You're right, of course, but current circumstances don't permit me to do so. That said, I've seen some postings lately where people are looking for alternate generating possibilities. This might fit the bill for some of them. I put this out as a diary so people could see the possibility. What's the point of sitting on this for a year? And besides, isn't this a community effort, to advance the use of wind power? I have no doubt the concept will work and if someone wants to try it they are welcome to do so. In any case it will take many attempts to feel out the size and other requirements to make an alternator that performs at either six or twelve volts at a reasonable rpm. So, I would hope anyone making one of these would provide their results even if they seem to be a failure. I realize people would not want to sacrifice their expensive magnets to something that's untried, so I suggest using circular magnets mounted on a disk with a threaded rod mounted to it. This way the magnets could be used with different size rotors and coils until a usable design is found. Anyway, I bet some people have four magnets lying around just waiting for a good use.
