How to make wind turbine copper coils yourself stator do it yourself cheap DIY

how to make PERFECT copper coils for wind turbines. I have taken the best of several ideas and put them all together on this video on how to make, tight, do it yourself, dyi, winding copper coils on a stator of a generator, of the wind turbine. I use magnent copper wire. This will worke on vertical and horizontal turbines. the rotor will be the next step. Build your own copper coil machine.

The only problem with doing it this way is that with each turn there is a twist in the wire and that causes problems with small thin wire. A better way is to wind it so the wire goes from the spool to the winding directly. Also, apply tension to the wire coming off the spool and not the spool. Use clothe tied to some string nailed to the bench. It will unspool evenly and not wind too tightly.

@Myreply59 Thanks

Cool Video. Why round? most that you see are oval, or almost (round) triangles. Does it depend on the size/dimension of the neos? How did these coils perform in real applications? Thanks

[wadebankston]

@KyleCarrington Round is the easiest to make but oval or triangle is better and should preform better. I am currently working on a more oval/triangle. I have not used the round coils on my turbine yet, but will this summer. I will keep you updated.

@wadebankston how much coil would i need to make a 3 phase, 9 coil stator only have 300 ft of 22 gauge wire

[wadebankston]

@retrokidm --That is only a little over 33 feet per coil. If your using 22 gauge wire I don't think you are going to have enough.

Electric drill makes the process a hellovalot quicker . Can pump out several quality coils in no time.

great job brother , what is the thickness on the copper , and where can I get it

do you have a video how you build the wind generator ?!!

[KyleCarrington]

Thanks for your help. hope you keep building as well. I wonder if you've ever though of making a small HAWT with mags on the outer rim of an alloy MTB rim, coils around the outer perimeter, such to emulate / copy the honeywell WT6500. It's ridiculously expensive, over 5 grand, but almost looks like you could DIY.

@Myreply59 (2 of 2 ).. Then there is the space between the coil surface and the magnet. It should not be more than 1/8th apart. This means higher induction of the coil. I wish you well in your endeavors.

[Myreply59]

@KyleCarrington Yes. I never knew about that until seeing it as a btw to a video about making coils for a wind turbine. The maximum flux point is like an eclipse where the peak is at full strength when it is equal on all points to the coil. Also, the coil thickness shouldn't be more than one and a half times the thickness of the magnet width. This is to allow full saturation of the coil. So square coils for square magnets and so on. (1 of 2)..

[KyleCarrington]

@Myreply59 Is this to allow The voltage to hit zero for a moment, - before - it passes over the other side of the coil, ensuring induction?

[Myreply59]

@Myreply59 Just to say, I worked a long time at a wire production plant and we tried it all there. The best way is to add enough tension so the the wire will wind evenly and smoothly. The tension should be applied only to the wire and not the spool so that the clothe acts like you holding it between your thumb and finger.

[Myreply59]

@KyleCarrington The diameter of the coil hole should be the size of the neo so that you get the maximum flux.
