If I do, maybe I'll have to fly down to Barbados for a week (or a month), in January and say I am sorry in person. Wouldn't that be too bad for me?
Some missing information I have... At the same wind. Approx 4 to 5 amps into the 12v battery pack. If it goes to 24 v batt it is about 6 to 8 amps.
I am sure people would like to know what gauge wire was used in the stator.
And how many wires exit the stator.

With a 10ft prop you will have more power to get the thing out of stall. Even so I think you will need to run at 24v especially with the single strand of #14 wire.
When you do break out of stall I think you will be surprised what you can get out of it. You seem to be in a good wind area. If you get those winds regularly I would not aim for the lowest possible cut in speed. If you start producing at 8 mph you will likely do better than aiming for a few mA in lower winds.

Given the output, etc, would anyone have a guess at a decent new stator for 12V?
Also the 12V amps such a stator could make with the same blades and rotors?
I had it figured at around 800W, however I am not good at this stuff, not even a little.[ Parent ]
Before winding a new stator I would try running the existing one into higher voltages until you then find the correct load speed.
From Ghurd's figures you are way better at 24v, I would also try 36 as I think it may do better. If it does then try 48 and if that is worse you have gone too far.
Then say it worked best at 36v you would use 1/3 of the existing turns. That way you have your result without more trial and possibly error.
