hydro and honda
« on: May 18, 2005, 04:55:00 PM »
A friend of my say the cross flow turbine I was making on a cnc mill and suggested using a harley rotor/stator combo for power generation. Has any one done this. It seems like it is just a radial flux instead of an axial flux.  Any one tried it?

I have not tried it myself, but it was suggested to me also, I did a little searcing and found  this http://www.dangerouslaboratories.org/altp1.html , I decided not to go this route because I wanted lower Rpms

Mark:


Your question is limited, you need to define what the Banki can produce and the RPM, then I can tell you what would be the best generator for your project.

So please inform about the water volume, the head the diameter for the Banki and what is the RPM you are designing for.


Alternators for cars or motorcycles are designed for high RPM, a Banki is designed, generally, for low RPM,

turbine is 2 inches wide and 12.27 inches in diameter  turns at 220 rpm

supply is a spring that runs at about 120 gpm.

fall is 17 feet  supply pipe is 2 inch plastic


the honda rotor and stator I have are supposed to run about 800 rpm. I will use a 5 1/4 inch pulley on the water wheel and a 2 inch pull on the generator. then we'll go from there.
