Re: Controlling load of the generator

Thing is that I am looking at permanent magnet alternators for a generator in my project, so I am not sure where to fit flux leakage.

And I am looking at crossflow turbine which has the best efficiency at same rpm no matter how much water comes trough it. Thats why I meant that I have constant voltage at diffrent power levels.

I didnt really mean to store the energy in the cap, only transfer it trough. As far as I am guessing the cap connected directly to a small generator running at some rpm would only charge with the current that the generator is able to supply, although it would want to with the current that is directly proportional to the voltage divided by resistance of the loop.

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.

Share the love!
