I'm from Peru, South America, I've read and learned a lot from this forum. I decided to build my first wind generator. No problems with the blades, they are 1m each (2m diameter rotor), I try them without load and work fine, very happy when I saw running so fast. But with the alternator, is anoother story, is very hard to get the magnets here in Peru, so I used HD magnets, I broke them in 2 pieces in order to have one pole. The problem is that nopw I have very little magntes. My winds are #21 wire and 160 turns, I expect to obtain al least 12V to charge a battery.
Any suggestions or comments to get the most power from this configuration?.
Blades without alternator, just a test, I can´t see the blades when running.
Double rotor with 16 poles
My wind former
12 winds, #21 wire, 160 turns
Thanks for everyone
