windblue 512 stator in a windblue 540 pma

fabieville · 05-11-11, 09:45 AM

I have a windblue 540 that is very low on amps so i was wondering if i replace the 540 stator with the 512 stator if i would get a big improvement on the amount of amps it produces? Here is the link for the 512 stator:

Permanent Magnet Alternator Wind Blue Motor Wind

I am planning to design a gearing system for it using bicycle parts like chain/sprockets etc. Any idea as to what size/ratio I should use. Because the cutting speed is over 650 rpm much higher than the 540 that i have now using.
I have a 5 blade design, windynation 28" hyperspin blades. Should i change these or use 3 instead of the 5?

I am anxiously waiting on your comments/ideas.

I looked at the alternator that you gave a link to and noticed that it works best with a seven foot rotor. Having said that though, I know very little about appropriate rotors, so I don't know if your rotor is enough or not.

I've been trying to learn a little about wind power. I can't install a turbine here,
but it's interesting to see how well the smaller systems work.

I've subscribed to "Fearlessthinker" on youtube, and found his videos to be very educational.

It sure seems like just about all these car alternator systems under-perform..
