Alternator
Abstract
A brushless alternator that consists of interconnected stator coils of
copper wire dispersed in screws and surrounding the main core of
the rotor. The rotor is an iron shaft with a wooden block supported
within the housing of the alternator, and includes 4 circular
neodymium magnets attached on four sides of the block. The
fundamental working principle of electrical generator is Faraday's
law of mutual induction and the basic function is the conversion of
motion into electricity. This model generates an AC output.

Objective
Conduct an investigation on the working principle of a simple
generator and then build your own environmental friendly generator

How It Works?
A mechanical motion is needed in order for the generator to convert
it to electrical energy. Providing this motion requires that either a
magnetic field is generated and a wire coil is rotated within it, or a
How it is made:
magnetic field is rotated within a stationary coil. When the Stator
magnetic field is rotated within the stator coils, all of the electrons
within the wire start to move in one direction and form a current. As
the coil of wire spins, it moves across the electric field first in one
direction and then in another, which changes the direction of the
flow of electrons. This constantly changing nature of the current
provides its name of an alternating current. This alternating current
is useful because it can easily be made into a stronger or weaker
current. The AC-voltage produced by the stator coil are mostly
connected directly to a rectifier or a regulator module to convert
the AC-outputs into DC-outputs. 1)Twelve screws were inserted through the twelve holes drilled
through the container.

2)The red screws represent group A,the blue screws represent

Future Improvements: group B while the yellow screws represent group C.Each
group had its own winding coils.The plus sign (+) represents
+ More windings which would result in higher output
the clockwise direction and the minus sign (-) represents the
+ Instead of the wooden block, a lighter material would be used
anticlockwise direction in which the coils were wound around
the screws.
Advantages Over Brush Alternator:
1. Low interference: No spark generated when the alternator is running. ROTOR
2. Low noise and smooth operation: Friction is greatly reduced with the
absence of a brush and a more stable output is produced with less noise.
3. High Longevity with low maintenance costs: The main wear is on the
bearing. From a mechanical point of view, it is an almost maintenance-free
alternator. 3)The shaft was inserted through the wooden block which had its
four sides epoxied with neodymium magnets and was placed
Bigger Scale Applications within the stator.
- Electrical supply to home
- Used in automobiles engine to charge the battery and power the electrical
system
