3 phase alternator.
any good links to*** is what I meant in the title

Does it matter for the alternator?

If you are willing to use existing hardware, used 3ph industrial motors are cheap. You can load them and use them as generators.
I wouldn't think so.Qaiphyx said:would it not be more inexpensive to build it myself?
Designing a turbine for an alternator requires understanding the power needs and desired output of your project. Start by calculating the required power output and researching different turbine designs to determine the best fit. Consider factors such as blade size, number of blades, and rotation speed.
The materials needed for a turbine and 3 phase alternator will vary depending on the design and size of your project. However, common materials include metal or PVC pipes for the turbine blades, a generator motor, and basic hardware such as bolts and screws. It is important to research and plan out the materials needed before starting the build process.
To ensure the proper functioning of the alternator, it is important to follow the design and build instructions carefully. Make sure all components are securely connected and that the turbine blades are properly aligned. It is also important to test the alternator under different wind conditions to ensure its efficiency.
Yes, you can use a different type of alternator for your turbine as long as it is compatible with the turbine design and has the necessary power output. However, it is important to note that using a different alternator may require some adjustments to the design and build process.
To increase the efficiency of your turbine and alternator, you can consider factors such as the size and shape of the blades, placement of the turbine, and the type of alternator used. Additionally, regular maintenance and monitoring of the system can help identify any issues that may be affecting efficiency.
