Heres a picture of the genny in the tunnel.
The blades started to spin at 5 mph. I saw a small amount of amperage start at 7 mph.
This is a 24 volt unit so I added a 12 volt Optima to ther exsisting 12 volt bank.
I wanted to compair this small 8 inch duel rotor to Hughs larger 9 inch single rotor.
Hughs alt also has much larger magnets. However this 8" is the duel 12 magnet 9 coil arangement while Hughs is 8 magnets single rotor and 6 coil stator arangement.
To compair the units I found 11.4 mph was a consistant speed with enough time for both units.
Hughs did 2.25 amps at 12.024 volts for 27.054 watts.
The littel yellow 8" did 2.13 amps at 24.84 volt for 52.909 watts. Same blade on both machines.
BTW the 8" is wired Jerry Rigged with 9 each 6 amp fullwave bridges. Each coil has its own bridge and each coil has many turns of very fine wire.
There is a story on this littel unit during a big NW wind storm in my diary.
I'm still wiating for the oficial 4ft Hugh blades so I can test his unit with the recamended blades.
My cabinet maker is building the blades.
So far this unit is out preforming the Garbogen.
I'll be biulding more of these littel guys. I'm acctully gathering the parts for a 14-11 NEO. The 14-11 worked so well in ceramic I'm sure it will be awsum in NEO. No iron in the coils on this one though and a much bigger blade ofcource.
