Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

If you duplicate your wire coils and magnets on opposite side of wheel spindle would it produce 2000 watts?

hi meso

2k seems to be getting into heavy duty terrority...it sounds like your wondering about stacking alts together ?....if so i think its kind of going to require your own machine shop to tool up your own parts......i think some commercial axials are designed that way (modular)....

heres a good read on a machine thats capable of producing 2k...it,ll give you a feel for whats involved with building for that kind of power and scale....prop size ,alt and tower..

otherpower 17 foot



hope this helps in some way .... Edited by niall1 2011-07-23

Not to mention you need to upsize the turbine to suit. Stacking alternators will increase the output, but only if you put more power into it.

Chad short answer yes but. all of the above applies read this and come back with more questions.

it's on this site
Of course you have to be in a good wind area, generally if you get an average of 15% of rated output you are doing well.

this is what you mean I think
