pma, improvements

hi everyone, there is many ideas on generators and there improvements out there. these are my thoughts from testing things iv tried. star or delta, single or three phase, induction motor or permanent magnet, batteries or grid tie. so many things need to be figured out before you build a system. there can be advantages to all dependant on the systems you plan on using. first is the windings, star will give a higher voltage but lower amperage , delta will give higher amperage but lower voltage, you need to decide at the point the generator is in your hands to make any needed changes to the coil wiring. here is a thought, USE BOTH, this can be wire through relays and be switched by the current that is being made by the generator, this will happen by the amperage its set for. works vary good for the smaller mills, increased output every time. see { toppentech . com } this is a fella with some vary cool ideas. single or three phase, iv only used three phase at this point, I don't see a larger output from single phase and a larger cogging problem with sing phase dosnt interest me at all. the permanent magnet type is by far the widest used type, its proved itself over and over again, but there is a million possible combinations with each type out there. this is why I like the wind mills, so much room to play with ideas that there is no end to the posibilitys. the induction motors can be a grid tie or a generator , and with a properly selected motor for the application can have a good output for cheap. they can also have magnets installed on the rotor to be made into a permanent magnet type gen, most have more than one set of windings giving you options to test for more output. I use one setup for a grid tie to offset the battery charging cost and to lower the strain on the batteries saving more battery for when the wind isn't there. I think that all systems should have batteries, even grid tie ?. yes even grid tie. the battery systems are self explanatory but the grid tie will not only lower your hydro bill coming into your house but can charge the batteries when needed lowering the cost of charging. I think the best possible system would use all of these factors at the same time , this is my long term goal. the smaller alt type rear bearings don't last long, I find about a year at best before you will be able to see the beginning of the end for the rear bearing. using two front cases will improve life into the two to three year point, I have hade a couple bad ones at two years but never a failure in service yet. painting the inside as well as the outside is a must, the corrosion on the inside has allways been worse than any other area on my units. im also testing a idea I found that uses a sheet metal ring around the inside of the gen to stop the field from absorbing into the aluminum casing . these are food for thought and always move onward and upward. thanks for reading.
