I see what you mean!... No field winding = no control (except via AV) -- Now I begin to understand their unique applicability to wind-turbines!It's hard to regulate PM AC generators that need to run at a constant RPM.
If your serious about this, an electromagnetic rotor, like a car alternator would be a better way to go. Makes voltage regulation much easier.Could I turn this into a generator by making a permenant magnet rotor on the inside?
