I had the afternoon off so I dragged the old coilwinder out and put in 3 inhand of 1.6 same amount of tuns this completly fulls my stattor (and some) with copper the old stattor only had 2 inhand of the same wire
As im rebuilding this im thinking of how im going to make it live the next big wind it gets one idear is to make it furl even earler another thought was to put a lock in the full furl position like the old water pumpers ?
Also i thought i might try another coil shape not sure which is best i will find out soon enough.
I think I'd be tempted to start the rebuild with a set of 3m blades and only move up to the 4m blades once the rest of the system bugs have been ironed out.
I think the yaw bearing slipring/brushes may have to go though - the new coils will have the potential to push well over 100 amps and I don't think even the really good construction of the sliprings you have will handle it.
I recall that you increased the forward offset quite a lot so thats probably OK - perhaps a different blade profile that stalls harder in high winds will help with the spring-time nor-westers.
I've got a new version of the software for the controller ready - nothing critical but it does tidy up a couple of things in the logging and introduces the idea of the self discharge of the battery bank by about 5% per week. Hopefully it will track the bank charge a bit better then.
