Mozda & Rashron
- Mozda: Mozda collective's website
- Mozda Windmill page: contains all files about windmill projects. e.g. schematic of the electrical system( very useful!) and presentation full of pics on the various renewable energy R&D in India. Covers Mozda, Bilgaon, ARTI and others.
- Rashron: maker of pedal power bikes & electric assist kits in India.
Axial Flux Generators
- Hugh Piggots Axial flux windmill plans.
- Axial flux generator for pedal power. michael is using this design.
UIUC Converter Design
- UIUC design: Design files of UIUC guys in pdf format, uploaded on udai website. proposal, presentation, appendix, final report, design review.
Appendix has all the circuits & schematics, is thus most important document for study.
Other converters
- Outback converter MX60 superb 98% efficiencies, 150VDC max input voltage,variable stepdown capability. Its data sheet is here. It has way too many features, hence is costly.
- Other commercial charge controllers apart from Outback. link It also explains what is MPPT. Maximum Power point tracking.
- Blue Sky MPPT charge controller. a cheaper 200$ controller.
- Tim Nolan, an electronics hobbyist, has designed a custom MPPT controller. I am not sure about its relevence to pedal power right now, but is very cheap, and can boost solar array power by 30% Michael say, i should cost around 50$
Learning sites
- Circuit design softwares and Tutorial. It also has many excellent Power electronics books & handbooks.
- Great SMPS design sight with link on DCDC converters
- Pspice tutorials
