hughs 12' machine 48v

[montaguema]

im ready to build the stator for hughs 12' machine @

what should the wire size be and the # of turns be for a cut in speed of around 7 mph

for 48v and what is the current recipie for casting

also...

a couple of mods

this hub is a late model either ford or chevy, i dont rember,front 4wd, 6 lug hub, $50.00 @the bone yard, bolted onto a channel and tacked onto an offset pipe

possibly something for the 20' machine

does anybody have the specs for that one

the wire hanging is a sensor for the abs

3 of six studs are shown

the disks were water cut $90.00

the stainless bands are welded to the disks and have lots and lots of tiny tacks and ark strikes that i will buff out

all stainless hardware

i hope you guys like the pics

If the rotor disks are 14 inch and the magnets are 2" x 1" x 1/2" N42 and the blades are as per my 2005 plans then I now recommend using 90 turns per coil.  Wire size is 15 gauge.  Nowadays I am actually recommending a larger magnet rotor and faster blades for that size turbine.

I have just finished my 2008 plans which is a recipe book of different size turbines. The snag is that it is all in metric sizes and the magnets are 46 x 30 x 10 mm and everything is in mm.  It was just too much for me to do English units along with all the different size turbines and different voltages etc.  But I do plan to make another edition before too long, with suitable dimensions for the US reader.

have fun

faster blades, would that be smaller?

Hay Hugh, looking forward to the 2k8 plans.

Will the Dans get a copy ?  Where can we get them ?

I'm happy to review ;o)...

Aa in BC...
