120 Volt Axial Generator
« on: February 04, 2008, 06:42:23 PM »
I am trying to build a 120 V Axial flux generator using 12 2"x1"x .5" N40 magnets and 2 brake disk rotors.  One for the magnets and one to help increase the flux through the stator.  Both will rotate.  I am more curious what kind of windings I will need.  Will 200 turns of 16AWG work?  and what wiring will allow for the most voltage.  I am hoping for an output of 1000w.  so about 9 amps at 120V.  any ideas or suggestions are greatly appreciated.  I am looking to buy some magnet wire so i can get started.

Thanks,

Micah


Micah; As flux said in the one post that got in before i saw it, you need to give us lots of information. Exact planned use, what will drive it what RPM, etc. Please repost when you can provide all details. I mean all. Not even flux can read minds. Comments disabled.

No chance of helping you with no information.


What is it for, ac, rectified for battery charging. What speed does it run at.


If this is for wind you will not get 1kW from 12 magnets if it is driven by something much faster then possibly, but pushing it.
