3D printed axial flux alternator with poured in place structure

This is a high-voltage alternator engineered for low-rpm operation with impressive torque capabilities. It's designed to function effectively at low speeds. https://youtu.be/dP6IDNl5-wg The project remains a work in progress, and my availability for support may be constrained. I anticipate releasing an upgraded version with integrated new turbine design within the next few weeks. This platform is intended as a testing ground for my upcoming turbine design, which will be made available soon. My aim was to provide a low-cost FDM printing solution for anyone interested in participating. Initially, I couldn't find a commercial unit that could produce the required voltage for my control system at the low startup speed of my turbine, so I developed one myself. One of the most notable aspects is the use of poured-in-place structure and pretensioned wire reinforcement. This approach allows for the creation of extremely strong yet inexpensive parts using readily available printers. It's an innovative method that hasn't been widely adopted before. As it features an out-runner design, this alternator may also be suitable as a drone motor. Moreover, multiple units can operate on a single shaft, making counter-rotating props relatively simple to implement.
