Alternator for Small Prototype (VAWT)
« on: September 20, 2008, 07:28:56 AM »
Hi, I'm currently doing a VAWT prototype.


I'm happened to find these 2 alternators, but not sure which is better?

http://www.windbluepower.com/DC_540_Low_Wind_Permanent_Magnet_Alternator_p/dc-540.htm


the dimension of the Savonius turbine, height is 0.8m and width is 0.43m


My system require a low starting torque and low friction alternator. Previously, I've purchased one from http://energistar.com, but the performance was far from the information given.


I hope the alternator able to generate 12V and more than 1 or 2Ampere at low rpm, and low torque required. Any better suggestion than these 2 alternators are welcomed.


or something like this, http://www.gotwind.org/diy/Axial_Flux_Alternator.htm


Any idea??



Already has this going in another thread. Should discuss it there.
