I had an old 4 pole 5/8hp induction motor I had put 4 #29 curved neo's in a while back. I finally took it apart & did my first rewind ,of course if not for ready Zubbly's posts last year I would not have a clue.
Hears the rewind it's a 36 slot motor I went with 3 phase 6 pole -22 windings of #17 wire per coil.
The stator
The rotor
I had 6 foot blades that fell off a table last year , I will convert it to a 2 blader....
Also working on a 40 to 45 foot tower(Finally....)
Here is my old 11 foot dual rotor apart after over a year
based mainly on hugh's plans(thank you sir)
I had 1 burnt coil but I knew I had exceeded the limits a few times(unit still worked though..
This was the school project I did last year, it sat in front of a big industrial fan & had a 12 volt drill battery inside when the fan turned the "baby mill" the volt meter would go up, on the back there was a cooling fan that when turned on would show the change in the amps going into the battery with a small digital amp meter
Here is the start of a new dual rotor for my 11 footer, I am also thinking of trying one with the same round magnets dan is using know as I already have the steel plates & the stator mould
Hope everyone is having fun with wind. Should I be deleting old pictures out of my files once in a while? is there a limit?
Does this site except donations like others? I never see a thread for it...
Have fun all,I'll post the results of the reound 5/8 hp soon
