Faroun Savonius Wind Turbine

Step 8Generator/ Alternator

Generator/ Alternator
i did not try the pull driven alternator yet.

i am trying the alternator using the disc itself,

i placed a timming belt to the diameter of disc using strong epoxy glue.

and then i mounted the pm alternator to the edge of the belt spring loaded to it. very simple no pully and it is 10 to 1 ratio.

it works but i need over 10MPH wind to make it worth while.
there are many other options for already made dc generator out there at this stage you can choose your generator and mount it and see what you get. otherwise you will have to move to the next step witch is custom PMG, it is in the testing stages and there is no one like it so i am going to waste few dollars figuring the coil out.
