Hi Gang,
I have a idea on building a large permanent magnet alternator. For a vertical axis wind mill
Using microwave magnets and transformers.
I saw a write up from a guy in Scotland that built his wind charger from rare earth magnets and home coiled wires.
My question: building the rotor with 12 or more rare earth magnets on a Volvo 240 front wheel strut and bearings and using the transformers as the stator,built in a circle and wired together( which will be one part I'll need help on ).
When the magnets pass each transformer AC current should be made. Correct?
No idea on how to regulate it - I might use it to heat water in a large stainless steel milk tank and using a heat exchanger into the shop.
your thoughts appreciated
thanks
Hank
