  With 520' of wire per phase your limited to 6 amps and I   don't think you'll be happy with 18 amps from that machine jerry  phased (If you coped out a neutral) . If you could cope out the interconnects you could mix and match single phase and have a respectable 50 plus amps in good wind . That's the only real option at 130 ' per coil.  The resistance is s probably the reason for low amperage you sinking the power through 1000 feet of wire that's with 600 360 degree turns you would want to derate the power starting at 200 feet.

I see you may have used 12 That really isn't going to help much with the 3phase star the resistance is too great.

  There are some proven guidelines to help design an efficient axial machine for battery charging. I am a firm believer in not re-inventing the wheel if you want to duplicate what has been documented. If that's what you are expecting for output and it's not the same then yes there seems to be something different from your set up from what you wanted to copy.

  Check your open volts each phase, are they the same say for 60 RPM ? (pretty easy to click off that count rather close) Be sure to be ready to short the output to slow /stop the alternator. Touble shoot from there so you are positive what you are working with before rectifying and adding the load. Again, your system may not be "bad" at all but just different from what you were expecting based on other's.

  If you have a sound 3 phase alternator outputting 3 seperate phases at approximately the same voltage per phase per rpm then I say learn what you do have and work with it before making any radical changes. There is no right or wrong if it works well for you. Keep us posted so we can all learn besides.  Dave B.
