I took a look in the FAQs section. I didn't see anything about building 3:4 alternators. Instead of criticizing me why don't you people put together a FAQ section to help newbies design and build their alternators. As far as my comments are concerned, they are true to the best of my knowledge, whether you like it or not. If you can show that I'm in error, fine, otherwise keep your peace. Just disparaging something because it's new serves no useful purpose. My thinking also evolves over time, and I have concluded the most realistic test of the two designs would be to use the same number of identical magnets and the same operational resistance, which means for my 3:2 design that the wire be three times greater in cross sectional area. This means one third the windings per coil, but keeping the coil dimensions the same. Why? With the 3:4 design the resistance of two thirds of the coils is seen, while with my design having twice the total number of coils, the resistance of all the coils is seen. So, with one third the number of windings per coil, twice the number of active coils, and twice the rotor diameter there is a good chance my design will show a greater voltage for a given rpm. The cost of the two alternators will be nearly the same. Anybody care to try it?
