Ernest,
There has been discussion on other sites of
making one specifically for rotary Aviation use. The Amperage is the result
of the number of windings and size of wire and number of poles, from what
was discussed. On some stators there are poles serve a separate function but
can't remember what they did.
I was hoping to stimulate some discussion
between parties with a greater knowledge than mine, I'm afraid I'm
electrically challenged - but I'm working on trying to improve my
knowledge.
From my part, and at this point in time I am
just curious.
I see where you're coming from,
George. IMHO, it not something worth experimenting with. The
winding of a stator isn't to difficult (just extremely tedious), but I look at
it like this. The voltage/current tradeoff is set by the number of wire
turns. The voltage is limited to a nominal 12V in a 12V system.
Marketers don't get anything for declaring that their stator will put out
24V. The only way to win is to get more current. Everyone is will
be studying how to wrap the stator to get the most current at 12V. The
engineers that design these things are smarter than me about these things, and
their living wage depends on them doing a good job. So, I let them do
the tedious job of winding my stator, and I'll just believe them when they say
it is designed to push 35 amps worth of electrons.
