    Is there a program that calculates what the thickness of the cable must? be used and how much wind the coils?

    Hi,
    I want? to build their first power really made me curious but I have problems with the stator, I do not know yet how to make a coil, and I want to do it as shown in this video.
    From what I understand from the stator coils as in this video below gives a voltage of 0-15V and what is the power produced wat? 0 – … ?
    What wire size should be used and how many turns should be wound on the coil?
    I would ask for help in performing the coils.

    Check out my video “building the stator for my VAWT”. It should? anwser your questions.

  4. chromeofan says:

    Are the coils all the same polarity? or are they alternately facing up and down?

    Home Made Energy known as Xobotano Home Energy (google it) kept showing up here on many videos and I thought they were scams. However after my cousin follow it, and finally save huge amounts of his electric bills by using it, I’m persuaded. Don’t take my word for it, search for Xobotano? Home Energy on google.

    I have never tested the stator using an exact RPM. emagnets has a few? videos where he has set up his stators and can give you exact numbers for amps-volts -RPM. Of course these numbers really dont mean much unless you have a constant wind speed which most of us do not have. My generator produces from 0 no wind to 15 volts alot of wind. I am using 9 coils. I am now working with serpintine coils less time consuming to make and more effiecient. I am sorry not much help.

  7. ImUrtastyflava says:

    how much electricity does each? coil produces? amps + volts?

    Finally how many coils are you setting up?

    its a tutorial num nuts?

    Very impressive technique. Awesome job of showing how to make coils, but you are using the wrong shape and size. Magnetic flux moving across the coil only produces electricity when it is perpendicular to the direction of? the motion. Your coils only produce electricity near the middle and not near the inside and outside edges. Square coils will capture more power and the in/outside edges do not have to be under the magnets because they don’t produce power anyway.

    If you look I only have 12 videos. I show all the steps for making a wind turbine. I cut down my videos considerably and it still takes about? 50 minutes or 4 to 5 videos to show step by step how to do it from begining to end.

    i? wise you guys would do a complete video on how to make a gen and the parts used and show it working not these damn little bits

  12. steelsail says:

    This is? so informative and well done. Thank you for sharing…. I think I might try and build a generator from scratch!

  13. Aceman307 says:

    Thanks for the props. I live in Costa Rica and the mail system here is primative at best and cost alot to mail things. Its not to hard to build just using stuff laying around. If you need any help online? let me know.

    I see alot of people using electric motors and pulleys to make a coil, but shit man, this has to be the best homemade device i have ever seen! The entire thing is frickn beautiful. I am really impressed with it. By any chance would you sell? one of those?

  15. Aceman307 says:

    @eastsidesigns1Tthinner wire = more space for more turns . Also the smaller the wire the higher your volts will be but less amps. So the trick is to get the right? combination of high enough volts to charge your batterys but not to high because more amps will charge the batterys faster.

  16. eastsidesigns1 says:

    what’s the significance of 70 and 120 in making the? coils and how does the diameter of the wire affect the winding?(thinner wire= less space for more windings? )

  17. Aceman307 says:

    I really needed to make this coils with more turns like 120 verses 70 I could never get my volts over 6volts with the wind conditions I have here. All? the videos for making coils that I have seen show using one wire. I am now more interested in making some serpentine coils I hear they are much more efficient.

  18. DEWessonsax says:

    I see here your using 1 strand of wire as opposed to 2 strands, what are the differences in volts and watts. Thanks? for the upload.

  19. 1liveandlearn11 says:

    thanks,? does it have to be enamal coated wire?

  20. PATRICKLARUE73 says:

    cool
    pat? l.

  21. Aceman307 says:

    What I thought enticed2 was asking was could he use regular plastic coated wire. Which you could it just would not be very efficient. I was giving him the benifit of a dubt that it would? be silly to use bare copper wire.

  22. skyJets says:

    You can’t use bare? copper for coil windings. It would be like having a shorted coil ???

  23. antizero100 says:

    wow, thanks, that was really good, you? have inspired me

  24. Aceman307 says:

    No it does not have to be enamel coated wire but you want get much voltage out of it. The Idea is to? get as much wire as close together as possible in the coils so to get the most voltage from each passing magnet.

  25. enticed2zeitgeist says:

    Does it have to be enamel coated copper wire? Where do you get? that stuff anyhow and how much is it usually?
