I may just use a lot of these RT steppers up if I get these blades working....gotta find out the angle.
Love those little RT steppers !! Just to accidentally bump against the prop and a LED lights up is amazing ! ( :>) Norm[ Parent ]
Those steppers have a maximum current. Meaning faster won't make more amps. The higher speed makes higher HZ (faster AC), and that makes high resistance in this case.
At some RPM point, the inductance becomes so great, the amps will not increase.
And for the RT Stepper motors, that RPM ain't as high as you might think!
Meaning a steep pitch angle would be my first bet.
Those "RT Steppers" are almost all gone. I figured I'd never be rid of them! BTW, RT Steppers are not for sale. G-[ Parent ]
Partly avoiding the "I want to go off grid with an RT".
Mostly, I meant they don't have to go too fast before the amps peak out. I can't remember how fast... Seems like output at 600 and 1200 RPM wasn't much different. So maybe start with a steep angle.
The little buggers impress me. I used them for 12V. Slow, but it worked. Kept a 12V 7AH enough to charge my cell phone. :-) G-[ Parent ]
Well what would you rate one of these at? a couple of watts? Under ideal conditions... a close rival to a small solar panel?
(Trying to keep in mind there are probably other steppers out there that are maybe just as good or better than these ...Was just my first introduction to steppers) to be continued) ( :>) Norm[ Parent ]
If you are looking for 6V, I might have something better, If I didn't lose it. Couple hundred ma at 6V, but won't hit 12V. No fancy tire on it. G-[ Parent ]
