AXIAL FLUX ALTERNATOR Saw Blade GENERATOR Hard Drive Coil Winding Permanent Magnet

[josephdupont]

Your an amazing guy... I like the idea of using pvc as a shaft..

[samuelpen100]

if you want people to say good job, hook up ac unit 110 volt make that run off of you little thing! not trying to make you mad but do someing useful.

[lad18913290]

a lot of volts coming from that little coil - great demo!

[TheJimmax]

nice video dan but i wish you were more safety conscious its no surprise that you keep hurting your hands!

[enticed2zeitgeist]

Are the axial flux alternators better than the normal kind (what is the normal kind anyhow?)

Would this also function as a motor? Where do you get spools of copper wire?

[carambatsr]

Excellent video Dan! Quick 'n easy projects like this stimulate couch potatos like me to go out and try it. Then I have the enthusiasm to to ramp it up and do something more practical. Thanks

[GREENPOWERSCIENCE]

@carambatsr :-) Thank you for the great comment.

[TheEXTRAtesco]

one time i thought that the hard drive magnets I had were riveted but it was just the magnets were so strong

[Iseekoutthetruth]

do you know anything about michro phonic capacitors? how they can receive a 3 to 4 volt charge just from vibrations or sound.

[manofreedom]

Dan, check out magnetic levetation and mendocino motors. My thoughts are of taking the concept you have here and adding it to the near frictionless perpetual motion bar of magnetic levetation that is driven by power derived from solar cells and using it to generate electricity. It seems so simple that it would probably work. Just look at mendocino motors and you'll quickly grasp what I mean.

So this would be a BETTER alternator for a bicycle or something? Two things have always deterred me from doing a project like this on my bicycle:

1. the weight of most alternators are too much.

2. way too much energy would be taken out of my bicycle's momentum by the mechanical resistance/friction of the alternator.

Your alternator solves problem 1 but are the magnets so strong that they'll create a mechanical resistance/friction that will slow my poor little bicycle down? Thanks ^_^

wat is this some kind of ingine?

[JahrunChilamBalam]

Most of these videos are less than trivial and often pointless to doing anything professional or practical. You can really do better Dan...

[syndrome95]

@JahrunChilamBalam - I have to agree with you. Some of Dans experiments can be interesting. But it would be nice to see a proper finished job now and then. Something in daily use in his house or workshop that actually makes life easier or saves lots of money.

Great video

[emagnets]

nice Start Dan.

Trust Me it is few more steps to get what you need for your turbine.

it is great littile series of vids to show the concept.

Dan, i have a playlist that show how i did mine from start to finish.

good work

@emagnets Very nice work on your channel Sam!

[threeredstars]

@GREENPOWERSCIENCE hey Dan, in a previous vid you had a bilge fan and I was wondering if it would run on one of those 45 w harbor freight solar pannel set ups?

[GREENPOWERSCIENCE]

@threeredstars Yes, all three are need for max power.

[emagnets]

nice Start Dan.

@seriouslyWeird Couldn't have phrased it better myself. GET OUT FAGS!

[GameOver1260]

Fascinating stuff. The most fascinating stuff I ever saw was GREEN NUCLEAR, where the nuclear fissionable material was encased in little green golf ball shapes so that they could be used in variable amounts to heat the water. You could hold one in your hand, but a pool ful...

[thefoxdude]

Dan, how is your finger doing?

[ronaldoelpaso]

i can produce a million volts from a hearing aid battery..

[ronaldoelpaso]

how much current did that do? you only mentioned volts.

[oisiaa]

What kind of hard drive is that? That thing is a beast!

[nephozo]

thanks! :)

[RedMarineNex]

Sorry to nitpick, but the Amp is a measure of current, not Amperage. Couple of questions.

1. Do you know what current you were getting out of that coil?

2. Do you know the RPM it was spinning at for the 9V?

Thanks, and look forward to the stator video!

[sjh7132]

@RedMarineNex

1) He was getting no current or only microamps because the load was a volt meter.

[Robonza]

Cool stuff. You have made a core-less alternator. Voice coils are great in the fact that you get no cogging, but without a core you will not be able to pull much energy out of the system. Oh yeah, as far as I know neodymium magnets are quite toxic once the surface is broken.

[trailkeeper]

On that hard-drive construction, it also look like the magnetic flux field will pass through the screws and then back to the outside of each magnet. This probably increases the field through the coil. I have a drawing/vid up about this idea, but the wires of the coil have to go through the axis of rotation so they don't get broken.

[badamson10]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I appreciate your zest for innovation and experimentation. Keep it up!

[snoopdog68]

dan buy a lathe, i got one 5 years ago for $1,000

[WambliPeta]

Pretty slick Dan! Hey, watch those fingers now! ;-) Now we need to get Muddy to put something like that in a wind generator. Maybe 5 or 6 back to back 8-)

[Greatbloke]

Enjoying your videos.............

[IlMaXo13]

eres re pendejo jaja!

[JULYINJULY]

Saw blades and hard drive parts to make a generator, my MacGyver hero:-)

[stormcrow2525]

Love your videos. I'll bet the manager at the Home Depot by your house cheers out loud when he sees your car coming in the lot. :)

[cyclenut]

I parted out lots of server hard drives.. They are most likely just held by the magnetic force..

Those magnets are great for holding calendars on the fredge....

One day, I want to figure out and build a generator with all the magnets I have..

[jarro221]

@GREENPOWERSCIENCE

Nice one Dan. I wonder, how much power You can get out of it with a proper set of coils?

[MrROTD]

What do think about the Idea of magnetic brakes? do you know of any examples? I figure magnetic brakes would last forever and be easier to control the braking force. I'm sure someone thought of it already though.

[RESET1776]

Good stuff, I was just pulling a drive apart to get the magnets. I use to work at the factory where we made the arms that read the disc. 12 hours a day of micro welding and inspecting with microscopes. Talk about fun........ Do you have a trick to keep the magnets from breaking? I had one snap onto the other hard enough that it cracked. Now it's falling apart.

[GREENPOWERSCIENCE]

@RESET1776 Sounds like a fun job:-) If it is a clean break, you can use super glue. Wear goggles as it will splash when they click. Also wear gloves. The repaired magnet is not as strong.

[norxcontacts]

Can you make that to charge the drill?

[frankcoffee]

Is there any other material on Earth that can produce a current when a magnetic field is passed over it?

[neiscius]

That was the Hellz Angels on their way to Arizona to tell Westboro Baptist Church douches to stfu and gtfo.

[ShowinYaHow]

Why couldn't this be used on a tire assembly on a car?

[rocklayer2]

nice job Dan!!!

[wwlegomaster]

Your videos are awesome!

[wwlegomaster]

Awesome man 1st!
