I am building an Axial Flux (10kw) wind turbine generator. Has anybody out there built one of these before. If so what are the pitfalls to look out for.
Personally, I've not had any experience with AFPMs, but there are a large number of resources out there to assist you in this endeavor. Here are some links to guide you along:
ww.nrel.gov/docs/legosti/fy98/24996.pdf (research on AFPM)
www.otherpower.com/guemes_notes.html
www.windenergy.nl/website/ files/artikelen/AXIAL_FLUX_HowItWorks.pdf
Hope this helps. Good luck.
