    The generator in my small wind turbine is based on this one:

    My bigger wind turbine is similar to the standard 'wheel hub' design. I machined the hub from 120mm steel bar and shaft from 80mm steel bar myself though to get higher accuracy for the magnet rotor disks and keep the weight down, this video shows it in the pictures at the end:
