@CG
Kind of. I use a jig that allows for safe and quick magnet
placement. Once the magnets are on they are stuck. The last
one acts like a keystone in the magnetic circuit.

running lot of wire today an rewired the alternator jumpers just
a tidy connection an soldered per your recommendation.. lynx
made nice 150' run with extension cord ..will make a nice
junction combiner box later to fit solar an wind split box an
panel moved battery banks around getting ready to tie watt meter
in an 2 GTI 300 watt an a 1000 watt pure sine
inverters..getting close..pipe is in will set Vawt on pole
tomorrow lord willing an the creek don't rise..remember... i got
too do this right...for show an tell.... an all by my self, an
i'm building two experimental vawts hope to turn a small dc
motor an another pma alternator...never did answer about coil
or serpentine stator which is easier an mor efficient..two i'am
building are a mid size from 75 -200..if i can get enough wire
in stator..mine are an upscale from different composites .. did
not marker label for the the 24 v an 12 v on the switch
...should have taken picture of boost one connection short went
too right side an long jumper from rectifier went to left side..
i am going to use this meter for surveillance..should work..

lynx ,
when i received the 175 alternator it was wired in parallel
still is i referred back to the video..jumper wired is correct
but coming from rectified circuit i want to make sure i wired i
correctly i have the extension cord black an white wire i have
the black wire going to the right side first connection coming
off ac rectifier to switch if you look at it coupling facing up
an wired in parallel
then second wire white is connected to left wire nut second,
coil to the first wire connection middle connection of
switch..is that right? you
should have took a picture, but i thought i wired it right, i
did not do anything to the rectifier circuit..just dis-
connected the yellow leads going to stator one right one left..
an made new jumpers
i do not want to reverse the connection ..all tho i do not
believe it will do anything except reverse the 12v-24..ino
electricla wiziard just the basic..

That looks fine and is configured for 12 volt charging Doesn't
matter if your extension cord wires are swapped from one yellow
to another. If you get some wind you will see a 12 volt battery
rise quickly. With enough wind a float charge of 14+ volts will
activate the GTI. If winds are really strong the GTI will dump
more and more watts to the grid and protect the battery from
overcharging. Remember to plug GTI into outlet first before
connecting DC.

I have used a GTI to dump excess power in the past and have to
agree it is a good way to harness all that `would be wasted
power` and gain from it too....Be careful though because if it
is blowing really good out there and dumping power to the GTI
and you get a power failure....Where does the extra power go
then ?.
The moral here is to be prepared to have to shut the turbine
down if both the above things happen together.

i understand ness..where dose that power go?..it is official the
curse has begun no wind bright sunny day out now...should have
my solar going been to busy with this project... starting
tomorrow back on solar an then finish another 2 secret projects
zero gravity vawt,,,.. i will set another system up.....

yes sut those are your wings ... i ended up using silicone,
caulked every nook an cranny they need to be replaced..but
silicone is holding...fingers crossed i have a brown set ..but
this is an experiment right.... took failed set of adhesive on
wings.. caulk welded each wing..,
lynx i made the wingtips by hand an the straps need to be
stainless maybe..an yes it would be right to make each the same
by hand not an easy task with funky wings..i made straps too
square airfoil wing to the rotor arm looks like caulk may have
tightened a bit more...need new wing and straps to match..was
trial an error with strapping an wings.... one looks slightly
tighter but once in motion should true itself with centrifugal
force an be square.. i don't see a problem.. with balance....i
solved that with larger washer on top of wing tips an
smaller..on rotor arms every thing is proportioned ..
we will see..!

@lynx. Hey I found your "off topic" post you said 20 awg would
be perfect for a 175 alt, 4 in hand, 50 turns. Just want to make
sure 50 turns isn't a typo. If 2 20 awg = 17 awg, and alt can be
wound with 100 turns 2 in hand 18awg, is it really just 50 turns
4in hand 20awg? Thanks.
