3D printed axial flux alternator with poured in place structure

This is a high-performance alternator engineered for maximum voltage output at low revolutions per minute, capable of delivering exceptional torque at reduced speed. I'm still working on it, and my availability to assist may be restricted due to other commitments. I aim to release an upgraded version soon, featuring a new turbine design that integrates seamlessly with the existing system. This platform showcases my upcoming turbine design, which will be available in the near future. I wanted to make it accessible to anyone with a budget-friendly FDM printer for testing purposes. As I couldn't find a commercial unit capable of producing the necessary volts at low startup speed for my control system, I had to develop my own. One of the innovative aspects is my use of poured-in-place structures and pretensioned wire reinforcement. This approach hasn't been widely seen before, but it's an excellent way to leverage inexpensive printers to create strong and cost-effective parts. As an out-runner design, this alternator also presents potential as a drone motor. With multiple units connected to the same shaft, counter-rotating props become simple to implement.
