Another good Idea is to add another phase or two, Not only does it give you more energy but it also makes the AC current smoother if aligned properly, even with the rectifier it was pulsating etc, you could also add a smoothing capacitor. hope that helped in any way. nice job!
May consult you a question I very want to make one to play with your same thing have a look But did not know you how the enamel-insulated wire does have to meet May teach me May give me the correct wiring diagram
You should make the magnets more outwards towards the center of the coils. But my questions is size dimensions of magnets and wire size and how many turns?
@Mrinfoone i can't remember the exact size of the magnets, near to the end of the video i am holding them up next to a measuring tape. The coils are 50 turns each, 23 gauge. All the material used was just random stuff i had laying around my workshop.
See now that's impressive. A very good video, explains exactly how the generator works! I noticed in the video the magnets are labeled north and south. My general "noobish" understanding of generators is an magnetic field is picked up by the copper coils and the electrons in the flow is use to turn the magnets in the rc motors etc.
Why is it import to have both north and south polarity if all that is needed is electrons for the copper to grab?
@sajabz2007 the use of opposing magnet poles N,S,N,S... create and AC voltage. kinda like the voltage in your house. By adding the rectifier you create a DC voltage, kinda like the voltage from a battery. This was just a silly project i whipped up last Christmas in my free time. Ideally i would go with the same setup with my magnets but wire my coils for a three phase application, Rectifying three phase is much more efficient with less loses.
@sajabz2007 if i set my magnets in this project to be all the same poles facing the same way (S,S,S,S) the voltage would cancel itself out, each coil would end up fighting against itself and producing nothing at all.
@Losenger dude, come on now, this is a project from spare shit i had laying around my workshop, i don't plan on powering the local shopping mall with it!!
@6341026p not sure if i understand what you mean, are your coils sandwiched between two rotors? if so i know the project your taking about, they both rotate at the same time with the coils between them?
@jonathanspindler Yes my coils between two magnet rotors which are rotate at the same time. Upper one is South and Down one is North . Should i keep the same setting in all raw?
@6341026p if you have plates with magnets on them spinning the same speed, one on either side of the coils, kind of like my video here with the magnets alternating north/south/north /south but with another set of magnets on another plate facing the other magnet plate with the coils sandwiched between them the magnets facing each other would also have to opposite polarity.
@jonathanspindler only looks like theres on magnet rotor, with 2 on each side I bet it would puy out way more power :-)
I going 3 magnet roters and 2 sets of coil rotors so I can get to alternaters from 3 magnet rotors.. should work out good... you could stack as many as you want :-)
@jonathanspindler actually I can already tell you a straight magnetic field between 2 magnets (north facing south etc) will create much more inductance in a single coil. This is why windgenkits use's the design, videos there of the whole construction :-) because it puts out a lot more power.
@Me102288 yeah i do like the design, and i agree that the lines of flux between two opposing magents are more efficient for cutting through coils:) i have a few projects i would love to try but my job and being a dad/husband leave me with very little time for experimenting
@7h7gn7fh have you looked into ceiling fan motor modification projects? I just crack open a motor the other day and i think i may try and convert it to a generator.
@7h7gn7fh they are all in the the direction, all wire in series. I didn't really put much thought into this, just a rainy Sunday afternoon fun little project i thought i'd try.
ok now you know how to drive that electric motor out on the lake. Seriously though, you waste a lot of energy in your coils by making them so large dia. I know it's just a demo but just in case anyone gets the wrong idea
@itsandbits1 this is just a quick demo to show the basic principals of power generation, i wouldn't be building this to strap blades to it to generate power at all.
Thanks for sharing this information. Excellence unveiled !!

Did you coil wire around the plate where you have the magnets?
Unequippd 4 months ago
@Unequippd no, the magnets are epoxied to a octagon electrical junction box cover made of steel, the coils are epoxied to a CD.
jonathanspindler 4 months ago
Your coils are too big for your magnets... waste of wire.
