hello all !
i,m wondering about a possible wiring idea for a single phase stator ,its a 7 coil stator with 14 mags (odd i know ! lets just say it evolved that way !) each coil
has 150 turns and when i parallel the 7 coils into a bridge rectifier its usable (i hope) to charge my bat ,this will save running 14 wires down the mast to 7 individual bridge rectifiers ....would it be better to treat the 7 coils like a "three phase" system ,each coil would have one leg connected to a centre tap , the other leg would pass to 2 diodes (like in a 3 phase rectifier)...would the currents should now add up ? 2 diodes should also have half the voltage drop of the bridge type ?....my arm got sore spinning the thing so a little extra voltage would help!
