Hi All
For someone just starting out with wind generators it all might seem very daunting as it was for myself over 2 years ago when I first discovered this web site. I started with the F&P Smartdrive as my alternator and a design I came up with to easily mount 2 stators using the original bearing housing, a design that has not changed very much and has proven it's self through many a blow.
What I have refined is the chassis ( nacelle ) , blade hub ( collet mount ) , tail and pivot. All this combined with the aluminium blade system that Glenn had a major part in designing has lead too where the "dual" is at today. I have always been in the belief that if you are going to go to the lengths to put a windmill on a tower then why put one stator when 2 is just as easily achievable and doubles the output. The components are all shown below in the pictures and are available individually, partly finished or as a complete mill.
As development of this design continues, eg, I get another brain storm, changes are made and always for the better.
I have decided to call this little back yard business Oz Ax Wind Engineering, the eventual direction that I plan on heading in. At present I am designing a kit based on the axial flux generator that I recently built which will be called Oz Ax 300 ( 300mm diameter alternator ) and also a larger Oz Ax 400 ( 400mm diameter ). These should only be considered by those who can use the large amount of power generated by this type of generator, but dollar for watt they are the winner. Hopefully this will become a reality within the next few months and I'll update this page as news come to hand.
Below are some links to some of my pursuits over the past...
