    I still believe it. If things will work out then we should think about a longer central column and then digging that into the ground. Perhaps then no more need for guy wires. Or having pontoons with a few guy wires floating on water. But then like not 1 but like how many can fit without...

    should there be anyone out there with a suggestion on how to ramp things up in a durable manner yet having rather high ratio's Please do not be shy.

    i can already tell that even this PU T10 32mm timing belt is not going to last long under the stresses it will be put under. Even if I shield it from rain and UV (and what have we) influences.

    let us quit the long winding. I have had enough of analysis paralysis. Famous words a good soul threw at me a while back and you know what? She was right all along. Good thing I did admit to that the instant she said it though. Hence forth no more measurements until the whole system is hooked...

    Actually I can think of 2 ways on how to make a direct drive ( no PMA rotation increase) plausible again. Increase the PMA diameter by a lot so that the angular velocity increases and that must surly be in some way expressible as inertial/kinetic energy. Make it large enough (like a 100 meter...

    I have an update that will make things look hopeful again. So all this time I should have been focusing on vAC(rms) and not vAC(pp). Now I can better design the coils to end up with the voltage I need at a specific frequency of field reversal. I have to increase the rotational speed of the...

    ouch!! Everything is as it is supposed to be. But it seems I am aiming wayyyy to low to reach a vDC of 52 after rectification. I looks I should be aiming vor 109 vAC(pp) per phase. Which will require a drastic rethinking of how I intend to increase the RPM of the PMA. Here I am trusting my...

    yes thank you Gary. But it is already configured like that. I will do some research where I am derailing, if at all. perhaps everything is how it is supposed to be and I have to radically rethink the coils.

    I will tell you this my friends. That I do not care if I did it wrong as I am still open to learn how to do it better. Yet when in a star configuration things just are smoother when eventually hooked up to a battery cell. Yes, In my experience, which is crap yes I admit, Delta does not make...

    uggg. it seems there was nothing wrong with my old rectifiers all along. You see the a new one arrived today. the 3 phase one and I went straight back into my evil lair to see if there would be a difference this time around. And to my horror things were rather similar this time around. This...

    I finally figured out where all these losses are coming from. I was using not only half wave rectifiers but also incredibly bad quality ones even though sold as legit bridge rectifiers. Once again got burned buying on great market places and letting scammers get the best of me. I am waiting...

    hoppa!! my first ever 3 phase configured PMA Yes I also see things so no need to seek nails at low tide. But I am still so syco stoked about this. I am going to focus now on getting this out of phase to near 120 degrees. As it is not humanly possible to get things 100% correct like on the...

    nah not delta . star. it is not the voltage levels I am worried about being able to get at. It is the amps that should be wicked(TM). Thus with my limited knowledge I arrive at a star configuration. But left or right. It is easy enough to try both and then see in practice how car lights...

    As to not scare off people with an actual knowledge of the subject too much, it is my intention to use the "Hz(OC) / Hz(CC)" part of the equation to tone things down again a little less "unexpected" when dealing with a CML. So we now have an, for my knowledge level, arbitrary decision to make...

    Ok so I found the car lamps that I did already have. Some 24V and some 12V. I tried to see if they require DC or can also work with AC on the back of the packs but it's either not stated or I lack the experience to dissern that. So given that we are now going to use 3 of those coils I...

    Building the sickest ® VAWT ever. Brilliant minds unite please!!

    hahahha I know now what to do. And it will get us all in shape as a bonus. THe only real way to figure out the CML is to have us run the actual turbine that drives the PMA. And run as fast and hard as you can. And then in my case I would drop before a single rotation. Now some amongst us here...

    Ok so I just realized that I am on the wrong track with this CML forumula. You see that I can configure the motor to adjust it's torque just so that there is not really a noticeable speeding up when opening up the coils. It is called torque compensation or something to that effect which I of...

    So here is my proposition for the CML. I am thinking along the lines of. (amp(CC) * vAC(OC)) / (Hz(OC) / Hz(CC)) = CML expressed in pseudo watts. Now that is called a mamba bejamba.... mehamba mehjammabaja! :)

    Brothers, We need some kind of KISS method. Let us think on when just my basic CML method is no longer applicable. If we can identify/ or argue against the CML as just a multi dimensional multi universal parameter. Then it is time for me to stop pushing this CML idea. If we can not really...

    So because I really did enjoy the mere 80 watts of CML. (yes gang I know I am now just hammering in pseudo scientific terms. But I need to do it else risk never getting unstuck) I am now post curing this coil we saw earlier. So I can elevate this joy even further. I will leave it over night...

    Building the sickest ® VAWT ever. Brilliant minds unite please!!

    No. we need wattage as an expressed value. otherwise we will never be able to compare apples to oranges. So the CML is an expression of power. Short the coils in ones PMA. Let it near overheating while ramping it up. Just a bit before that while it is still stable. Measure the amps. And also...

    Building the sickest ® VAWT ever. Brilliant minds unite please!!

    i thought some more. and when we think about it is is nothing pseudo at all. all we have to do is just setlle at an amp value and then we are set. So short the coils in their PMA setup. Ramp up until just before the breaking point and make sure things are stable. Then measure the amps. here...
