Sorry, I have realised that these two almost identical diary entries are from different people.

Don't take all my criticism too seriously as it was aimed at the first person and he may still be very happy.

The basic comments about the futility of car alternators still apply and they will only produce worthwhile outputs on very high wind sites. They may work well enough on the best inland sites and may supply the modest needs of a boat at sea in a real good wind area.

lol, well it was my diary you must have looked at. seems to me ive read of people posting their results on how their progect was going over and over. i posted simple results of voltage, it took 5 min time to change out the stators. most here on this board only want to post about their home made gennys, to me thats fine but there are other ways to produce power. magnets, wire and hardware are very expensive to build a generator from scratch. i bought a stator and rotor from windblue assembled it in a gm alternator and ran tests with a couple stock gm stators. the results are the only thing i attempted to post. as it is, with the 22ga stator installed i can super light a 12 v bulb with less than a full revolution by hand. this person may want to check with windblue and look at their different stators. i have less than $200 in these two parts from windblue. hope this helps

I wasn't happy with the editors removing comments from your Post. I can't even bring up my comment myself anymore. It takes time to compose the comments, and if that practice continues I will probably abandon the site rather than continue wasting my time. I had no particular complaint with closing the thread, but the comments should have remained. I take a dim view of removing anyone's comments. Once posted they should remain archived, warts and all.

Finn;

You are diverting from the thread but I will say this:

He took issue with my attempt to help, called us snobs and requested I not comment in his Diary and I should remove it. Also claimed he did not want comments. By removing the comment of mine it removed the replies. Per his request.

No need to comment because I already know you will automatically take the opposite view and it would simply further divert the thread.

Damned if I do and damned if I don't.

Thanks for your concern.

Tom.
