Building the sickest ® VAWT ever. Brilliant minds unite please!!

@justgary , if I lose you now then things will be soo less effective.

This mission really needs your mind to stay on board until you have proven this is all just bonkers.
But from a humanitarian aspect you could just hold my hand.. please ...
 
this one is better as a schematic representation of the PMA magnet configuration

1713698210929.png

so next to charting the field values on various relevant points and at relevant measurement angles I will also include
* open circuit voltage against frequency (to see if there is (non)liniarity)
* closed circuit amperage against frequency including coil temperature
then when, if at all, reaches around 70C and is stabile then open up the coil and measure the voltage at that specific frequency.

Then we will have our wattage capabilities for this base line coil.... I think :(

I have chosen 70C because these particular magnets will start misbehaving at around 80C so this kind of test should be tweaked to the parameters of the PMA being tested.

If adding fans attached to the rotors to cool off the coils are indeed turning out to be useful I might consider increasing from a 70C limit to 75C. But probably only after having themally insulated the magnets before starting to push boundaries this early on.


If at all hope giving then I will move towards the final coils and start installing the turbine with PMA just to see it spin and see what happens before packing it up for the coming summer as I am sure we would like to use the lawn for leisure and not get killed by spinning blades :)

BTW, I realize that there is a BIG BIG difference between what a PMA can do when pushing the limits.

And what a turbine can provide based on the blade configuration.

But my reasoning was that to leave no space for fraudsters to sell unwitting consumers obvious junk I thought it important to first focus on the PMA, and then extend to the turbine.

You see if I would only focus my efforts on quantify the turbine then that leaves a window of opportunity for those less savory out there to just say yeah no. our PMA is really the new babies milk. or bottom gammas. Or the behamma gammasas or what have we these days to describe the all new and improved?

So my dear readers.
Just rest assured in the notion that although things have gone completely bonkers years ago :) Of which I am proud.
There is an actual method to the madness. One that is there for the protection against wrongdoers.

You see if I could just fend off snake oil merchants with a simple question. One soo simple that being unable to answer it is an immediate RED flag.
Then all we need is to educate our children better and the world will slowly increase towards betterment.

and I forgot to mention earlier that I will run the capacity test with the full PMA after I completed all 3 full coils. Before I build up the turbine again and let it spin for a short while.
I am hoping I will run into the 3KW limit of the motor. hahhahahha
You know what gang. In case that should happen, how ever unlikely, then I will get my self the 11KW version of said motor.

hmmm

hmmm

I am not sure I actually mean that.

And just to make sure to make a separation in this thread into 2 main aspects

* just random talk (of which I am a big contributor)
* actual attempts at scientific goals

I only care if one would all agree that the scientific goals were sound.
NOT bonkers at all.

Sure the surrounding parts do feel like a great party. I at least want to order another pina colda at this weird festival we are at.

It is important to me to be able to understand what it is one meant to say when they say it.

No I changed my mind.

Not pina colada.

But better something like the flowing.

Shaken but not stirred.

I know I am already too old to ever get into the bond shape but would not like we all?
 
and @justgary you know what is the most striking aspect of this all?

{actualy Gary, this statement was not to you at al.. No at all!!\
this rant is about al that came before us and have strong opinions about their believes.

I vote for just simple data. soo simple even it is not even asking too much

}

That we are seemingly the fist ever to punt numbers to it all.

I mean if I am mistaken then please show us documentation about all those electro magnets before us? and how the fields worked on rotors.

Hahah dont worry bro. I also did not find any of that yet.

so it is we that will set new standards. that are always open of course to scrutiny, and when found correct contribute the the latest new standards
 
ok truth be totld I do not wan things here to be like out there!!


here things are without advertisements. hahah Can you imigane if one cool one came up to me and tried to persuade me?


hahahhaha

Well;ll one thing that would happen is that I would invite them in to this rather popular thread.

And I would be open to just the raw options. Because you see? I am not open to money. i already have more than I can spend
 
it is not that I have gotten request from advertisers no not t all.

But now you knew why they never will try from the get go.

They will get my dark stark glance. without words and then realize it is better to walk away.
 
I am soo happy to report that I am finally able to crawl towards where we need to get.

Some coherent data. Not at all like my bond antics :)

You see one of the issues also was that the whole PMA, because of my lack of just good craftsmanship, displayed all kinds of negative attributes that one really does not want when letting off a PMA into the wild.

But I think like this. Sure a skilled woodworker or crafts alike would have been able to do this all in like 6 months rather than still not finished.
Sure sure.

But where is the fun in that?

Nah I truly do not mean that. I am rather frustrated with my status at the moment and yes it is true I am depleting my reserves.

But because I just saw progress I just found another reason to ramble :)
 
ok running the motor at 15Hz will lead to the coil to overheat. I had to stop the test when I saw 72C

so next up is 12.5 Hz.

and the Hz at which the motor runs is different than that of the frequency of field reversals yes? we all see this yes?
Sure they are related but not similar.
 
hahah I told you lot before that you lot are probably correct most of the times.

Well @Hedges again got it right ages ago it seems. In where he predicted that the magnets will not heat up all that much.

The current configuration will just not allow for the magnets to heat up especially when spinning this fast.
I mean think of the amount of air they drag with them while rotating.

I am not even sure I am going to need fans to help the coil cool. The magnets them selfs are the fans as it seems.
 
WOW!!

if this turns out to be correct than that means I should be aiming for this high temp epoxy again. So then we can start aiming much higher in terms of temperature.

Ok so the maximum the enamal of the wires can be operated at prolonged exposure is 180C.

This is not something I am looking to push for. It feels just a bit too much of the good stuff in my books.
