just another ongoing adventure...
stator[1/2"][star] made with insulated wire[don"t tell me i know]-100 turns- one coil mag wire..you can see the diffrense..[ran out of insulated wire]
one rotor powered by double stacked neo"s-next by double stacked ceramics -wraped with nylon tape..[keeps them from going south] ;}
60 open volts when powered by a hand drill.
turned out nice and lite-burned out a couple of headlites on my first test-trigger happy..will try the blades[8ft sweep] from my 12"rotor alt on it--just make a adapter to fit the shaft-3/4" down to 5/8"s[nylon tape.why not]--the holes in the coils were made for the neo"s--kinda small for the ceramics,--when i first built this it was powered by ceramics 12 and 12..
it does turn a little harder by hand now with the neo"s--i guess the real test will come when i get it up and flying..my drill just dosen"t have the guts past 12amps..
thats what it shows with the alt shorted to a auto amp meter..[drill slows way down]
the 12" alt in the background still has more power-48 double stacked ceramic mags.
starts up at a lower speed even thou it has only 87 winds per coil-and more amps -thicker wire..but its heavy-needs some kind of yawn bearing[hard to track the wind]
or just get a bigger pipe to mount over the mast instead of in side the mast..ps: used two saw blades for each rotor..still a small amout of magnatizem on back side. guess it would have helped to have a picture of it. with both rotors on........thats later.
more updates ---------------------later.
