Hi guys, this is the first time that I have tried to submit a posting with pictures, so hope everything works ok. The following pictures are of a 3 phase duel rotor, made from the front wheel assy. of a 1989 ford two wheel drive. I have machined both ends of the hub, to receive two flanges that were also machined, that have the bolt pattern of the two rotors that are from the front of a 1999,ford 4 wheel drive. The magnets are the 2" X 1/2" discs, 12 on each rotor. the stator is of 9 coils using 36 turns of double strands of # 15 magnet wire. The props are made from basswood, at a 12 foot Dia. The furling system is made using a double acting small hyd. cylinder, with a 1/4" hose runing from one port to the other. this acts as a shock absorber by leting the flud flow back and forth between ports. I have also added a spring on each side of the cylinder, so as to be able to adjust the time I want the mill to furl. I have it set to furl a 60 amps DC. I have to say, that it works flawless. It tilts back and forth very smoothly, with no slaming or swinging back and forth. The tail probley dose not need to be so big, but I wanted the weight to be equal over the swing bering, and I also beleive that it helps to keep it into the wind while it is furled. I have it mounted on a 60 foot tower, and it seems to always put out some power. It will do 60 amps in 20 mile wind. I couldnt be more happy with it. My knowage in electronics is very limited, so I thank all you guys on this site, for explaining everything over and over for us that are trying to learn, and I need to give special thanks to Dan B. for all the help he has given me in the past. I have alot more pictures of the construction of this mill, if anyone is interested. If so, I will send them your way.Thanks again for helping me get into this great project.
