Thanks for the reply. Here's a photo of the bought generator. The wire here is real thin as well. This photo is from online. The one I have seems to have even thinner wire but does well for the power output I need.

Hey everybody, So I've decided to try and make a copper wire magnet generator (real small) for part of my senior design project. If I can get this to work I can potentially reduce my fixture significantly. Anyways, I purchased some real small wind turbine generators off the shelf to play with...

Thanks for the help. I've done research on theory and how to develop at home generators and more complex ones. I've google searched all kinds of things but I just can't find one small enough

I only need about 3W. The generator I have gives me a voltage of roughly 13v with an amperage of about 4. So in theory I should have about 52W of power but it seems to good to be true, especially for its size. Thanks, Kyle

Hey everyone, New to the site and I'm liking what I've come across so far but I'm having some trouble with a project of mine. I'm an ME by trade but this is definitely more of an electrical engineering problem. I need to make a small turbine generator that operates in a water wheel type design...
