This 3-Phase stator has 12 coils with 36-turns each. It is
designed to be used with 16 magnets on
an 8-inch diameter steel rotor on one side and a blank steel rotor on the other
side, or more power,
use 32
magnets, 16-per-side. You can use 2" x 1/2" block magnets (various
thicknesses and strengths
are available), including our 1/8" thick ones MAGSET-1, or the wedge magnets
offered by
windstuffnow.com.
The AFPMAS-1 stator is only 1/16-inch thick, and can be wired in either the star
or delta
configurations. For higher voltage/RPM or lower resistance & higher current, two
or more
AFPMAS-1 stators can be stacked together, and wired in any combination of
star/delta and/or
series/parallel. One AFPMAS-1 can be rotated with respect to the other so that
when wiring in series,
the connections will not short together. Rotate by three coils
in order to have the same phase, or
rotate only one coil angle and wire to the appropriate coils on the other stator
that line up. Typically,
customers have used 2, 4, and even 8 AFPMAS-1 stators sandwiched together as a
unit between two
rotors with a total of 32 magnets. A stack of 8 is only 1/2-inch thick. Contact us if you would like us to
make the
multiple AFPMAS-1
connections for you in order to make a more powerful stator unit.

We have a large stock of the 2" x 1/2" x 1/8" magnets that we can offer at
good prices. These
are the
same magnets offered by K&J Magnetics. See them at
kjmagnetics.com
or our
MAGSET-1 page. We sell them in multiples of 16 and
the total price per set will
be much less
than the they will cost you from K&J. Note these magnets have
the highest pull force we
could find in this size; Very strong! We have seen some 2" x 1/2" x 1/2-inch thick magnets,
which presumably
have up to 4 times the
magnetic flux, and if so, 4 times the power output.
Contact us if you want some
alternator power tables
to estimate what kind of power you can
expect with various configurations.
We also have the 8-inch steel rotors for making an alternator,
ROTORDISK-1.
Our steel rotors have
optional threaded
holes for inserting three standard 1/4-20 screws for use as jack screws,
ROTORDISK-1TH. You
will find it very difficult to
assemble or disassemble a dual-rotor alternator
without threaded holes and jack screws. In fact, the
magnets are so powerful, you will probably destroy
things if you try to assemble
a dual-rotor alternator
without jack screws. For dual-rotor sets, one has the
threaded holes, and the other doesn't, because
the jackscrews drive against the rotor without the holes,
see ROTORSET-1. If you are using only
one rotor, the jack-screws
are not needed, and you can buy
the rotor without the threaded holes. Keep in
mind that the
most cost-effective alternator, in terms of
power and efficiency
per dollar, will have two rotors instead
of one.
Our rotors also have a machined 1/2-inch keyed center hole.
This is the best way to be sure the rotors
can be mounted straight and tight on the shaft. If a larger shaft is needed, you
can bore out the hole.
You can also get plain
8-inch steel rotors, as well as lots of other handy stuff and
great information
about alternator
construction at
windstuffnow.com. However, our rotors
are cleaner & more
professional looking, we have the keyed center holes, and threaded holes for
jack screws, so our
rotors are well worth a few bucks more.
