You cats are sharply honed in your info, and the manner of voicing it. Thank you.
I just setup the 3 separate rectified version with two 10F 2.5 volt caps to directly lite 7 5mm white leds (1.2v at 60mah?).
Took forever to balance the load of the leds, and to fill out the s.caps-but one it did, it holds light like a battery with no flickering at all.
After the wheel stops, it illuminates for about two Minuit's solidly, then starts to decay smoothly.
The charge time makes their size kinda unfeasible unless I'm doing laps before I actually go on a ride, so I am wondering if half that farad rating might be better
in parallel (x2 5f at 2.5 volts)...
On the notion of connecting the two outside coils together am going to try that today and see the levels in comparison.
Even if there is a marginal increase, it seems worth it on such a simple setup.
Is it likely that with these two coils in series/phase I will see a raise in current or voltage (or both
)?
Also going back to the origins of this thread, I had a go at mounting a perpendicular generator on top of all these other bits, and it works with much success!
Actually, it outputs almost the exact same rating as the three coils circuit (in both current and voltage).
I will try and get a photo of it up today.
It might give me the ability to run a rear and front light on their own source. Convenient.
{its basically a very low ohm 24v output 4 phase centertap stepper motor. It is mounted on a L-bracket and the shaft has a
diametrically magnetized tube neo with two poles. Hello magnetic gearing!}
