Does anuyone know where i can get hold of cheep permanent magnet generators
and gear systems for increasing revolutions un the UK? I can find a few in
the US but the shipping is almost as much as the generator its self.

I know of a group that is trying to increase revolutions in the middle
east. Don't know when they plan to start trying in the UK.
um i don;t think i explained it correctally i was watching a program, the
other day and this guy (the 1 that invented the clockwork radio) just coved
in to a house down cornwall and to power his house or at least some of it he
built a water wheel which only only turned at about 60 revs a minute he then
attached that to a 1-44.2 geer system which was something salvaged from
another machine it was at least 10 years old if not older and then atached
tat output to the generator and i want to try something simalart just minus
the water wheel. at a push i know a few people in the dockyard that with a
bit of persuation could build me a gear system but it would be expensive but
the generator i know wuill have to be new but i have no idea what suppliers
there are.

You mean the programme "it's hard being green" ? That's not Trevor Bayliss fwiw.

He's not using a permanent magnet generator IIRC. There's a field coil powered
from a battery I think ( which then gets recharged from the outout of the
generator ). Probably just a normal alternator actually.

I have seen some permanent magnet alternators for home construction though. A
guy working on wind power in Scotland published his design online.

If you can't be bothered to communicate your question clearly, why should anyone else feel
the need to give you a constructive answer. The way you posed your question gives us leave
to wonder if you truly know which end of hammer to hold.

It's more the case that I couldn't even begin to work out what on earth you
meant !

How big do you want? What voltage and current rating?
You can use an automotive heater fan motor, an automotive radiator fan
motor, or even a permanent magnet starter motor.
A windscreen wiper motor also works, and has a built in gear drive -
as does a power window motor if you are looking for low voltage and
relatively low power output.

A treadmill motor works for higher output voltage and power.

i;m looking at anythi g that gives about 12 volts at 3 amps but higher is
better as i want to start with some small tests around the home but move on
to using it for several things at once whick means i will need it to
produce more evectricty as i start to use it for more things i can always
not use it to it's fll potential at first but if i want to expand then i
don;t want to have to get anotther after second hand ones are a good iea but
ut us hard to get secondhand parts over her cause all the working ones are
usually whiped up by rtepair copmpanys and as soon as they are available.

maybe not everyone here is a stuck-up twit this is supposed to be about
helping each other and promoting ideas it isn;t supposed to be about
people moaning about others comunication skills. i amended the problem but
i have had some direct emals from people that did understand what i was
refering to.

it would have been more polite to ask me to just reitterate then to
complain about my comunication skills i am wprking on them but my skills
have never been that way inclines but if you look through history some of
the best skilled workers couldn't read or write and some still can't so
please excuse me or being one of these people.

For 12 volts you want a 24 volt or higher DC permanent magnet motor. I
have a few DC servo motors that would do the trick, but they are in
Canada and pretty heavy. Tape drive motors like the Ametec units also
work good and were widely available as surplus. Your best bet,
currently, is likely a treadmill motor, but if you are in a 2220 volt
area the output will be higher than 12 volts!!

Ok - I didn't recall the name exactly.

and it is Richatd
'Dick' Strawbridge and his family. this is the acompanying website

Yes, that's the one I had in mind. He didn't invent the wind-up radio though.


I didn't know about that. Thanks for the link.

The programme's been very interesting in many different ways.

What did you think this was ?

Looks to me like a concise request for a clarification.

Good communications ability is a vital skill btw. Ignore the need for it at your
peril.

ok I will aploagise for the fact that I got the wrong person I only found
out about the program cause my counsin mentioned that he was watching it all
come together as he lives about 5 mins from the farm.I have found that he
didn;t invent that but he was on scrapheap chalange and I shuld have
remembered him from there.

I have just purchased the acompaning book that has more detail about what
they did on the show. It is available in hardback and paperback, the
hardback that I bought was £11.99 i think and that is reduced from it's full
proce of £18.99 and that was from amazon.co.uk

My comunication skills are improving sligtly I have only taken english at
gcse level (I did progress to college on a microcomputer course) and I must
admit that I did do porly in my english exams but at present I am not in any
state to go back into education for that though I am working towards it.

Thank you very much for that information I will take it into consideration
if you do find any more information or anything else I can use I would love
to hear.
