Permanent Magnet Generators

[oshirowanen]

Hello Everyone,

This is my first post, so I apologies if I have broken any forum rules.

I am interested in making some free energy for my home. So far I have gotten as far as permanent magnet generators, but don't understand how the energy generated by these generators can be stored in batteries for later use.

Can someone please help me understand the process?

Best regards

Oshiro

Hi,

if by "permanent magnet generator" you mean a "flux manipulation generator"..then taking the "power" would in its simplist form involve running it through a full wave bridge rectifier to either a battery or a capacitor. However the process of collection can be more complicated as it is my understanding that with these devices you must not have the "load" connected at the same time as the "input" is connected, you have to alternatingly switch them connected/unconnected.

Hi,

Here is an example of the generator I am interested in:

ahhh, in that case, looking at the spec's you would simply need to rectify the 3-phases of the AC output..and again...go to a large capacitor / batteries

Hope you get lots of wind ( that sounds rude but you know what i mean )

LOL, I knew exactly what you meant by "wind".

Do you have any links to the kind of capacitor / batteries I will need?

I honestly would appreciate some help with this as I do not fully understand the info given above.

Is this all I need to create 1kW of free electricity?

Experiments

A wind generator is basically an electric motor turning. Before committing to the purchase I recommend getting a microwave turntable motor and turning it by hand.

You will get 100 or more volts alternating current.

Put this to a 12v wall transformer on the 240v side.

Use a bridge rectifier on the 12v side. Put this (pos to pos, negative to negative) to a lead acid battery and it will charge.

You'll learn a lot that will help. Unfortunately, electronics is something you have to do to understand.

Fortunately it is challenging and fun

The alternator and inverter is only the beginning. For a wind system you'll need the blades to drive the alternator, the tail and furling parts, a tower to put it up in the air. Then you'll need the wire from the tower to the battery bank. A rectifier system to convert the AC to DC ( for battery charging ). A battery bank that will have the storage you need. You also need a charge controller and for wind units this is usually a called a "diversion", "shunt", or "dump" controller. Then the inverter comes into play to convert the DC back into useful household AC .

The alternator and inverter are only a couple of parts for the completed system...
