| Hello, I am very new to this but it has stirred a great deal of interest in me. I have some questions that I need help with. I have no experience in these things so I am pretty much going to attempt to just stumble my way through. My question is about coil size vs. magnet size. I have been looking at the otherpower.com site and I wish to build a very small version of either the homebrew windmills or the wooden alternator or... something in between, if that's possible. If I used 10mm neo mags, how should I design the coils? Should the coils be larger than the magnet faces? Should they be made of smaller wire with more wraps or will less wraps of larger wire work as well?
The 10mm neo mags may not be what I use. I have not obtained the magnets to do this with yet so I am open to other magnets although price means everything to me at this point. I realize that you guys are not going to give a newbie a complete crash course on coil construction but the answers to the few questions here will really help. |
