  • cool work 2 thumbs up

  • Where's Ron Jeremy? The bad 70's porn music in the background totally discredits anything you do.

  • Some very nice work you have done.

    Keep up the good work my friend.

  • WOW! this is what i call a nice winding!!! Great job! I am thumbing you up right now!

  • how many string of copper in every coil bundle?

  • I would imagine you would have to be pretty prescise with this project. I am guessing it can spin at a pretty good speed, you wouldn't want it ripping itself apart. Thanks for sharing this video! :)

  • @ReignbowSmite *precise

  • Ok thanks; it looked that way but wanted to check; am going to build axial flux alt for next project; this video helped me a lot. Thanks v much

  • Is it just to hold the coils or has some purpose for ?? Eddys?

  • @7h7gn7fh, i am not sure of the question. however, what i have in the video is a how to construct a PMA.

  • @emagnets I think he was referring to the extra wire intertwined within the coils. I'm assuming just to hold it in place? Very nice build though :) Just one question though, why do you only use bends in your coils and not complete coils (circles)?

  • @azterik yep, the interwinding is just for holding the main coils together.

    i find that the serpen coil gives me more volts at much lower rpm.

  • What's the purpose of the copper wire holding the 3 sets of winding together (at 4:19 you can see the bright copper single thread around the 3 coils)?

  • @7h7gn7fh, it is just that. to hold the coils together and no additional function.

  • sorry, but what it does?

  • @Luckzzz, if you attache it to a prop or any motor, it will produce AC power.

  • Nice job! I like your fixturing.

  • thanks Caleb.

  • Where can i get full plans for this pma? I looked at the two sites at the top of this and could'nt see anything. How much power will this put out? Contact me at rfrisby@xmission.com

  • @fuzzyBoy, i am the creator of this setup. so you will not find the plans anywhere yet, i will be detailing the plans in the future..

    this setup is as follows: with 2 disc magnets i was able to produce 2.2amps and 4vdc at 29rpm shorted.

    so with my own calculation, i should be able to make 800w at 400rpm with 35kmh wind speed.

  • GOOD LUCK SAM:-)

  • By laminate do you mean laminated steel? i can se how this would increase flux density with 1 disk and also act as a heatsink is this the case? As for drilling holes it does'nt look like there is much space in all that copper for any! Looking forward to the test results . Cheers Jim.

  • Jim, yes. Laminate  steel. it sure will increase flux, but i am not sure of the results yet. so wish me luck.

  • How thick is the finished stator? Nice looking coil . are you worried at all about the wire you have olding it together cutting in and shorting accross the coils when you compress it?

  • that would suck if it shorts! i think i will be fine. did it before and all is ok..

    regards

  • Sorry ran out of space! Also im told resin is a poor conductor so thicker stators can have overheating problems, any thoughts? Great work Sam thanks again.

    Jim.

  • Jim, Time is so valuable these days, small steps, dont over do it on daily bases, that is the trick.

    true, that axial flux have a heat issue. i am planing to drill holes through it to assit in cooluing it.

    also i am toying with thew idea of using one disc only, and i am planing to place the stator on top steep laminate.

  • I am sure i will loos power doing that, but the assembly become very simple and adding the laminate on bottom of stator become possible. all in the testing stages. i will share all my findings good or bad with you all.

    Best regards

  • Hi sam nice looking stator dont know how you find the time my PMA is still on the drawing board! You have got me very curious about serpentine coils I am led to believe that the remenant magnetic flux will be about 50% of the magnets rating as long as the total gap between magnet faces is no more than double the thickness of 1 magnet. eg. 25mm magnet 50mm gap.and that a 10% increase in gap will lead to a 10% loss of power so a thin stator would seem to be an advantage for power .
