expert opinion
« on: June 07, 2011, 02:07:40 PM »
Hello friends!
I have a question about the stator. Following are the description of my rotor.
1: 12inch diameter of rotor plate 12 N42 2in length 1in widths ¼ thick.
2: 12 neo magnets (I don't know about grade) 2in long 1.2inch width 10mm thick other side of rotor.
3: I have #22, #18, #16 gauge wire.

I made my test coil with all of them
360 turns per coil with #22 = 2.5vac, resistance of coil is 1.9ohm.
205 turns per coil with #18 = 2vac, resistance of coil is 1.5ohm.
106 turns per coil with #16 = 1.5vac resistance of coil is 1ohm

I want to make more than 500 watt wind turbine @ 150 rpm cut-in rpm round about 180.
Please suggest me a perfect gauge wire for amps and number of turns for volts.  Estimate for me what I should need to do with them to make a turbine

The 16 gauge would be about right .for a 200rpm cut in. and 7ft blade.You would need larger mags to go bigger.

What speed did you use to get your test coil results?  It is not obvious from your post so I don't want to jump to conclusions.

Air gap ?
Coil thickens ?

One thing is clear you need #16 wire two in hand if you are able to reach 40A with magnets you haw.
