Coil winding video

In 2012, I was building my first axial flux wind turbine alternator. Back then, I did only know the Piggott wind turbine design from the internet. I didn’t even have Hugh’s book, so I just calculated everything myself. I was surprised how well it turned out! 😉
During the construction of the alternator, I developed some ideas for coil winding an made this video. Some ideas from it have already been used by a large community!
For more videos check my YouTube Cannel.
That’s cool. It’s nice to see other people at young age interested in DIY windpower. How did you became interested in this?
Hi Audun,
I’m a technic freak since I was born.
As I started my wind turbine work, I was 13 or 14 years old.
Now I’m almost 19, and my interest is still alive (more than ever).
I don’t have a technical graduation, I learned it by myself
and from other interested people (my friends).
I think thats my life, In near future i want to teach courses like Hugh’s in Austria (where I live),
because we have enough wind but the builder’s scene is small…
From 5 – 12 May i’m at the scoraig workshop with Hugh.
KEEP UP DIY WORKING!!!
Cheers,
Jonathan
Thank you for that videos. Some of operations there were performed more economically than I did before. Educative material.
GREAT way to wind a coil,
Thank you Jonathan
