Can anyone help direct me to a starting point for a small Axial Flux alternator - low power.
I am designing a vertical axis wind turbine for low power. Most reference designs I have found are much higher power.
Design RPM = 120 RPM
Desired Power is approximately 45 watts.
Would like to build 3-Phase machine.
Can you help with a guess at:
Number of Magnets?
Power/Size/Part number of Magnets?
Number of Coils?
Number of turns
Wire gage
Rotor diameters
Rotor thicknesses
Rotor materials
Is there a resource where I can learn how to size this?
Sorry if this is a stupid question. Thank you for your help.
All this theoretical VAWT bull$#|+ is getting old.
Read the damned board.
