http://www.mwands.com how to build your own PMA ,permanent magnet alternator using a 10si or 12si alternator.for wind turbines or hydro power etc.
All of the parts can be bought on our website. The rotors shown in this video we no longer endorse or sell. See the link below.
thanks
Here's a link to our new pma's and rotors http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8_HN6NcmMVY

  • If you use a standard coil from car alternator it would produce about 14 volts. But the wiring in the coil is fat and too heavy to produce the kind of amps that it takes for a wind turbine. Cars turn at higher rpms than wind can. Therefore changing the coil is nessary to produce the maximum amps that the wind can produse to charging amps for your storage and use.

  • how much will this end up costing in the end product

  • @breakdncr85 could cost you $150.00

  • can a PMA still be configured to work in a car or truck. im asking this because i have a nice stereo system but having more than three batteries can be a little space consuming (not to mention the astheticism). so can it be done???

  • @tcrawfordperformance No they cannot be used in a car at all. There unregulated voltage and will set your wiring unfire.

  • Can these be used as brushless motors for DIY electric bikes?

  • @HostileHST no they cannot. you need brushes to act as an electric motor.

  • I like the videos but I dont understand why replace everything and where can you get all the stuff you got on the video, how much does it cost? is it worth making one yourself for how much energy it will be putting out? I have another question but im afraid of asking it on here since I have not heard anyone talk about it at all. I was wondering if there was a way I may ask and you can give me a crash course in alternators and the way they build up electricity. new to the concepts here.

  • how many volts would it produce with the original coil?? Thats an interesting concept run three wires into your home and put the diodes there water cooled...

  • @jeffmolly1 Im pretty sure it could be used as a motor. if you used it in a 3 phase configuration instead of through the rectifiers. You would have to have a 3 phase motor controller though, and one that worked off of back EMF, since there's no hall effect sensors to tell it which phase to power when. It would be interesting to modify it further and add hall effect sensors and sensor magnets to the rotor shaft. A temperature sensor would also be advisable.

  • @00700paradox dude, HE IS Tony Stark

  • @jeffmolly1 That's a bummer, cause that could be a pretty powerful set up. They do make brushless controllers, but I will have to see how all that works. The wonders of Youtubing, hehe. Thank you for the quick reply.
