This group is dedicated to the Axial Flux Permanent Magnet Alternator,
as designed by Hugh Piggott, with additional development by Dan Fink
and Dan Bartmann of Otherpower, Steve Spence of Green-Trust and Jim
Juczak of Woodhenge.
This alternator uses rotating magnets and a fixed stator with handwound
3 phase coils. This design is applicable to wind, water, engine, even
human and animal power.
Details can be found in January - August 2005 issues of Back Home
Magazine, and in Hugh's PMG construction document. Additional info can
also be found in ESSN Magazine. See the links section for details on
the wind turbine we built using this design.
Join us in the development of this technology, and find better, cheaper
ways to make your own power.
