About this model
This is a working hand cranked power generator. The rotor, in the picture, spins up to 1500 rpm, and produce about 30 watts. I recommend building the rotor as seen in the fbx-file, for more power. Needless to say – this is a huge print! Minimum 200+ hours.... On the hardware side you need 96 neodymium magnets (25mm diameter x 10mm), about 1,3kg of enameled copper wire, preferably six steel plates, a pile of nuts & bolts, electronics - including an Arduino nano, display, bridge rectifier(s), diodes, capacitors, resistors, voltage regulators etc. If you want to etch the PCB yourself, you will need a blank 160mm x 100mm copper board and your preferred chemicals. Real-time model: Video: Until I release a set of instructions, consider this a work of art ;)
