My version of a 3 Phase Generator

[JesterTerrestrial]

Greetings,

I am working with what I have, so this is partly why this design is the way it is.

The plan is to design and develop a 3 phase permanent magnet generator.  The coils will be wired 120 deg from each other (marked by colour) the magnets are rare earth magnets .750 dia. and .125 depth.

Not sure if the pattern is right for three phase or not.  I am not an electrical engineer but believe this should work...anyone out there understand where this is headed and have some feedback as to how this could be better?

Update Apr 26 2007
I removed the original pictures from this post because they are old news...I have made changes that were suggested to me form the members of this form...thanks for all your help...check out the latest modified drawing on page 2.

Check out what these guys are doing with 3 phase.

Right on...looks like a fairly large motor...and a few bucks worth of copper.

Still not sure that the pattern that i have will produce 3 phsae... guess I will have to build it to see...

ok...off the the lab I go...

Yes it will if you wire it that way.
Here is the way you can wire it. This is just easier than me writing it out .

On the bottom of page is a nice coil diagram.

Have fun

You may want to read up on RotoVerter (RV) motors too.

And this too.  Happy reasearching. M.M.
