An alternator can be easily acquired.
How to make a wind generator using a car alternator. It was built from scratch consisting largely of recycled components and materials. We also discovered that there are modifications that can be made to a delco alternator to make it suitable for a small wind generator. One the stock delco alternator stator wiring needs to be replaced with a stator that has more turns of smaller gauge wire and high powered neodymium magnets replace the standard magnets to give more power output. After you ve fit the alternator in remove it.
However the car alternator may not be the ideal choice for this type of project. Making construction of a small wind turbine generator a perfect choice. Rpm on this turbine we calculated to be no more than 360 rpm. Place horizontal shaft lawnmower on top of the same plywood sheet.
Arrange the motor so the shaft is parallel to the shaft of the alternator. An alternate energy project for my university degree in engineering. As the propellers turn the pulley drives the belt which turns the alternator and generates electricity. It requires a lot of energy to.
The wind will supply the energy either to be used immediately or stored in batteries to use in the absence of the wind. This operation as simple and harmonious alternator when integrated into the car s system coupled with the fact that component be easily acquired by low or even almost free in any sucateira can make suppose to build a small wind generator handmade construction it could be the perfect choice as it rotated by the wind would produce energy that could be used at the time or stored in batteries to consume in the absence of wind. To attach the blades to the alternator you can weld the fan clutch hub directly to the alternator hub just make. First a normal alternator will need to be excited copper wire coils charged since we do not have magnets in an alternator.
Adjust the height of the alternator until the belt is tight then secure the alternator. Place the entire turbine into a high wind location. Mount the alternator onto the frame of the stand below the propeller assembly. The blades for the wind generator are repurposed from a vehicle fan clutch.
After removing the alternator cut a length wise 1 inch slot out of the bottom.
