does the size of the coil have to match the size of the magnet?

How many watts do you predict your design will generate?

I thought that the voltage produced was a function of the number of turns in the coil, not the length of the wire.

If you un wind the 9 coils at say 70 turns each they would be the same length.You have to be able to hold the coils together before you pour the epoxy.

Isn’t the number of winds more important than the length of the wire? Also, what’s the purpose of the tape if you use epoxy?

Yes. Check out Muddymudman’s channel. Put in the search “Ceiling fan turbine” then look for Muddy. He has a complete construction video series. I have one operating in my garden. Video coming soon.

More turns in the coil would have better effect

what is required for more current or watt..big magnet or more turns in coil?

how do you calculate how much power a coil will be using on ac?

Its still surprises me, just how lot of people don’t know about Xobotano Home Energy (do a google search), although many people save a large amount of money with this alternative energy. Thanks to my cooworker who told me about Xobotano Home Energy, I have cut my electric bill by 75% in less than 30 days

You made winding the coils look so simple perhaps even a worn out old half wit such as myself might stand a chance doing it (providing I don’t totally screw up building your jig design LOL) but if it can be botched I will be the one who does it. Thank you for the enlightenment, now I only hope I can achieve a positive group of results. Again my thanks .To say I am not the sharpest pencil in the box is an understatement truth be told even the lead fell out long before they attempted sharpening

Yes check out Muddymuddymuddman’s channel he has step by step videos on building one.

He used 18gauge wire here with 6.5 layers, about 70 turns he says… I think that ace hardware has a book on winding coils with the math you’d need. There are different types of magnet wire btw.

Check out my video “building the stator for my VAWT”. It should anwser your questions.

Are the coils all the same polarity or are they alternately facing up and down?

Home Made Energy known as Xobotano Home Energy (google it) kept showing up here on many videos and I thought they were scams. However after my cousin follow it, and finally save huge amounts of his electric bills by using it, I’m persuaded. Don’t take my word for it, search for Xobotano Home Energy on google.

I have never tested the stator using an exact RPM. emagnets has a few videos where he has set up his stators and can give you exact numbers for amps-volts -RPM. Of course these numbers really dont mean much unless you have a constant wind speed which most of us do not have. My generator produces from 0 no wind to 15 volts alot of wind. I am using 9 coils. I am now working with serpintine coils less time consuming to make and more effiecient. I am sorry not much help.

how much electricity does each coil produces? amps + volts?
Finally how many coils are you setting up?

Very impressive technique. Awesome job of showing how to make coils, but you are using the wrong shape and size. Magnetic flux moving across the coil only produces electricity when it is perpendicular to the direction of the motion. Your coils only produce electricity near the middle and not near the inside and outside edges. Square coils will capture more power and the in/outside edges do not have to be under the magnets because they don’t produce power anyway.
