This is a 3 phase (2 winding per phase) 4 pole AC generator. THIS USES POWERFUL MAGNETS, HANDLE AT YOUR OWN RISK, YOU ARE LIABLE FOR YOUR OWN INJURIES. So have fun :) This is a very time intensive but gratifying project, especially for a science fair or alternative energy. I wish I had more time to test this to give you guys solid numbers, so I apologize. But I can tell you spinning it at a few hundred RPM I was able to produce ~1 Watt from one of the three phases. I will be putting my smaller models of generators on here at first opportunity! Thank you!!(if you feel inclined to tip it will go towards more alternative energy prints!)
Parts list:
1/4-20X2 1/4/bolts----------------------------------(4 of them:stator/mounting)
4-40x 1.5--------------------------------------------(4 of them: rotor)
~1/8 diameter bolts ~2 to 3 inches in length--(12 for the stator core)
1 inch cube N50 or N52 magnet----------------(4 for rotor poles) ~10$ each
