| Here goes, folks. I just ordered a spool of 30ga magnet wire and 14 half inch X quarter inch disc magnets for my ceiling fan genny.
I just need to ask, how many turns do you all think I should put in each of the 14 coils? And should I wire them opposite each other and place the magnets alternating as well? That was what I was thinking. Set it all up in parallel so that each of the coils will add its current to all the others.
For those that don't remember, I took apart an old ceiling fan. It had 14 outer and 14 inner coils. Well, I took the wire off and am looking into how to drill out the laminate rotor so that I can sink the magnets into it. Will this work or am I thinking wrong? Steel backing/surrounding for the magnets to channel the flux? Or am I going the wrong route? With the steel backing, will I need to run it with all the magnets facing the same way now?
I just realised with all my questions maybe I'm digging in a little too deep.... :)
But I'm going to give it a try anyways.
Maybe I'll just try it all different ways until something works!! LOL |
