Default Car alternators

I intend to run the alternator through a 1:3 poly-Vee belt drive. Also, fit permanent magnets between the poles of the rotor for self-starting.
I have also acquired 2, 36V pancake motors to experiment with. They may just provide a chassis to build a PMA into.

I know this is an old thread. I wonder what became of these projects... I mentioned earlier in this thread that we were designing a turbine for the Irish market. At the time there was a derisory feed in tariff of 19c. That became utterly hopeless at just 9c a year or two later. So that scuppered our plans to build turbines - nobody was going to buy them for that sort of feed in tariff.

We now focus on just selling wind inverters and controllers as www.voltsys.com and 98% of our business is overseas. Almost NOTHING happening in Ireland. We still have a stock of generators, blades, rotors etc., if anyone is still interested in making their own. You can have 'em at cost (or less). There is a company in Italy working on our design and producing for the Italian market, so I live in hope. But things very quiet around here...
