Totally Wizard!
Congratulations 🎉 well deserved
Way to go brother keep the awesome content coming
Congrats my man,
Shows how everyone is interested in all you are doing, how you include us and no doubt fully supporting you in your quest… 👌👍👏👏👏👏
Alan big congratulations from Sweden on your hundred thousand followers! Love your projects, keep up the good work!
Great content Alan please keep us updated
I have a feeling with the wind speed at the fortress that alternator won't live that long. Why not gear it appropriately like they are in a car with different size pulleys and a belt. That way the weak link would be the belt and not the alternator. Changing a belt would be easier and cheaper. Just have extra belts on hand. Have the fan on a shaft with a pulley, and a pulley on the alt. to not spin it at 200 MPH, using a belt between the pulleys. Also the little fan on the alternator is there to keep it cool and you removed it. The alternator is going to be smoking hot.
That's a lot of weight from that fan on the shaft and bearings. Separate them.
A wizard's work is never done, may the fortress be with you!🛸
👏👏👏
Haha fun comment! Well done sir 👍🏼😆
Yep good one
What?
How good is it to have a boss who will let you come into work on your own time and do your own projects? A happy employee is a productive employee.
Ever think about using a dodge alternator? Different design you may need...
Sure is nice to have an employer that allows you to use equipment that might not otherwise be available to you. Sure makes many of your jobs easier when you have the right equipment and tools to do the job. Hats off to Dave.
I appreciate people who include their mistakes in their videos. So many try to sneakily jump cut their videos to edit them out. Seasoned people can notice the little differences but the majority of people don't notice. Very few projects are a A to B travel. More like A to B,C,D,E etc travel to the finish line. Mistakes included help others avoid them, and TH-cam should be about passing ones knowledge and mistakes down to others and not about a narcissist afraid to show they make mistakes and cause many others to make the same ones. I can't wait to watch the fort, or castle as I call it lol, be done. Because in a thousand years when it's (re)discovered their archeologist, like ours do today, will "invent" a story to fit their current times narrative, like they do today, and likely call it a castle 😂.
You need to mount your blades on independent shaft with pillow blocks. And then just have alternator mounted on the end . That would have no stress on alternator bearings.
I like the idea.
was just thinking the same thing, set up similar to those big wall mounted vent fans like you see on the side of chicken coops.
Genus, dattgumm genus👏🏻🧐
My mind went to this same concert over direct mount to the generator. Take a load off those rear bearings he's worried about.
Just amazing, and so thankful that Mr David Sparks helps you follow your passion. God bless all of you!!!!
This guy lives the way we all would like to.
I think you should mount the fans on a pillow block and run the generator on a belt, you could put the cooling fan back on the generator for cooler operation, and you could have the fans on bigger bearings. You could also use different sprockets to control the speed the generator spins at.
I agree with that its going to nock the bearings out pretty fast.
Just spining is a lot of stress let alone the wind coming from slightly different angles all at once. I love the idea and how u are doing it keep up the great work Alan 😊🇬🇧
If it's not to late, I'd recommend a 3/4 X 1/16 inch end mill countersink to make your mounting plate fit flush to the alternator face ... spacer, washer, OEM alternator fan, wind fan, and locktite/impact tight alternator nut.
Your wind fan won't provide enough cooling when the alt is full field.
A 200 Amp Lecee Neville alternator would be ideal (but expensive).
It’s fascinating to watch you, one can just see the cogs turning in your brain as you decide what to do, how, and why. ❤️🙏
You really are a wizard. I wish i had 1/10 of your knowledge and capabilities. Awesome to watch you work on your fortress, what an amazing place that will be once finished.
Your talent amazes me. I was used to watching MEN like you working like this in days gone by. Men like you are far and few in between anymore.
Alan seems like the kinda guy you could have a cherry pepsi with
Lol
Sealed roller bearings might be the ticket. Always enjoy what you're up too.
I can barely pump gas into my car. Much respect.
Looking forward to seeing this project up and running! You’re super close to 100k, congrats!
Hope your able to resume working on the fortress soon.
That machine is going to have a beautiful hum when it gets going. Can't wait to see it installed.
You are a national treasure. In the world that's coming I envision many mountain fortresses but yours is definitely going to be the best.
I wish I knew 1/4 of what you do Alan! Just watching your brain tick is so entertaining!
Love these vids, wish you well and hope for many more!
These are the Technical and problem solving skills that people need to have to do these kinda projects and not just run to the store and buy expensively pre-made stuff
No one should care about the music in the background. It’s crazy how quick people are to judge. Be kind, one love brother. 🙏🏼
It’s not people. It’s computers and copyright.
If the blocks you will be attaching it to are not yet laid, you could get c-channel, turn the bloc upside down on top of the c-channel, fill it with cement and have the cement fill up the c-channel shape as well, then you have it as a perfect fit and also strengthen the block you will be attaching it to. or you could do the same in an existing wall just have the cement on top that the c-channel fits over while it dries. Fun video in any case.
We're all interested in your progress, thanks for the update.
Shaft is too short. Now where have I heard that before?
Its the bane of every man's existence.
Man you really are like a one-legged man in an ass-kicking contest. It's it's good to watch what y'all been up to Allan...thanks for sharing!
Good beautiful morning brother hope y'alls having a great safe blessed week 🙏. Time for some wizard work 😊
Alan your, have a great new week comment reminds my kids and i, when every morning before school when i see/saw them i would say "have a great day". From one Alan and friends to another Alan. On a side note been great to watch you and your content grow and mature.
Can't wait to see the final part of the wind turbine. That is so nice, Allen
Great vidyah! Keep up the good work!🙏🏻👍
Awesome! Looking forward to see the turbines installed :)
Pinching the two turbine plates together, maybe bolts with rounded heads and squared first half inch between head and threaded bolt. Then make that plate side square bolt holes, and the turbine holes as well.
PS. As of writing, it's 99,7K subs on this channel. Great job, Alan!!!! :D
its grate too see the Kids running a muck in the back ground. makes it more homely.
Humans love brilliant engineering. Never stop sharing and fund YOUR dreams fren. ⚡
Fun to watch your process. Using your mind to conquer matter.
Loving the content.keep them coming partner.
Be safe and take it easy thanks for the update sir👊🙏😎
Like how the wizard is old school he isn't using battery powered tools he is using good old ratchet and a wrench right on brother. Keeping it real 😊. Can't wait to see them in action. This ol world needs more friends like Dave and Dave. Great friend letting ya use the shop and material's they are a blessing brother 🙏
That explains the re upload of the last one. I think it's daft that background music affects monitising. TH-cam used to be great.
Keep up the good work wizard
Great share Alan. Can't wait to see it spinning on the mountain. Your dedication and hard work is inspirational.
Allen calls it the wind generators, but I think he's making some kind of Zombie apocalypse defense system with the spinny blades
Very interesting, even tho I really don't know anything about this sort of thing. It's just fascinating to me to see other ppls ways, thots, actions and processes to accomplish goals! Not forgetting the determination and persistence and hard work this man displays! Wizard Alan!
Congratulations Allan! The Wizard @100K!!!
Looking good Mr Alan!! I can't wait to see them installed!!
Can't wait for the next video
goldening from down under Allen looking forward to see it up and running mate your putting in some hard work on it but worth it
Thanks for the update. I can't wait to see this bad boy in action.
Hang in there Alan and just keep being you man your cool
that was the quickest 40 mins it was super interesting less than 300 to go dude so congrats on your soon to be 100k
After the release of your last video, many of us were questioning our memory. Feeling deja vu. Glad you mentioned why the video was released again. Maybe put that in the description if there is a next time.
you are a very smart man. keep doing what you do. I'll keep watching.
You are a wizard just like Edison.
Fantastic job! With all variables considered, very efficient! 👍
Congrats Allen you just Hit 100 K on you're Channel .
Allan: If you're not going to balance the prop assembly first, you are better of running the generator off a belt/chain driven pulley. The bearings in that gen will not put up with a poorly balanced prop, and at 200mph airspeed, it would likely be a catastrophic failure. I'm thinkin' you've gotta balance that assembly, first & foremost.
SUM rugrats in the background....... HAHHah AH. Alan, love yah man.
Hey wizard! Your Great! Just like Tony the Tiger!
Thumbs up 👍 almost at 100K 99.7 and climbing!
Looks like a new hat buddy! 😊
🤠 You are a clever clever man, pleasure to watch. Well done - Tim
Alan you should use a fan to force air through the alternator for cooling the alternator
Looking good Alan
Stoked to see this all come together.
Ur a good friend working man wizard keep up the good work from terry stony mountai,Manitoba Canada
Keep up, Alan ! You're the dude !
Another great educational video from Allen!
The fact that you let the kids play and make noise while you do your videoing, makes this one of the best around! Patience of steel
Doc Alan at work
I can’t wait to see it all come together!
Booger ain’t gonna live long enough.
Always thought you could stack those with that idea and generate more power back-to-back generators
Have a great day. Thanks for sharing
almost a thousand subs there young man......great vid......
Love the family in the background! Nice place to work! Thank you for sharing!
Can’t wait to see it operating!
I like the looks of your design but the weight and RPM on those small bearings is what I question . What about jack shafts or write angle drive boxes similar to the well pumps you see on the old westerns ? That way the alternator would have very little bearing stress and any connections could be easy to access . You could also use any size DC motor with an inverter . Can't wait to see how it turns out .👍
Wizard, love to ya from Australia! I used to do small projects alot with my dad, when I was growing up. He showed me how to do alot with bits and pieces. I want to thank you for reminding me, and also showing what I can get back into, that I had forgotten. I love ur work Alan!
Hope things are working out lots better!
6:55 Holy Slopped out vice bro!!!!

To err is human, to asmit to it and carry on is the true mark af a specal human being
Those blades don’t look tough enough but I don’t know I can see it close ! As fast as that wind goes up there that may cut firewood also !! Sure wanna see them work !
Mad Skills !
Bet it’s been a great help to be able to use the workshop with all the tools, facilities and resources available to you 👍
Great work Alan.
