HAITIAN ALTERNATOR1

As usual, I delivered an original mechanical setup that can be exploited and improved by those who want to generate electricity in small or large amounts. More power requires more powerful magnets and wider coil diameters. I do not like to handle the big ones and am always trying to combine small magnets to achieve bigger magnets strength. I would like to learn more about existing strategies used to combine magnets for the purpose of increasing strength.
As you can see in this video clip, I added one additional magnet to each side of the six magnetic "goalposts." The two magnets that made up the original magnetic gap are restrained at the lower end by a few turns of copper wire. The added magnets are simply hanging above the copper wire by their own magnetic strengths. This trick can be used to increase the height of the gap. The gap will get taller to accommodate coils with wider diameters. However, the additional increase in height also makes the gap wider on top. Make sure that the plywood clip will not collapse inward by the addition of more magnets. I am sure that some of you will find better ways to built a magnetic "goalpost."

Put an electric motor to axis.Use more magnets(triple or more).Use a strong external magnet to rotate this

magnets with rejection force and you will have a generator that not need wind,water,muscle force,etc.

@titusignat Your plan sounds great. I usually post a first prototype and let other people make it better. I am sure that you will build a better generator. Thanks!

Im not sure their is any comparison between the ceiling fan alt and this one for a number of reasons but I feel now that I am just going to start repeating myself. Please dont feel that I am trying to put you down as this is not my intention I am all for people trying new things but inside realistic peramiters. I have been working on a project for a number of years now and when i have some viable results I will post a video and look farward to any criticism you may have

@TheJimmax @TheJimmax If you watch the "ceiling fan alternator 125+ volts" and the "ceiling fan alternator 230+ volts,

You should be able to estimate the power output. Most ceiling fan units usually deliver between (0.7 to 1 amp).

With the voltage reaching 230 volts, I would say that the output is at most 230 amps. The question is: Do you get one amp from each set of coil?

The other alternators are first prototypes built to demonstrate mechanical setups.

You should post some videos.

@generatorblue Allthough I appreciate that everyone does not have acess to tools and materials and i am not just posting these comments to be negative but rather trying to give tips to people who might be interested in this so as to prevent them from being dissapointed by a very low power output. indeed I went down the same road my self and dissapointment was what happened. Perhaps you could provide some data regarding power output so we can tell how long it takes to charge a small battery.

@TheJimmax I try to build with hand tools and with parts that most people have access to. I try to build machines that people in third world countries can duplicate without the use of machine tools. I respect what other people have done but believe it or not, I have found a magnet setup that is more efficient than what I have seen so far. Eventually, I will put it together. For now, I am pleased with my original wind turbine designs: "Bevel siding" & "wire mesh". Mr Piggott sent me a long reply

@generatorblue Seems strange to me that a man who uses a chainsaw lathe should find magnet disks dangerous but each to their own. However if you want an efficent generator from your hard work it seems wise to learn from the people who have pushed this forward with their hard work and experience.

@TheJimmax I copied Hugh Piggott's work in my first alternator. But after I got my skin trapped between two disks loaded with magnets, I decided that making alternator with steel disks was just too dangerous for me. Because I am fearful of large magnets, I migrated to ceiling fan alternators, which use small magnets.Before that, I made the magic rotor alternator, which basically slices the disks into 4 slices each. My next alternator will use bobbins stator in an attempt to copy the ceiling fan.

[TheJimmax]

Axial flux generators of this sort usualy have the magnets mounted on steel discs and this is not just a case of mounting them but the steel consentrates the magnetic field so if you could find pieces of steel to back each magnet it will improve your power output. Once again I would recomend hugh piggots book it really is very good.

@Slayermachete Hi!, I am aware of that. I actually do not have a tower and my house is located at the bottom of the hill. So far, I have been generating electricity while filming videos. I usually take the prototype apart while I think about the next improved one. Eventually, I will assemble a complete machine. The price of magnets and magnet wire is an obstacle but rusted bicycle wheels can be found. I think that I can find low power rectifiers in CFL bulb circuits. Where else should I look?
