Need alternator for ‘Seapower’ 5kw AC generator?

The 1988 seapower AC unit has a shorted stator winding, and the manufacturer no longer supports it. There suggestion is to purchase a new alternator of the new style which is rather cost prohibitive at this point. If someone has a used replacement or another alternative, I would be extremely grateful

can you post a picture of it, and I need to know the size of the pully, and the didstance between the two mounting brackets. I might have one on hand.

1999 European Wind Energy Conference: Wind Energy for the Next Millenium: Proceedings of the European Wind Energy Conference, Nice, France, 1-5 March 1999 $243.22 The 1999 European Wind Energy Conference and Exhibition was organized to review progress, and to present and discuss the wind energy business, technology and science for the future.The Proceedings contain a selection of over 300 papers from the conference. They represent a significant update to the understanding of this increasingly important field of energy generation and cover a full range of topics including:* aerodynamics and aeroacoustics * aeroelasticity, loads and safety * large wind turbines, new designs and offshore * liberalized electricity market, integration and experience * manufacturers’ presentations of their latest developments and commercial machines * national programmes, environmental issues and standards * power performance, testing and strength * power quality, earthing, lightning, multipole generators and adaptive control systems * wind diesel systems, hydrogen production, desalination and wind pumps * wind modelling and short-term prediction * wind resourcesThe proceedings will be essential reading for all those in the wind industry, for energy policy makers, planners and for anyone involved in wind energy research.

Diy Open Source: Small Wind Turbine $9.8 Purchase includes free access to book updates online and a free trial membership in the publisher’s book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: Small wind turbines are wind turbines which have lower energy output than large commercial wind turbines, such as those found in wind farms. These turbines may be as small as a fifty watt generator for boat, caravan, or miniature refrigeration unit. Small units often have direct drive generators, direct current output, aeroelastic blades, lifetime bearings and use a vane to point into the wind. Larger, more costly turbines generally have geared power trains, alternating current output, flaps and are actively pointed into the wind. Direct drive generators and aeroelastic blades for large wind turbines are being researched. Small wind turbines added a total of 17.3 MW of generating capacity throughout the United States in 2008, according to the American Wind Energy Association (AWEA). That growth equaled a 78% increase in the domestic market for small wind turbines, which are defined as wind turbines with capacities of 100 kW or less. AWEA’s “2009 Small Wind Global Market Study”, published in late 2009 May, credited the increase in part to greater manufacturing volumes, as the industry was able to attract enough private investment to finance manufacturing plant expansions. It also credited rising electricity prices and greater public awareness of wind technologies for an increase in residential sales. But a poll of small wind manufacturers found that the growth in 2008 might be only a glimmer of things to come, as the companies projected a 30-fold growth in the U.S. small wind market within as little as five years, despite the global recession. The U.S. small wind industry also benefits from the global market, as it controls about half of the global market share. U.S. manufacturers garnered $77 million of the $156 million that was spent throug… More:
