The new report KD 760 has been added at the menu KD-reports. The title of this report is: “Ideas about a big direct drive PM-generator for the VIRYA-6.5 windmill using the housing, winding and armature of an 8-pole asynchronous motor frame size 200”. So this PM-generator makes use of the original short-circuit armature. Grooves for the magnets of the north poles are made just in between the aluminium short-circuit bars. The south poles are formed by the remaining material of the armature. The magnet costs are only about € 272 which is very low for a PM-generator of this size.

A new chapter 11 has been added to report KD 341 in which this new generator for the VIRYA-6.5 is described shortly.
