gotwind axial flux wind generator turbine

Gotwind axial flux wind generator directly powering a 5 watt Luxeon LED at just 2 foot off the ground in my turbulent wind garden. Rotor diameter 32". Will produce plenty more power in clean air at a good height. More info and plans at: www.gotwind.org

    Thanks very much for your advise! I did find some good information about the entire deal and I will be putting it on practice this weekend. I will post the results.. I hope I get good results :?

  2. how much did this cost to make?

  3. The AC~ power comers out of the alternator, that is wired to a bridge rectifier {3 if it is 3 phase AC} to get DC power. Regulate the DC power using a zener diode or a proper charge controller to get the required voltage {or you could try a regulator/rectifier unit from a motorcycle, depending on turbine size} and charge batteries or run lights. Do a google search on axial flux alternators.

    Cool wind generator! : 0

    How do you do the wiring? I built a wind generator using a treadmill motor and have it mounted on a 25 foot tower.. but I do not have knowledge on the electrical part.

    Could I use the same kind of light bulb you used? How many at the same time?

    Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

    Keep up the good work!!
