Hi,
It is no more really a project because it already exist like you can see on the video. But this small generator is only a try to verify my capacity to make this kind of thing before to make a bigger one. It was also to make a little power bench to test my Stirling engines and the efficiency of the modifications I make on them. So the reason why I wanted to make an homemade generator is that I have the project to make a homemade windmill. And I have too the project to make a CHP system with a stirling engine and wood heating. Since 2009 I try to make a good (and not expensive) Stirling engine but it is hard to achieve this goal. I progress slowly. I work on this subject only in winter. I have no time the rest of the year.
The video show the making of the generator, the test and the power graph. I made this generator entirely empirically. I relied on the results of this one to calculate the next one by extrapolation.
