Well got a reply back on Feildlines and 2awg or 35sqmm will be enough as the wid AC will be at a lower current than the DC. So when I'm down town this week I will go have a look at the scrap yards also go see my mate in the Bridge as those old dry cells can go which can offset the cost.
Once I get my sectional roller project finished I'll start on this 4Kw project as still got a heap to make like slip rings, the main steel frame, source and mount the disk brake etc. Also got to workout a solution where a solenoid can force the oil to brake the blades in high winds.
As this genny is going to be a down wind one with no tail that disk brake will be the key to the blades lasting the test of time.
