How to Cast the Stator of an Axial Flux Alternator for a diy wind turbine

[MrMohamed3417]

you're awesome man

this what i am searching for

[ErwinAll]

Excellent Video!

Just a small question. I read that when curing it gets really hot, is this true?

If so does it damage your coils?

I am building my own stator, just need to find the right kind of statorresin in my area.

[wind2volts]

@ErwinAll Thank you, No, it does not get really hot and does not damage the coils. There are no issues in regards to this at all.

[harleyghost]

Have you tried layering the magnets and the coils to increase the wattage output?

[wind2volts]

@harleyghost Great question! You can certainly build more powerful alternators by adding more magnets, more coils, Stacking them...etc. But in order to increase the wattage output...you have to increase the INPUT...a bigger alternator will not make more wattage.....the INPUT will make more wattage...a bigger alternator can handle it more efficiently. For this size turbine, this is a pretty darn powerful alternator to start with...and if they are too powerful, They will stall the turbine.

This video is amazing. Thank you.

Thanks for sharing. This will definately make a wonderfull summer project.

[FenrirWolfe1]

Greetings. Great video. I was just wondering.. What kind of tape and car wax do you use?

[Animeabe]

great video! very informative.

[taur561]

Great and informative video. Just one question. How many turns did you wind each coil ?.

[DEWessonsax]

After removing your stator from the mold, you have a piece of paper stating "60 turns, 2 X 18 ga. Question is, to clarify, are you saying you are using 2 wires of 18 ga with and if so, what is end sum, 15 ga? I am assuming you are doing so to get more wire in the alotted space. Lastly, again I assume you are casting in resin to proof, from moisture etc, but does that not restrict cooling ability? Thanks, and a great vid.

That stator was sexy

[yet2banswered]

This is a great tutorial. I have a question. What type of wire should be used from the terminal buttons to the ac/dc rectifiers and to the batteries?

[4245047]

Thank you very much.

[leonscorpio19]

This was awesome.. I didn't want it to finish. Thanks for the great tips.

[eloid777]

have questions

On how you wire the stator to the rectifiers, can you make a video or explain the steps? other wise great videos

[indiankite]

Excellent video! I'm planning on building a couple of wind generators and you have provided me with a lot of info. What determines your stator to be a 12v, 24v or 48v? Can you please explain.

[philipx2]

Epoxy Resin would be a lot simpler to mix and use than the fiberglass....

[FatherOfTheParty]

Excellent video!

[YoLninYo]

This is an awesome tutorial, I'd give it more likes if I could!!

[sdu03756]

I have a question, why there are three brass button, if each roll connect together , number 0ne connect to number two, two to three...... it should end up only two left , why three ?? thank you for sharing with us .

[homebuiltindoorplane]

really good wow!

[FridaySternShow]

good idea on the car wax

[whtrepblcn]

Forgot to mention: Rob at WindGenKits is very helpful, and parts fit perfectly. Thanks guys. Great design.

[whtrepblcn]

I'm building this, as well. The wing kits are perfectly laser cut. I'll be casting my stator today. Had to view this one more time. Great vids guys. Keep it up!!!

[joeusa1776]

Yep!!

Ditto from me too! I bought the wings, bearings, arms, magnets, wire and supplies from these folks last summer. I was totally impressed when it arrived. The lazered parts fit like a glove.

I haven't finished it yet...but have found these folks are great to do biz with.

Some of the best videos on the web to.

[fred30680]

Great videos !!!

All this is new to be and this may sound silly but how many watts does this unit put out. How do this work ?

[soulmj1]

It is for a power of how much?

[vilsonboone]

great! this explain all my questions!! thanks a lot!

[melecio1]

thanks for helping us to learn something usefull

[youngms44]

EXCELLENT tutorial Video Keep up the great work if only half the Videos on youtube where this good you wouldn't have to wade through so much garbage. I will be purchasing my material from your site for my project.

[wind2volts]

Thank you very much!

[gsw999]

brilliant vids keep up the good work , I am well and truly inspired.

[jeanlucvar]

Wow, Excellent video, very clean work. Congratulations

[skylover7]

i have a ? is it better to have more amps or more volts for a genorator

[wind2volts]

My first thought is that you want POWER.

POWER(Watts) = Volts X AMPS

[beast1379]

@wind2volts but the more amps the thicker the cables must be right? so volts are better in my opinion.

[JOHNSONJASONM]

Awesome video! When can we expect to see the how to video's for the rotors?

[mostangrypirate]

thank you!! that was one more piece of knowledge. 5*

couple more pieces of info and I'll have me some wind energy.

[yanyoulen]

WELL DONE, GREAT VIDEO

[insAneTunA]

Awesome video, thank you very much for sharing this.
