Week 3: 4/13/15 Generator Design and Calculation

Week 3
4/13/15

Generator design: Two generators in series, each including 4 magnets and one wire coil.
Each magnet size is 1in*3in. Coil size is 4cm*6.5cm. 18 gauge wire will be used, 96 turns needed for each coil and the cross section should be fit in 10mm*10mm square.

Possible idea:

  • Epoxy might be used for supporting and connection.
  • In order to stabilize the output voltage, a capacitor might be added to the electrical system.
  • The material of coil core can be iron to increase the permeability.
