"Im not an electrician". Says the guy who successfully builds a modular electric generator on his first try

I love Robert Murray-Smith's videos. Not only is his love of the subject of his videos infectious, he consistently covers genuinely interesting and useful subject matter. It's impossible not to become even more enthusiastic about the wonderful, nerdy stuff I already loved when watching him discuss it. I actually found your channel as a recommendation under one of his!

Please do not stop updating. I am very interested with this project and would love to see more updates in the future.

One thing to also try for efficiency is to shift the angle of each stator by a few degrees so that each coil reaches its peak at a different angle of rotation. This will distribute the voltage ripple and smooth out the electrical "cogging" influence, similar to 3ph but with many more phases in-between.

Thank you for all you do! Can’t wait to see more. Rob is one of my favorite also. He’s a wealth of knowledge
-
Let's get you some more money! This is going to be a game-changer. Well done, very well done.
-
I really like your stackable generator design. It could be used to make generators with customizable outputs, which is very cool.
-
Thanks for sharing this. As a retired Electrical & Electronics Engineer I found this fascinating and admire your approach in your endeavours to produce a working design from your experimentation. I look forward to watching your future episodes of this project.
-
Super cool, my friend. I've always wanted to play with power generation, and now you've only increased that desire!
-
I have absolutely no experience but have had the stackable generator in my head for years. Run by weights like a coo coo clock. Awesome to see it coming together.
-
As a magnet and electromagnet enthusiast/lover/enjoyer, this was quite satisfying to watch. I have been subbed to Murry for many years, but his videos don't grab me as much as ones like this. Never the less, the man is an absolute unit of knowledge and a gem for those of us who love magnets!
-
I loved the update and your enthusiasm and tenacity! Well done indeed!
-
i did your gen on paper a long time ago seeing this i wish i built it, good for you bubby
-
So glad to see you still working, looking forward to your more complete design Thanks for sharing

A really cool technique I was taught when I was young. Take a good dry 4x4, drill some anchor bolts with common top thread that's in your eyelet size, throw a nut, washers and your eyes, sandwich it, and you have effectively a long project board that you can throw on the bench, and reuse, time and time again. I had one through my teens that was used on so many generator projects when I was convinced I was going to charge batteries off of our Old Creek

Nice. I'm currently finishing up my first axial flux wind generator using Rob's videos and STLs. Your information on rectification was very helpful, made it look very easy with the simple 'twist it together' approach. If my first attempt works out, I'll have to have a proper think about attempting something modular like this. Very smart approach.

I’ve been subscribed for a while and appreciate all that you do, and kudos to you for mentioning Robert Smith- he is one of my favorites. Keep up the good work!
-
Cool project. I recommend to go for 24v system or more. There is a cheap and good 300w MPPT boost controller, with the blue label on it. So it makes it a lot easier to charge on variable speed.
-
I love that you mentioned robert murray smith. That dude is just the best.

This is phenomenal man. I've been working on a stackable generator as a side project, but haven't gotten my new stator/rotor design up yet (or my first stack) so I still didn't know if it was a good path to take. This is very validating and the serpentine coil is going to save me loads of time. Thanks for posting this!
