DECRIPTION

This version has three phases with serpentine winding but theoretically other types of windings are possible.

I used 4x4x15mm Magnets, because I had them here. 40 of these Magnets in a Halbach array arrangement.

First measurements With 50 windings (32 AWG Wire) on one Phase at about ~120 rpms:

3.8 V peak-peak, after the rectifier not enough for my application…

What you need

40x..............Magnets 4x4x15mm (Q-15-04-04-MN from Supermagnete)

1x................M8 screw or threaded rod

2x................M8 Nut

2x................608 bearing Ø22xØ8x7mm (e.g. inline skates bearings)

4-8x.............M4 screw an Nut

~1 meter......Wire per Winding (I use 32 AWG, from a microwave Transformer)

Print settings

0.4mm Nozzle, 0.15 Layer, 55mm/s Speed, no infill, no support

I use „CURA 15.04.06“

Assembly instruction

see Pictures

You can glue M4 nuts in the "Deckel 2x.stl". But make sure that the mounting screws are not too long.

Design Concept

The Radial Generator model is designed for vertical wind turbines, providing an efficient means of converting kinetic energy into electrical energy using magnetic and armature design.

Use

This model serves as a source of inspiration or a prototyping example for designing generators in small greener energy solutions. It can be educational for demonstration purposes in renewable energy classes.

Printing Recommendations

Use a high-quality FDM printer with PLA or PETG for best results. Ensure precision in the cog-toothed parts to maintain functional tolerances.

Assembly Instructions

After printing, carefully align and bolt the stator and rotor sections. Ensure all parts rotate smoothly with minimal friction for optimal efficiency.
