron or steel will slow it down it flows because magnetic poles on the rare earths are aligned with the 2 rotors so the flux flows between going through the coils almost no friction loss !

[@raloed.363]

@@GeorgeAlbercook I read somewhere that the core only allows you to rap five times the amount of coil on the same size core. So unless your adding more wire it doesn't realy make a difference

[@mavie7016]

At 1:41, How about the 2nd rotor what is the orientation? Do the magnets place in such a way they repel to the 2nd rotor? Or attract? If attract, did you use glue to prevent them from joining?

Hi, I don't quite understand what you mean. Do you think the magnet will pop out of its hole and stick to the magnet next to it? You have to put the magnets on both discs or plus-minus-plus... into the holes. You can see that in minute 1.35. Now, if you hold the two disks together, attract the disks. However, the magnets cannot get out of their holes because there is a step in the discs.

I always dreamed about a bicycle without the chain! Like you spin pedals connected to the generator and charge the battery, then through wires energy goes to the motor.

[@FraensEngineering]

That's a cool idea. Can this work ;-)?

[@MrAutospec]

@@FraensEngineering Yes! Thousands of tons of oils are used every year to lube bicycle chains, contaminating the nature. Also it makes our hands and clothes dirty. There are millions of electric bikes, but most of them have chains. Why???

[@FraensEngineering]

First, I would tap the required speed. You already need a minimum speed to come to 12V / 24V. This depends on the number of turns of the coils. If you have more turns you get a higher voltage. With the same size of the coils, the copper wire would have to become thinner. This increases the ohmic resistance. This makes the efficiency slightly lower. A bike motor has about 250W. The generator would have to be built a bit larger. As a result, the generator also gets more mass. I think it will have a reason that does not buy such bikes. Maybe you could build something with supercondensors ..... ???

[@columbustalley330]

This can be done. It would be a very difficult to pedal bike. Chains are 100% efficient. Going from a generator to a motor is about 70% efficient. So you'll lose 30% of your input power to heat.

In conclusion 6:58, does metal plate on axial motors also increase the performance? not axial generators.

Most likely yes. But I don't know exactly. The performance could be increased again if you had a metallic core between the coils. But this would result in a "cogging moment". For wind turbines this is rather undesirable.

Hello, from minute 3 in the video I recorded the circuit diagram. The numbers are the coils clockwise. You will see the numbering at minute 2.30. "A" means beginning of coils, and "E" always means end of coils. A1-A6=beginning of the respective coil E1-E6=end of the respective coil As an example for phase 1: A1 is combined with A2 and A3. E1 is merged with A4. E4 is then the connection to the rectifier. So there are always 2 coils connected in series -> coil 1+4 / coil 2+5 / coil 3+6 In this work it would be good if the coils were labeled before installation.

[@raloed.363]

I was doing some test on low drag generators. I found out that if you turn the coils side ways (so that the magnetic fields of coil core is perpendicular to the magnet field lines) you basically eliminate the drag on the rotor. But at the cost of getting half the voltage. After care examination using the right hand rule I realize that half the coil is is fighting against the other half and the a net voltage is shown. My plan to fix this was to add the same magnet pole on both sides of the coil. So instead of north then opposite to that is south. You would have north then opposite to that is north. Then the adjacent is south and opposite to that is south. Then north north, south south etc. By the right hand rule this should allow close to the full power while still eliminating drag. I didn't get to test it cause it's hard making a rotor out of cardboard with minimal clearance on both side of the coil. If you could test and post the results it will be appreciated

[@FraensEngineering]

Hi, I can not follow you. Do you mean the coils would have to be rotated 90 °? If you are always south/south - north/north at these coils/magnet arrangement, the inductance in the coil will lift up. This creates no current flow. There are always 2 coils connected in series. Through the 4: 3 (magnet: coil) arrangement, the magnets are always guided via the legs of the coils that a current flow comes about. Currently, I am to assemble the generator to a gasoline engine. If that works well, I will build a larger generator and load a car battery. An inverter can then operate 230V devices. That is the plan. Let's take a look if that works like me think that :-)

[@raloed.363]

@@FraensEngineering yes the coils would have to be rotated 90 degrees. So picture a normal axial generator where each coil is sandwich between attracting north and south magnets. Now rotate the coils 90 degrees and sandwich them between repelling magnets. I know the coil generates power at 90 degrees even if it's not sandwich between magnets and that the voltage generated is usually near half that if the same coil was not at 90 degrees. And by examining with fleming's right hand rule it makes sense, because half of the coil is generating power in one direction and the other half is generating power in the other direction. So a net voltage is produced at the coil terminals. The voltage is not zero because the half of the coil further from the magnet generates lower voltage. The 90 degrees orientation almost has no drag. So the question is can this orientation be improved using repelling sandwich magnets to compete with the normal axial design

Please make a constructive suggestion to improve efficiency. I think that would interest everyone. Disk generators for wind turbines are built like this. Such comments are of no use to anyone.

I suppose you engineer motors from scratch for a living then? We are all humbled by your wisdom. /s

Very bad performance ! Without experiment you did everything you wasted money and time Definitely coil shape and size are wrong Number of turns too You should not upload this on KZbin This will misguide the people

[@FraensEngineering]

Please offer constructive criticism. Give suggestions for improvement. I think other people are more helped by this. I do not know if you have already dealt with disk generators. Apparently not! The coil shape is built exactly the same for such generators.

Hate! Models is for Cash so Nah! dont buy

50W ?

In the video you can see a performance test

Would you sell all the parts in a kit ? How much ?

[@FraensEngineering]

Hi, I'm currently concentrating on my projects to produce new content. If my channel has a greater range, I will think more steps. Maybe then I could sell kits. But until the time has come, I will not sell any parts. Maybe you know someone with a 3D printer. You can download the parts from Thinkiverse.
