Selection of material for wind generator

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around the construction of a wind electricity generator and the selection of materials. The original poster seeks clarity on the use of materials, particularly regarding the role of hysteresis loops in understanding magnetic properties. It is noted that there is no such thing as a copper magnet, which makes the comparison between steel and copper in terms of magnet efficiency irrelevant. Instead, the use of rare-earth magnets is suggested for improved efficiency, although the cost-effectiveness of this choice is questioned. The conversation emphasizes the importance of selecting the right materials for optimal generator performance.

sir i am tying to make a wind electricity generator, but i am confused about selection of material that i have to use for the project.
can hysterisis loop help me? how? what the graph will show to me?
please explain. the use of steal magnet will make my generator light and more efficient or copper will make it so?:rolleyes:

I'm a bit confused by the question. Do you mean that you're actually building the generator itself rather than just incorporating a pre-made one into your design?
Anyhow, there's no such thing as a copper magnet, so that part of the question doesn't really apply. You could use rare-earth magnets for better efficiency, but I don't expect that the return would be worth the expense.
 
Hello! I've been brainstorming on how to prevent a lot of ferrofluid droplets that are in the same container. This is for an art idea that I have (I absolutely love it when science and art come together) where I want it to look like a murmuration of starlings. Here's a link of what they look like: How could I make this happen? The only way I can think of to achieve the desired effect is to have varying droplet sizes of ferrofluid suspended in a clear viscous liquid. Im hoping for the...
Hello everyone! I am curious to learn how laboratories handle in-house chip manufacturing using soft lithography for microfluidics research. In the lab where I worked, only the mask for lithography was made by an external company, whereas the mold and chip fabrication were carried out by us. The process of making PDMS chips required around 30 min–1 h of manual work between prepolymer casting, punching/cutting, and plasma bonding. However, the total time required to make them was around 4...
