How to build a homemade coil for a P.M.A generator. (wind turbine, hydroelectric)

[@martinlicht1969]

Wow..10 years ago and just noticed, very cool. I made a version and thank you...great improvement to what I had cobbled.

[@sunsensational]

Those are some tight coils. Love how use the epoxy to keep them tight. Looking forward to watching the rest of the videos. Thanks for sharing

[@steelsail]

This is so informative and well done. Thank you for sharing.... I think I might try and build a generator from scratch!

[@271828183141592654]

Thanks for sharing your methods and techniques. Cheers.

[@josemoreno3611]

Very good video . How many turns on each coils. Please thank you.

[@MYNICEEV]

Fantastic instructional video. many thanks.

[@martynjones973]

Nice and simple, nice one👍

[@queball147]

Very good how many coil winds did you do? also you said 24 magnets and 9 coils what voltage will this give off? thanks

[@DEWessonsax]

I see here your using 1 strand of wire as opposed to 2 strands, what are the differences in volts and watts. Thanks for the upload.

[@princedemiterios2488]

That well made , wondering about the output results now.

[@beholder4465]

Coils or serpentine? Which is more efficient?

[@mauro659]

Hi, very ingenious, could you tell me the thickness of the wire and how many meters to make a coil. Thank you.

[@skyJetsky]

@Aceman307 You can't use bare copper for coil windings. It would be like having a shorted coil ???

[@GenoLoma]

correct.. the wire must be insulated so that the current runs the full length of the wire coil, and not just jump through the shortest path from one side to the other. Electricity is a tricky bastard.. ;)

[@brown55061]

Care to share where you purchase your coil wire from? I'm new to this so I really haven't found many local sources. And the Internet stores I've seen are rather pricey. Everything looks fantastic though. Very clean work!

[@roelfrancisrodriguez6649]

thanks you so much sir...is that for 9 coils PMA and no.16 is enough sir and 130 turns ???

[@Paulexheistxer]

Hey did you try to wax the coil ? I got the idea from building a guitar pickup. you take wax, melt it for example at a deep fryer or a pot a put the coil into it for some minuten or so on (i don´t know how long it takes) a then you put it out let it cool down and you have a coil that will stick together itself. sorry for bad english im not englisch or american i´m german. greatings from germany.

[@verkauf9310]

Hi please share formula used to calculate turns coil size and wire gauge.

[@sreekumarsreedharan6923]

very appreciable nice work with easily available materials

[@Aceman307]

Everything I build I try to use materials that anyone should be able to find. Thanks for noticing and for watching.

[@Advantage12]

does it matter what gauge wire you use? is one size better than another? i'm about to buy a big spool and get to work on one of these myself.

[@tyhkee1]

Is 70 turns on a coil enough to get 12 volts? I made coils with 200 turns and I got no voltage. The wire size is 30 awg magnetic wire. I need some help.

[@heckyes]

Does it have to be enamel coated copper wire? Where do you get that stuff anyhow and how much is it usually?

[@cljd]

does the size of the coil have to match the size of the magnet?

[@eastsidesigns1]

what's the significance of 70 and 120 in making the coils and how does the diameter of the wire affect the winding?(thinner wire= less space for more windings? )

[@Aceman307]

@enticed2zeitgeist No it does not have to be enamel coated wire but you want get much voltage out of it. The Idea is to get as much wire as close together as possible in the coils so to get the most voltage from each passing magnet.

[@Aceman307]

@DEWessonsax I really needed to make this coils with more turns like 120 verses 70 I could never get my volts over 6volts with the wind conditions I have here. All the videos for making coils that I have seen show using one wire. I am now more interested in making some serpentine coils I hear they are much more efficient.

[@kyleervin2556]

awesome videos..what is the middle piece(as far as size & diameter of it) that you use for the coil to be wrapped around? also you say you cut it in thirds what do you mean? ..are the outer discs the size of what the final product of the coil should be? thank you...

[@Aceman307]

The disk in the middle is cut into three equal parts after you drill the hole in the middle its the piece that holds the coil. It makes it easier to take the wood disk out of the middle when done.

[@kyleervin2556]

Aceman307 Oh ok great thank you I didn't cut it into thirds I made the two outer discs with a 2 inch hole saw and then the center disc to wrap the coil around a 1&1/2 inch hole saw...my email is [e-mail] I would like to show you the one I built and maybe be able to have you as a contact for guidance for other questions I may have doing it for a process technology engineering class and have to have it built and running in 3 weeks waiting on the wire to come in should be in today though..thank you again

[@Aceman307]

The reason you use enamel coated wire is to get as many turns of copper as close as you can to the magnet the enamel is thin. You cant use bare wire it will not work. You could use say a thin telephone wire that has a plastic coating but this is not ideal.

[@joshuaeudave1510]

thanks cant wait to start making my own

[@andy347]

Isn't the number of winds more important than the length of the wire? Also, what's the purpose of the tape if you use epoxy?

[@countryside8122]

Am wondering if the coils are the same size as the magnets??? Or what is the relation to coil size to the size of magnet used??? Thanks

[@andreimatias4210]

Hi, I have questions. Please do answer them, thanks. what kind of epoxy are you using?, how.many volts does your stator generate, and what kind of magnet are you using? also how far is the rotor from the stator, and what is the rotation of your rotor, clockwise? Sorry if i got so many questions, but can i see your stator and rectifier, schematic diagram? thank you very much

[@juliotavares6430]

I would like to build a wind turbine, could you tell me about the stator's measurements, the magnets, the type of wire used the coils and the number of turns?

[@JSuparman]

thx for sharing. Good Job.

[@SGinDanish]

is this a must or can you use normal copper wire?

[@Aceman307]

If you un wind the 9 coils at say 70 turns each they would be the same length.You have to be able to hold the coils together before you pour the epoxy.

[@MonDeChua]

What is the inner diameter and the out diameter, and what kind of magne neodymium do use and what is the gap distance from the magnet to the cool diameter

[@Aceman307]

Check out my video Building the stator for my VAWT and it shows all the dimensions for the cols and magnets.

[@ernestobruno5733]

Than Dinh 0

[@ezgael1]

How many watts do you predict your design will generate?

[@B18bVtec]

Hey does it matter if the coils are wound clean like this.. I'm doing it by hand and ended up just winding it all messed up, also when I pulled it out I messed it up.. Will it change anything?

[@Aceman307]

+ Mark Villanueva It only matters so you can get as many winding's as possible in the tightest coil possible. The more copper you get close to the magnets helps the efficiency.

[@Aceman307]

@eastsidesigns1Tthinner wire = more space for more turns . Also the smaller the wire the higher your volts will be but less amps. So the trick is to get the right combination of high enough volts to charge your batterys but not to high because more amps will charge the batterys faster.

[@antizero100]

wow, thanks, that was really good, you have inspired me

[@mikefromspace]

He used 18gauge wire here with 6.5 layers, about 70 turns he says... I think that ace hardware has a book on winding coils with the math you'd need. There are different types of magnet wire btw.

[@alexoshike3367]

Pls how do you connect all the coils, in series or parallel

[@MAGATRON-DESTROY]

3 phase and each phase is in series and on 3 phase Y style you connect one lead of each series together at one point and the other 3 leads are the 3 phases

[@billmalta1]

Hi Aceman I just got my disc magnets 50mm dia/ 15mm I am not so sure about the coil (Dia/ W) dimension and wire dia... Can t find anything helping on the net... ;o( Any idea how should i proced? Thank s

[@AurimasAlesius]

Do you use insulated wire or unislulated wire?

[@MAGATRON-DESTROY]

Insulated with enamel, called magnet wire when you buy it

[@dedly13]

how do you calculate how much power a coil will be using on ac?

[@lincqimiq5265]

I get 20 gauge of magnet copper wire I need to know how many turns and I made a wooden wound .

[@noxth]

what is the liquid you put in when you are rolling the wire? thank you very much.

[@Aceman307]

fiberglass resin

[@Aceman307]

@skyJets What I thought enticed2 was asking was could he use regular plastic coated wire. Which you could it just would not be very efficient. I was giving him the benifit of a dubt that it would be silly to use bare copper wire.

[@geosynchronous1841]

what size of copper did you use and how many turns and diameter ..??? thanks

[@Aceman307]

In the first 25 seconds of the video I tell you I use 18gauge wire at 30 feet long which is about 70 turns. Thanks for watching.

[@asianbeggar]

How much power does dis produce?

[@SagheerQureshi-nx7yx]

Turn? Volt?

[@billmalta1]

ok I ll check this out asap thanks a lot ;o)

[@Aceman307]

I have never tested the stator using an exact RPM. emagnets has a few videos where he has set up his stators and can give you exact numbers for amps-volts -RPM. Of course these numbers really dont mean much unless you have a constant wind speed which most of us do not have. My generator produces from 0 no wind to 15 volts alot of wind. I am using 9 coils. I am now working with serpintine coils less time consuming to make and more effiecient. I am sorry not much help.

[@MYNICEEV]

Yes. Check out Muddymudman's channel. Put in the search "Ceiling fan turbine" then look for Muddy. He has a complete construction video series. I have one operating in my garden. Video coming soon.

[@Aceman307]

@woodburyadpost Thanks for the props. I live in Costa Rica and the mail system here is primative at best and cost alot to mail things. Its not to hard to build just using stuff laying around. If you need any help online let me know.

[@jameselliott9397]

Does anyone know of a software to simulate building PMA and axial flux generators where we could change coils, ohms, wire sizes number and sizes of coils and flux powers?

[@AndroidDevil]

A question, can I make a antenna out of a coil, I think I could because it makes an electromagnetic force around itsself if you wind it in a bolt and connect 2 ends to positive and negative ends of an antenna to make it more powerful and if anyone say it doesn't tell me how should I make a powerful antenna, Thanks.

[@myyemen5086]

How many. Number of rolls per wire

[@josemoreno3611]

30 feet 70 turns. Thank you.

[@clintontucker5084]

so went will the video come out

[@Aceman307]

@queball147 I used about 70 turns, The voltage depends on how fast it spins, I dont have a way right now to measure the rpms, I know my turbine spins too slow to make usable power from this PMA. I guess about 70 RPM gets about 5 volts'

[@GiuseppeGibilmanno]

I dont understand ,why nobody put an iron core inside this hand wrapped coil for w.g ?

[@GenoLoma]

An Iron core would get attracted to the passing magnets, and act like a brake, slowing the rotation.. Wrapping a copper wire around an iron core is great if you are going to put current into the coil, as this will make the iron an electromagnet.. this is not the desired function of the coil in this video.. If you need this explained to you in any greater detail, perhaps building your own wind generator is not something you should tackle.

[@DiversIFun]

Very impressive technique. Awesome job of showing how to make coils, but you are using the wrong shape and size. Magnetic flux moving across the coil only produces electricity when it is perpendicular to the direction of the motion. Your coils only produce electricity near the middle and not near the inside and outside edges. Square coils will capture more power and the in/outside edges do not have to be under the magnets because they don't produce power anyway.

[@andy347]

I thought that the voltage produced was a function of the number of turns in the coil, not the length of the wire.

[@wingedbull1257]

***** I want to use 4 N42 or N45 Magnet's position like N, S, E, W Size Of Magnet 1.75" L X 1" W X 3/8" Thickness, I like to know What gauge Magnet Wire I Should Use? and How many Feet's Use for Each Coil? I appreciate your respond and Help Please.

[@arifjahan629]

Coil should be ovail shaped for better results

[@Aceman307]

It is enamel coated magnet wire

[@Aceman307]

@bushbasher46 If you look I only have 12 videos. I show all the steps for making a wind turbine. I cut down my videos considerably and it still takes about 50 minutes or 4 to 5 videos to show step by step how to do it from begining to end.

[@elyass3919]

Hello ,,,, If allowed ,,, how many laps the circuit containing ,,, and what is user wire thickness. Please reply and thank you ,,,

[@Aceman307]

120 windings ,18 ga wire

[@elyass3919]

Aceman307 thank u,,, very much. u good man

[@Aceman307]

@brown55061 I was able to find the wire locally at a electric supply company. Try to find a electric motor repair company or a big electric supply warehouse. They sell it here by the kilo, I got 10 kilos for about $ 70 dollars and it is enough wire to make a little more than 3 stators. I have seen people on Utube recycle wire but it seems like a lot of work. Good luck.

[@jaromejacksan6934]

I took great plans from Avasva . It help me a lot with my own solars.

[@roelfrancisrodriguez6649]

sir how many turns is that per coil

[@Aceman307]

you should use about 100 or more turns

[@Aceman307]

Yes check out Muddymuddymuddman's channel he has step by step videos on building one.

[@dugagjindervishaj3440]

Does anyone knows how much wire do i need for a 25 v home made mini generator ?

[@Aceman307]

If you check out my building the stator video at 21 seconds I show a diagram of the magnets and coils . The magnet size determines the coil size. I also have a video on serpintine coils which i Iike better ,easier to build.

[@joshuaeudave1510]

What determines the outside and inside diameter of your coils

[@lincqimiq5265]

what size gauge of copper coil wire ?

[@Aceman307]

I used #18

[@lincqimiq5265]

how many turns? what size circle? thanks

[@bushbasher46]

i wise you guys would do a complete video on how to make a gen and the parts used and show it working not these damn little bits

[@TheDumascus]

awesome thank you!

[@RosaGonzalez-bh5le]

👍👏👏

[@Aceman307]

@billmalta1 I found some of the info for coil size to magnet size on VAWT.net its a forum with alot of guys from utube. Muddyman and Lynxsteam have good videos on electric theory that could help you also. I am working on another video that may help also it will be done soon.Good luck

[@williamrogesroges6199]

thanks

[@Aceman307]

Check out my video "building the stator for my VAWT". It should anwser your questions.
