Specification of the 1136 A Flywheel Generator

Hi so we've been working on that wind turbine as you know but this thing has not been forgotten i've also done some work on this now in one one one nine and one one two oh we built this and gave details on this particular structure here because this is the interesting a bit about it it's a single coil now that might not seem too exciting but think about how it would be if you had to wind all of those little coils and get them there this took no time at all to wind one big coil now one day originally from two thicker wire so i've rewound this with 28 swg instead of 18 swg and here it is so about two kilos of wire on i'm sorry i have forgotten the number of turns but it's a 26 inch wheel.

So you can get roughly how many turns there are on there anyway i've wound it with a thinner wire now as we know the thinner the wire the higher the voltage the lower the rampage so we should get a reasonable voltage out of this this time the other thing that i looked at that was really interesting was the magnet arrangement now when we took this we took this as really a prototype from a turntable motor where you have one half north and one half south and we didn't know what kind of magnet arrangement would work so i tried north south north south north south going all around the rim and i also tried half north half south and something really interesting happens.

If you do north south north south north south then the voltage goes up but the amperage remains the same if you do half north half south the voltage remains the same but the amps go up which is amazing really there's guidance on how to build this thing if you're going to build it as a generator you need lots of turns of thinner wire if you're going to build it as a motor you need less turns of thicker wire the voltage and the amperage are affected by the magnet arrangement you can either do half the wheel north half the wheel south or alternate your magnets north south north south either is good but they will actually have that effect now we're going to spin this bad boy up and see what it does and i've actually only got four magnets out the side.

There's four there and there's four on its opposite side there and because i don't have any of the magnets i've had some more i'd put more on that's what we've got i'm going to spin it up and i've got the meter here with its captain tape so you can read it it's actually kind of cool 10.7 volts when i read it but that's probably what 11 volts coming out for that so we've got 11 volts coming out of those eight magnets on there on that flywheel with that uh 28 swgy that's pretty awesome actually we swap it over to the amps we get about i don't know five milliamps or so okay so i've got it on the milliamp reading spin it up to see what happens about 4 milliamps.

Yeah 4.1 okay that's really cool now let's put it on something and see it do some work i've got an led panel here we clip up the led panel no problem at all getting that to light and of course that'll stay lit as long as this could produce the voltage in amp it's to do that so what's good about this like i say is really this coil arrangement that's the really cool thing the flywheel they're great for energy storage but the coil arrangement works a treat so we make that big call with the folded over metal that we looked at in one one one nine and one one two oh thinner wire magnets in half north half south and you're gonna have yourself a pretty impressive flywheel generator anyway i wanted to share that with you because i finally got that done.
