The Alternator Rotor is the rotating part of our Axial Flux Permanent Magnet Generator (AFPMG). It is a double-sided design with the Stator in the middle. Both discs are identical in the arrangement of the magnets, 12 magnets are glued to each disc in a circular pattern, alternating in polarity. When mounted together, the opposing magnets have reversed polarity to create a magnetic flux. The discs differ in their general design, with the Upwind Magnet Disc providing mounting surfaces and holes for attaching the Blades and Taper Bush. The Taper Bush clamps the shaft orthogonally to the alternator rotor.
