The stator out of the mold. You can just see the coils through the resin.
The magnet rotors are molded in the same fashion. Next to the mold is a jig used to evenly space the powerful magnets on the steel rotor plate. Trust me, these magnets are flesh eaters.
Magnets placed on rotor.
The assembly of the alternator begins with a magnet rotor installation. The hardware is all stainless steel because it’s non-ferrous and holds up in the weather. The magnets are black because they are encased in epoxy so they adhere better.
The stator is sandwiched between the magnet rotors.
Here is the completed alternator. The blades attach to the bolts on top. When the wind blows the rotor disks spin. The magnetic field is cut by the coils and you have electricity. That’s pretty much how all electricity is produced.
Big and heavy. I think to mount this on the tower, Ill remove the blades and install them later. The blades have been balanced with duck decoy weights.
Finished alternator for the 10' turbine.
