12 volt 10 footer

[harley8989]

this is a simple ouestion yes im a newby but i have everything done on a ten footer,,,it says wind two stands of 14 gauge wire for the coils ,,,,now can one full new spool of wire be enough for this @ 110 bucks   too do the 9 coils

[just-doug]

i think that is supposed to take 6 pounds of copper if i remember right.how many pounds are on your roll?

[harley8989]

a new 10 pound spool it seem silly now i have too slit this in half? on too too spools then do the coils? correct is this enough wire? very simple question,,,but i really dont want too spend 220 dallors on too 10 pound spools       get me?

You can spinoff half the wire in a couple of minutes with a drill

ok i have all my metal work done...im using 11 inch rotors (car) and they are lathed all the way but too the very edge 1/8 my question for a 12 volt 10 foot machine with 14 guage two strands in had how many truns per coil do i wind the coils using n 42 1 bye 2 inch bye half inch magnets.

[fabricator]

Are you using one of the plans? Hughs or Dans? If not you are gonna have to wind a test coil to come up with your desired voltage at cut in.

[harley8989]

yes im using dans plan a olderone on this sight where he used the big 2 inch round magnets on 11 inch rotors the only thing im changeing is the magnet size tho the 1 bye 2 bye half inch he states that the magnets where a bit too stong and would stall the blades so my question is do i stay with the trunns on the coils with 14 gauge two in hand this is my qouestion?

    Go to other power.com and search for 10 ft turbine.

   It shows 36 turns with 2. 1/2. 1 .mags

It will need some BIG wire running to the battery bank.

another concern is fitting the coils in the stator with the coil holes lined up over the magnets travel path.the mags u are using are usually used on 12inch rotors.when u use 11 inch rotors,everything has to move in toward the center,including the coils.you may need to wegde shape the coils abit to get a good fit.you sure dont want to wind all the coils and find out they dont fit and need to be rewinded more wedge shaped.
