Hi,  Now that have first winmill in the bag now what to look at something a little more homemade.  Has any one have info or how to figure out what size of wire and magnets blades like this ?

O:IT&ih=006


Want to start out small and then work up to a big one someday.


Want it to be DC and volts around 48.  On last windy day blades were some were around 1100 rpm.


So around 500 to 1000 rpm would be great and the blades are 30 from center of hub.


Tower is 10 feet now would like to get to 20.


Think it would be fun to make own stator for blades have a bunch of them and could do a 12 blade hub if needed.


Here is a Link to my first windmill and start of solar charger

No idea what the tsr of AirX blades is. Without this any useful advice would be difficult.


You will not even approach the claimed output of the AirX but you might get something that does better in the region below 25mph. You will need to limit power in some way such as furling otherwise you aren't going to be able to control it.


I am not convinced that the AirX blades are going to be particularly good in the low wind region and they wouldn't be my choice but if you have them it's worth a try.
