Your Magnets are too far away from the wires in the squirel cage motor. You need to get either bigger magnets or make rotor bigger to get magnets close to wores. make sure diodes are facing the correct way, just one can screw it all up.

@jjackdaddy56 If you looked at the dates I was working on this two years ago, I got it to work but never got more power out than in. I hope you can do better then I did. I have more of a construction back ground then electrical so have been more interested in learning about building an earth ship and off grid power source construction. Wind mill or water wheel. Good luck on your quest for knowledge. I learned alot building these models and hope to use what I learned in my life. Again good luck!

arent your magnets really friggen' tiny?

One easy way to deal with the wire is to pull an old alternator from a junkyard. All you have to do is remove the case and pull out the magnet shaft. The winding is mounted on a non-conductive frame that makes it a lot easier to mount for different projects.

Nice construction! How did you create those discs out of Perspex/Acrylic?

Thx. I think it is plexi glass. Some1 was giving it away so i took it. I used a 3 1/4 in hole cuter then a 2 1/2 for the inside hole. Then I used a 5/16 bit for the small holes. Next time i will use 3/8. They were the hardest parts for me. I used grafting paper to determine where to put the holes as shown in my earlier video. I am just learning. Videos from thedaftman are very good for someone trying to learn, as he is very good at explaining things.

Hi well done but I see you have only 4 diodes in your rectifier. You do need the 6 configuration to work correctly. Your gage of wire will work. How many terns do you have on each phase? Did you phase the turning of your wires to correspond with the orientation of you magnets?  Clockwise next anticlockwise then clockwise then back to anticlockwise? That would be 1 phase just repeat that 4 the next 2 phases.

Hi I have 6 diodes they just are not visible in the video. I only have 37 turns on ea coil, that is all that would fit with the heavy wire.

they are all anti-then clock then anti-then clock for 3 phases. Phase the turning of wires to correspond with magnetic orientation? That must be my problem I am not sure how to do that. Ive changed the cage so that the wooden dowels are out more

(even with the wires) and removed neos and put another bar magnet so the clearence is alot closer. low power
