| Greetings from Estonia.
This story is about making something usable from scrap.
First I made magnet rotors from old microwaves and used car disc brakes.
More than 12 microwawes needed because all magnets are not same size.
Second - I made 3 phase stator from used magnet wire. That's why all windings isn't same size (old lacquer issue). 0.6 mm wire diametre and 400 w every winding. This must give out HIGH voltage. But not, because microwawe magnets are quite weak.
This combination of almost 3 kg. free copper has complete circuit. Definetely not optimal. That's why I left all wire ends outside for future possibilities.
No need to make new mold.
Here it goes.
Next day it looks like this:
One good friend helped me with weldings. I am not so good on it.
Here it is on test stand. Of couse it's working. Only with one rotor I measured 50V maximum speed (900rpm) cordless drill and 80V two rotors connected open circuit. Cordless drill was too weak for measuring shorted circuit current, more than 1A seen.
On last picture You can see new polar mount stand on my basement roof. Temporary satellite dish installed on it for perfect aligning. In future solar panels or solar consentrator will sit on it.
But it was good for watching unusual satellites too. 90E YAMAL is most east satellite we can see. Pitch angle 1 degree, almost parallel to earth surfice. I was able to see Russian channels from Vladivastok - time difference 8 houres. Always first morning news on this channel when I went to bed.
BR,
Margus
