Report KD 792 can be copied for free from my website at the menu KD-reports. The title of this report is: “Calculations executed for the 3-bladed rotor of the VIRYA-4S windmill (lambda design = 5, stainless steel blades) driving the PM-generator of Magnetic Innovations type 260-75 HS for 48 V battery charging”. The compact radial flux generator of this wind turbine is originally used as a fan motor. At 25-2-2026, a new chapter 7 has been added to KD 792. The title of this chapter is: “Simplification of the spoke assembly”. The triangular sheet is now cancelled. At 27-2-2026 a new chapter 8 has been added to KD 792. The title of this chapter is: “Description of the generator winding”.

KD 750 replaced by KD 791
Report KD 750 about the VIRYA-5R with a 2-bladed rotor made out of Roofmate is cancelled because it is doubted if the rotor can be made strong enough. The new report KD 791 is added titled: “Calculations executed for the 3-bladed rotor of the VIRYA-5B3S windmill (lambda design = 6.5, Gö 711 airfoil, stainless steel blades) meant for connection to the axial flux generator of Hefei Top Grand type TGET450-5KW-300R for grid connection or water pumping”.
At 16-3-2026, chapter 7 of KD 791 about water pumping with the VIRYA-5B3S was completely reviewed.
At 27-3-2026 a new chapter 7 is added to KD 791. The title of this chapter is: “Use of the VIRYA-5B3S for 144 V battery charging”. Water pumping is now described in chapter 8.
KD 377 reviewed
Report KD 377 about the pendulum safety system has been reviewed. The design wind speed Vd has been reduced from 7 m/s up to 6 m/s. Chapter 6.3 describes now an alternative with two rotors. At 26-2-2026 a new chapter 7 has been added to KD 377. The title of this chapter is: “The delta-V curve for whole numbers of V”.
