I have come to realize it is extremely difficult to find a commercially available generator or alternator that can be converted correctly into two phases 90° apart.
Even by mixing and matching rotors and stators, it also proves to be extremely difficult to find the right combination that will fit.
I seek a stator that has double the amount of coils then magnets in the rotor. So the following combinations may be acceptable.
Four coils with two magnets
Eight coils with four magnets
12 coils with six magnets
16 coils with eight magnets
Etc.
And designing a generator from scratch is possible, but could be a challenge to ensure that the sine waves are neat and correct. The dimensions and spacing of the magnets must be properly selected to ensure proper alignment with the stator coils that we will be using. So the design entails buying specific magnets to match a stator in which to make the rotor with, or designing a custom core configuration for the stator to match the rotor configuration.
I may have found a commercially available pair that will do what we seek, but I will have to wait till delivery to see if they are truly compatible. But the options for such are very slim pickings.
