      hi Gerald,

      I am not sure why you only did 90 turns per coil. It is supposed to be 140 turns for the 12V turbine, using 16 AWG wire (6 footer american version). Maybe this accounts for the low output. Or the magnet rotors are too far apart as well perhaps? Magnets are supposed to be 1/2″ thick too. But 90 turns is certainly too few for this project.

      cheers
      Hugh
