Diggity100 Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 Is it true that, if you have a wind turbine rotor, you can't generate more power, by redesigning the generator with more sets of coils and magnets?? If this is true, why?? (It might be an obvious answer, but I'm not an expert at all when it comes to electronics :) ) Thanks a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Weddle Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 Wind turbine rotors are manufactured to perform the best at which they are designed for. They probably utilize the best in electromagnetics and mechanical technology. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indulis Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 Power is power... it's not a question of the generator, but rather "the wind". For example (silly perhaps), in a hurricane you could Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Tsekenis Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 The output power of a wind generator is a function of wind speed, blade design and number of blades,dimensions, air temperature and efficiency of the generator and the system as a whole.You can increase the power output if you increase the efficiency of the generator. This cone be done with more powerful magnets yes (Faraday's law). I am not so sure about the number of coils though...Whatever the case, the companies that designed the motors have already thought of these things.
