http://www.windynation.com | This is a very short video of our 500 Watt PMA being hand spun at about 115 rpm. The PMA's electrical output is hooked up to a 38 Volt Ametek. This was to done to show just how much voltage this PMA can make at low rpm's. Additionally, one can see that our PMA is not much bigger than an Ametek motor but our PMA can put out a lot more electricity.
There is a voltmeter hooked-up to the PMA output so you can see how much electricity the Ametek is receiving. Remember, the PMA is only at ~115 rpm! The Ametek is doing about 3-4 times as many rpm's.

Lastly, it is pretty cool to have a visual demonstration of an alternator producing electricity.

WindyNation's PMA is available on ebay and at www.windynation.com

  • I know I found something on YT about it earlier but how do you convert the 3 phase to DC?

    I remember something about a "start" and a "delta" diode set up or something, but I can't find the video about it now.

    ???

    HELP! lol

  • You rectify the 3 phase AC electricity to DC with a three phase bridge rectifier. We sell them on our web site. - windynation

  • dude ! a car alternator needs a battery for its windings to be charged . without the electromagnetic field it cant make sqwat

  • This is an interesting comment but it is completely unrelated to the generator you see in the video. This is a 3-phase permanent magnet alternator. It is does not need its field to be charged in order to start generating electricity.

see all

    U can actualy use a rectifier in an old car alternator... These are made for 3 phases (c my video) delta is more used for HAWT star for vawt ...

    Star connection *** more voltage than delta at low rpm and less than delta at high rpm

    Delta connection *** more voltage than star at high rpm less than star at low rpm

    The one way diode must be placed after ur rectifier to stop the current from ur battery to drain into ur coils...

  • A lovely little generator.

    Does your shop ship to germany?

  • yes true . I have just became aware of quantum fields. some very interesting stuff . It appears that energy can be taking from one dimension to another with out breaking the laws of physics ,This can give up energ to us, Its just a matter of time before we can fine tune the right equipment . good post

  • @uawwildbob

    actually some alternators don't even need a charge.

    both gm and ford both have self generating alternators. just have to get it to the right rpm.

  • windy nation, supplies a awesome pma very powerful, great bang for the buck.

  • nice job (5 from me)
