Hi guys and ladies , I thought I would take my newer type windmill,71 turns,
big wire,about the size of a pencil lead, also, this time I tried putting cut pieces of rubber hose and placing them inside the coils,fill it up with poyester resin and polyester cloth ,then after it hardened I cut the rubber hose out and this may help with ventilation and cooling.... Hooked it all up to the truck and said " Come on Hon, let's go for a drive.."There is not much of any brake left on the truck and the speedo doesn't work . We got going to what I thought was about 30 MPH when I heard...bang , bang, bang!!!
I couldn't get a real good reading because it was dark, then I heard that bang again.....bang, bang, bang!!!!I knew there was a steep hill coming up and I could slow it down and get it in park.... I let it coast to a stop and grinded it into park.
Looked up at the wife on the back of the truck , yes ,that was her banging....she wanted to get in the cab with me. Her face and hands were pretty cold and she held them over the heater for a while...as mad and cold as she was , her first words she muttered were.." How many watts did it put out?"I told her I couldn't see the gauge.
On the way back...she used her trusty bic lighter and said it was cranking around 400.
I hope the hose between the coils helps someone ,it does not make the stator any weaker, the wire inside acts like rebar,course all you guys know that!
