Using the 175 alternator for 110 power |

It just so happens that the Seagull 175 alternator if turned by |
|
an engine at 600 rpm will put out a nice sine wave, 110 volts |
|
and 60 hz. Or 220 volts at 60 hz. Or two AC lines of 110 volts |
|
60 hz in synch. At 10 amps this would be a kw of power and |
|
require about 1.5 hp input. |
|
A wind turbine isn't going to turn at a constant 600 rpm but |
|
some other means of controlling speed at 600 rpm would work. If |
|
you plugged in a radio or blender, or light it would put a load |
|
on the alternator and speed would need to be kept at 600 rpm. |
|
No load and it will just free spin like a flywheel. |
|
This would be perfect for hydro. |

hmmm this seems to be a high voltage for the number of turns. |
|
From the US-VAWT page I cannot seem to get it near those |
|
voltages ! ....Strange. |

Voltage is linear with rpm and so is hz. At 60 rpm hz is 6 and |
|
voltage peaks are about 10.7 |
|
Multiply those by 10 (at 600 rpm) So the hz will be 60 and the |
|
peak to peak voltage will be about 110. |
|
For fun I used the 175 alt and the boost and the 24 volt |
|
connections. A moderate turn lights a 6 watt LED nicely. Very |
|
little effort to make that much light. |

24v is more efficient i agree with lynx..as is 220v |
