Hello Guys,

I need provide power to remote electronic next to fluid tanks. I am studying tesla generator, that uses coils and magnetos but I dont know for where start theoretical design.
Anybody have a material with relationship numbers of coils, magnetos, dimensions and power generated?

I will make a prototype and we can validate calculations.

This is a exemple of tesla generator -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eC4swOYYuTQ

Tnx Very much.
 

Do you plan to power a turbine via fluid flowing from the tanks?

The fellow in the video forces water from a hose into his homemade turbine to spin it at high speed. This is one way to do it, as long as you have tools that allow precise work. To build a spinning armature requires that you be able to balance it, center the axis, etc.

His gadget looks like an AC generator. I'm pretty sure sure it's not the same as Tesla's turbine.

As for what kind of generator you might make...

Consider attaching a turbine to a cassette motor (or other small DC motor). It is no less efficient than anything you or I could build from spare parts. It will generate sufficient power to light two bright white led's, same as in the Youtube video.
 
Hi Brad,
sorry for confused topic.
when I made this topic I haven't studied enough about what I need.
I want make an AC generator similar to video, but I don´t know how project the coils.
I search informations about how calculate numbers of coils, number of turn in coils, geometry of coils and etc.

All videos and tutorial show empirical generators, and I need any more calculated.

Tnx very much
 

As usual, the magnetic path from the N of the magnet through the coil and back to the magnets south pole is rather dubious. "Proper" generators have very small air gaps and a large amount of metal to make sure that the magnetic field runs through iron not air. Air is like putting a resistor in a conventional circuit.
