I wish you could post pictures of your setup. It's always neat to see what other off gridders have come up with for solutions.
wow, please allow me to be soo ignorant/blunt and yet soo intrigued.
please get me up to speed? top speed even if you will
I would like to learn more af what it is you are talking about here.
{1}So are you somehow showing evidence of what my gut has been telling me that this omnicalulator is not entirely accurate?
My lord do I want to get to the bottom of this {/1}
{2}when i search for The Idaho Black Hawk tilt rotor. I get cool yet non related stuff
same goes for ANEW in Poland
yes Single Wing Energy oy I can find. yet now I have to plow through. hmm I really do not want to do that yet.
I am here to help and learn not to start a new study
Can you please help me get going?

There are 2 hots and a neutral feeding the breaker panel box which come out the wall where I had an old generator feeding power.. Those are the wires I need to somehow connect both generators to and be able to switch ti either the 240v or 120v generator.Any switch sold as a transfer switch could certainly be hooked on these wires and do what you are thinking. I think your plan for the welder cord makes sense too.
Hey, I am trying to hook up a 240v generator and a 120V generator to power a breaker panel box which will then send the power to the house. I want to be able to use a switch to decide which generator I am going to use. I wish I could upload a picture so I can show what I am trying to do, it would be much easier to understand.
I have been attempting to optimize the amount of voltage that can be generated from a CD Wind Turbine with a Lasko 20-inch 3-Speed Box Fan to spin the blades on all three speed settings. The blades that I am currently using are 13.5 cm long, and 4 cm at the base and 2.5 cm at the tip, with a very small curve (around 1-5 degrees). So far, I have managed to generate the greatest amount of voltage (around 2.5 volts) with a two blade setup.
From here, is there anything I could do to improve the design of the airfoil to generate more voltage? I know that longer blades tend to perform better than shorter ones (I'm planning to increase the length of the blades to around 17.5 cm for the next design), but how should I change the width and/or the curve of the blade for better performance on all three voltages?
Ok Sir,
Please see if I am following your lead well enough of that I need to make changes.
I have the gravity torque setup ready now. I think.

And this time I will test the failed 6 coil stacked 3 phase arrangement.
It failed because the coils moved during the curing so now there is no longer a perfect 1.25 degree of separation between each phase.
Also this test is too thick and too heavy and also just not homogeneous enough.
Nah I will do it much better next try.
{1}Also a single coil of 300 winds at 0.4mm is 92 grams net. So excluding any resin around it.{1}
(Attachment Link)Can you please elaborate a bit on what is OD and ID.
And what is it I am testing for again?
In my previous thread you mentioned we are looking for the sweet spot for how much mechanical resistance the coils can provide to the magnets to produce amperage or something to that extend.
Is this still related?
The point is to find the optimal inner and outer diameter and thickness of a coil that provides the most resistance.
The problem is, the magnet's radius is also a variable. You cant have the magnets too far apart, because when you connect all the coils together, the current is flowing through other coils which are not producing voltage.. so ideally you need 3 test coils, connected in Y, but shorted. Or perhaps better, rectify the test coils and short the rectifier.
So you want to keep your magnet and coil ratio, and magnet spacing (both are variables you can change) such that you ether get a clean sine wave, or a trapezoid, but if your magnets are too far apart, you get a sine wave ish pulse, followed by dead space, then a pulse of the opposite polarity, and this will be worse.. unless you rectify every coil separately.

I'm a bit concerned about this. Is the resin actually bending when the magnets swing by it? That could mean a few things.
hahha well that flew back in my face like a boomerang as the iron powdered coil slab kept bending. who would have ever thought that 4.5mm of iron powder filled resin is not rigid enough to not bend with these kinds of fields around them ?
So I really have to extend the process now. Going to fill up both coils to 15mm in thickness and then finally be able to make some sense of this iron powder use.
Ive been following your other blog updates. I think 0 is go.
I would like to get notifications again of when I get feed backback on my content. Just like it has been for quite a while before.Emails aren't working either, most likely.
Am I unaware of some kind of setting change that I really should be of?
The calculations of the output have been reviewed because I took a too high peak power of a solar panel size 1 * 1.65 m. The peak power is reduced from 400 W up to 300 W.
Dear Adriaan,
So in general; if one has far too much power generated by the solar panels oriented in a east-west back to back setup in summer times. with as goal generating as much as possible during winter times.
even after you have refined your study a bit based on the new peak values.
Would you still conclude that an optimal south facing orientation of the panels, even though now needing more spacing between rows, will benefit the power generation during winter times?
If that is the case then I need to find some new and inventive ways to reposition more than 22 panels as my roof is already maxed out (I now have 44 panels in a east-west back to back configuration)
One thing I have been considering is to have floating arrays of panels. But especially during winter time the sun is rather low so I will need to have them float outside of my property to have full sun. But I guess no one minds as then we have little to no boating activity during those times anyway. But then that damned freezing that could happen. Now I have to think of a raft type that can deal with that.
{1}reason I ask is because I am trying to transition away from grid connected as even though netmetering has been extended for some time by our government again. electrical utility providers are actively trying to circumvent the loss of revenue by employing really nasty tricks like for people with smart meters. Some if not most of them are now being taken from behind by now netmetering will be done on a monthly basis rather than annually.
I am ecstatic I have always resisted the installation of a smart meter. And please believe me they tried! hard!!{/1}
