Stator and Rotor how to make help needed!

[Michelinho]

Hi Thaelin,

I also uses 16 magnets per rotor and 12 coils. The magnets are 1.5" x 1" x 1/4" Blocks and had no trouble assembling these rotors with a center spacer installed and no stator in place. I made my stator in 2 halves with 6 coils on each and I can assemble and disassemble them without having to touch the rotors. I can change the coil wire size if need be even without stopping the alternator. Installing the second rotor with a stator in place would be a lot harder if jack screws are not used. I also use 12 rectifier bridges, one for each coil, that way I can set it for 12 volts, 24 volts, 36 volts or 48 volts just with a fast modification of the external connections.

Take care,

Michel

hrmm... yes that is an issue I am glad you brought that one up...

I was under the assumption you adjust the space between two nylock nuts on a threaded rod, then you get your spacing 1 on top one on the bottom.

UPDATE on my progress:

I received 24 magnets 75lb pull epoxy coated.
I also received my plate to have precise spacing between each mag on the rotor.

Still working at the rest of her but I will get there!

I was able to track down some rotors at a local break joint crazy stuff indeed there is a dumpster full of em I couldn't give the guys money no matter how hard I tried so I spent 10bux in there gas station needed milk and such anyways and figure need to keep em in business somehow...

Problem is I got a set of 13" rotors and a set of 12" rotors hrmmm well I suppose it'll do the trick one pair is only a spare I'll stick with the 12's for general purpose. Now if I could find a cheap steam engine boy would I be whooping some arse!

Gotta love when things start to take shape.

The paint choice for me is epoxy paint by Krylon. It dries and hardens well.

The color choosing will be white to effectively stamp out as much heat absorbing factor as I can without heat things tend to weather a little more less.

Tonight the plan is to work at getting rid of all the rust on the rotors possibly painting as well.
Tools I will be using is an orbital sanding unit and a Black and Decker Dremel which is the best dremel for the money at walmart loads of power I have used the regular dremel brand and it does not compare unless you get the 100.00 version not worth it though trust me!

Oh hell one slight issue I have is forgetting to purchase the glue for the mags! Well at least I can make some forward progress on the rotors and have them all marked out as per the instructions of the members here.

I still am lost at the complete design from clfguy I really need to understand the mechanics of the rest of the turbine and his design he seems to be pretty firm and sure on his design not that there are not other ways to do it I'm sure but I want a solid proven design!

I question how these poles and stators and rotors and blades are going to all come together I know threaded rod was mentioned and welds here and there...

Thanks for the help guys please don't stop now I really need your help we can do this cheaply and make the whole project available for folks to see here publically.

OK then,
  Moving right along... Good score on the rotors
Go ahead and get your 1/2" exterior plywood, carefully layout then cutout your discs. You will see in the included drawings
that you have a little woodwork to do, and it must be done with a little forethought- make templates for the smaller discs
as they must be very accurate to accommodate the five lug pattern of the hub (on top) and magnet (brake) rotor (bottom).

  Measure & think many times before cutting as you actually end up saving time.
