- I have put the STL files and more info here
www.thingiverse.com/thing:616...
and the stl files for the generator section are here
www.thingiverse.com/thing:616...
the generator build video is here • 1931 A More Powerful A... - วิทยาศาสตร์และเทคโนโลยี
Best uploader EVER. Witty, on point and explains nicely. I can watch his videos instead of Netflix and laugh, learn, gasp and bite my nails
That really goes. You scared the heck out of me. All that "plastic" moving at high speeds and you standing less than a meter from it. Holy Hannah.
lol - just think if it was razor blades mate -then you need to worry - lolol
I'm sure there was no real risk here given the short duration and the freshly printed blades, but I was a bit scared too!
Mass produced wind turbines are usually placed many meters away from occupied buildings because when those blades come apart, it's pretty spectacular. You don't wanna be near a spinning mass of fibreglass or shattered plastic traveling at 30mph
It has been quite a treat to see the different stages of this project and I think this is masterfully done.
thank you mate and cheers
Perfectly said
Your laughter is infectious! You always leave me with a smile.
When my neighbor traveled to INDIA he told me that small portable windmills were literally everywhere.He showed me how many different colors people would have on there wind energy devices. Nice idea Robert. this is just one cool wind turbine.
The joy you bring to these projects is such a delight to watch.
Thank you for sharing both your exuberance and your wonderful brain!
Cheers!
Robert, this has turned out to be one of you best projects yet! It's been so wonderful to see you continue to refine and master the entire design process from the seeds of your thoughts and concepts to the physical manifestation of the built design. So inspiring to follow along! Thank you so much for sharing you work and design process with us!👍
I was watching another video about wind turbines earlier.
Apparently making the tail a cylinder that curves up can help keep the front facing the wind, as the curve of the rear balances the forces and keeps it straight on.
Stellar little set of inventions, so glad i subscribed, its like getting a treat every day! Can't wait to watch through the back catalogue
Thank You, Mr. Murray! Somebody needs to give you an award, for all you and your team are doing, to advance science and technology!
Rob! You're the archetypal mad professor and and a genius! We love you for it too! Can't wait to get me a a 3d printer and start using and "tinkering" with some of your ideas as I am very interested in electrical generation. cheers mate!
That was stunning. Love the enthusiasm
Phenomenal seeing it all come together. Great job!
Love it when you bring all the bits from other videos to a usable item.
Brilliant Rob
Bless Up Lads
I love the inventiveness of all the stuff, i just can't run my 3d printer fast enough to do all the things it has made me want to do
lolol - i do try to make it modular so one build on another you know
what if you had TWO 3D printers?
@@mikemojc Or ten 3-D printers?
@@mikemojc a second large volume one and then a third continuous belt, and then maybe a resin one and then.........
We are group of engeneers.
We have a best result of wind turbine.
Would you like to discus?
OMG just found you 😊 thank you this is how we change the world... little acts of kind science... I'll be printinting many of these...
thank you very much Robert for putting those files up ,deffinatly going to have a go at this as was really supprised by the output for the input required ,thanks again
Great video. Love all your videos 📹
Thanks so much!
RMS, add a supercapacitor in the charging circuit and it'll deliver nice clean power even where the wind dips slightly. Cheers!
Thank you once again Robert for proving they doing it at home better than buying it online.
I absolutely love these videos and the fact that they come out almost daily is incredible. Keep up the good work!
Glad you like them!
What great charisma and passion! Thank you for this! I want to make it for / with my students.
Absolutely amazing what you do with all the components. I would like to have a few in my garden on the roof...
Wasn't fully impressed with the demo as I was thinking to myself 'OK, lighting a few LEDs in a fast wind, meh' until I noticed the fact that your hair was barely moving in the breeze. Mind blown when I realized that bit. This may be the first time in history that someone's hairstyle has been used as a control factor!
I'm absolutely loving this series due to your modular approach. Splitting it into capture, transfer and generation sections is a genius idea as it allows anyone to create a power source within the whatever limitations they have, be it parts availability, space available or skill level. Keep it up, you're an inspiration (and as a 50+ thinker/tinker, that is not said lightly!)
Why did nobody tell me about this channel!
Love the energy of you :)
Guess I have to binge watch 2011 videos now?!
A wonderful achievement and a credit to your ingenuity and perseverance 🎉
This is outstanding! The more of your videos that I watch the more I learn and enjoy them. Love it when you get happy with what you have done and laugh like a child, stay young my friend.
Congratulations. No need for gears. (the best part is no part) That coreless generator worked out nicely. The turbine blades are very impressive (and facing the right way). A video about the blade design; airfoil used, twist rate, taper, etc. would be wonderful. The generator and blade designs take this beyond toy potential.
Greetings!!!
Thank you kindly sir for your insight and explanation. I have a tradesman background and an overactive brain..lol. Your channel has kept me busy tinkering in my garage.
Recently have become a member and am looking forward to more of your videos that are a both informative and abit humorous.
Thank you again sir!!!!
Cheers mate
Wow, awesome ! I cannot wait to see the comparison with the vertical one you are doing (redirects any direction wind down or up into blades.. you are going to have enough toys to do comparisons soon ! Really really fun series, love to see you having a blast doing it too !
Exciting! Thank you for this series! So interesting.
Amazing. I hope a ready to assemble diy kit is born soon from all this work.
Oustanding contribution Robert, Bravo sir!
That's incredible! Well done!
I absolutely love your videos!!! A free spirit and a great mind to inspire me;)
6:33 How can there only be 3k likes with infectious laugh of sheer joy.
Way cool, Robert!
Really, really incredible! Thank you!
Love the captain nemo tail, another awesome video 😊
Impressive output at 3 to 4 m/s. If my printer bed is big enough, I might actually build one of these.
Robert is amongst the most interesting man!
this would be incredibly useful on a RV or camper van setup. Put it on some sort of extendable pole that can be unfolded/deployed when parked and you'd have a source of power with or without sunshine. I've often thought about using small turbines to recharge batteries while driving also.
His Laughing at the testing was so awesome 😂 reminded me at Doc Brown as he tested the time machine at the two pine mall 😅
The mad cackling really makes these videos.
Holly Hanna, lol.. Well done Rob and son... ;)
Makes me want to get a 3D printer and tinkercad and start mass-producing them. That was very impressive. That was very good thank you.
This is great Robert!! 👊
Excellent work. You have done tremendous very exciting
What a great video,resource for people to learn with,yet a government can't use your example of expertise to place this country in a sound energy state. Brilliant
Class! Might see if my Dad who's into camping wants one.
Thank you Robert .
Amazeballs! Thank you for all the files!
This would make a great trickle charger for Dad's boat to also help keep the birds from crapping on it. Right now there are weighted plastic owls and zip tied on lengths of plastic bags working as winged tentacles. It was working for a while, funny eh. Have a good one all.
I was just thinking similar. I have a 'hawk' with fluttery wings, on a long flexible pole at my allotment, it keeps the pigeons and squirrels away (mostly).
@@bikerfirefarter7280 We could 3D print deer whistles into the blades with tiny velocity stacks. Or regular whistles if someone had a neighbor with a wind chime they hate. :)
@@Rebar77_real Gad! Those garden wind-chimes, solitary, useless, unmusical irritants, I hate them.
However, having said that, there used to be a tree, in a rural setting near Sheffield UK, loaded with dozens of wind chimes. The owners must have been gifted musician/artist because its the ONLY set of chimes that sounded beautiful and appropriate for the setting. Someday I'll try and find it again and record/link to it.
Awesome job!
One improvement suggestion, I could see the blades flexing a lot in the wind, you can make forged carbon fibre.
Maybe 3D print the moulds and forge your blades.
Looks like you hit gold there Mr Smyth. Impressive actually.
It's amazing!!! new fan (pun intended) for the crazy scientific laughter
Currently printing this out, starting with the Gen first, just need to source all the magnets and thrust washers now.
Pretty impressive. 👍
Thanks Robert
seen this from Thingiverse, this is unreal!
just brilliant
Looking good.
your laugh is contageous, thanks for making me laugh and smile along with you, keep laaughing , keep educating. good luck for future ones.
It’s be interesting to see the level of effort and efficiency to make a portable Darwin version
Nice design
Such a awesome project! But that wind sounded like a huricane =))
t wasn't the wind it was the blades moving quickly in a light wind
That sound as it went! It made me think of a drone taxi landing... Wait. Do we have drone taxis yet? 🤔
Alfred T. Forbes "The Homebuilt Dynamo" describes and lays out in tables building a wind generator to a specific wattage and rpm range.
In this book Mr. Forbes builds a wind turbine generator of 1000 rpm or less, and in that rpm range will generate 1000 watts.
He shows how to pick a wattage and rpm and then design the coils based on those parameters so you can achieve your desired output.
It is a book written by an engineer for engineers, very well thought out.
@@danedmiston9673 It's been a while since I've read the book. I kept it next to my computer when doing any wind generator research. It was the only book, that when I gave it away to an engineer, so a good home, was painful for me, I didn't want to turn it loose.
This book, for me, demystified many things about generator design, where other books are overly complex or skipping on valuable details.
Watching this spin keeps me excited for the final Darwin wind wall. Garden fence will be new power station🤣🤞
Dr. Thinker Tinker. Awesome.
Great vid
Amazing 🤩
Sometimes TH-cam is like having access to DaVinci's stream of consciousness, delight and all.
Very nice job on your tolerances especially on this one rob. I know it's unlikely to find the exact one, but I also kind of like the compact but stout design of that generator. Is anything a generator, yes, but that one's already somewhat ready without the rough, so if you have a model number kicking around ;)...
Awesome!
Thank you! Cheers!
This is fascinating work you're doing, thank you so much for your efforts.
I'm a newer subscriber so maybe you answered this already, but could you recommend a good budget friendly 3D printer?
hey your stuff is awesome. im wanting to make pretty much everything i see
Hi Robert! Glad to see progression in this project again ^_^
Pardon me, may I suggest the implementation of tubercles on the blades?
Mint!
You could probably scratch that tail if you use the blades as the tail just make the blades the end. Mount the body of the generator closer to the current tail and make the blades a mirror of the current ones so it will still spin the right direction.
What if you combined a Darwin wind catcher that directs air up with a thermal updraft chimney like they tested in Spain? For home use, have the chimney go up from a gazebo, have the turbine near the bottom to ease maintenance, possibly have roll out awnings around the perimeter of the gazebo to increase solar collection area?
I would love to see some measurements. Also a way to bring the wires down, without compromising the swivel
Awesome. Would the blades not benefit from wing tips like on modern planes?
brilliant..
Nice build! Could it be an idea to enlarge the tail fin to keep it more steady.
Would be interesting to use something like this to heat a sand battery with low-voltage heating elements. Could eg. keep a garden bed or greenhouse above freezing temps.
Have you looked at dimples on the blades like a golf ball to increase air flow?
I wonder if this would do well charging a battery to power my Nano Station Wi-Fi Management radio? It only draws seven watts at 22-24 V. The nano sits on a hill in Colorado, where a 3 meter/second wind is actually more consistent than sunshine!
I really love all of your videos bjt it would be awesome if you also measure it's voltage and amp with multimeter so we know how much power it can provide so it will be helpful in our projects too I'm also working on wind turbine that's why 😅 thank you ❤
I do that mate but they don't make good videos and rarely get a high number of views - but you can find them
@@ThinkingandTinkering I'm sure you do test volt/amp output related to rpm. Is there any chance of a PIP of a graph showing these result? (Not wanting to seem spoon-feedy, just thought people would find it of value).
Thanks. I'll just pop back under my rock now.
Hi rob awesome love it even sounds great. Could you experiment with a VAWT but turn it upside down so the blades are facing downwards. My expectation is the turbine will spin more freely as they seem to go better when they hang off a bearing instead of sitting down on them if that makes sense? Hit me back cheers :)
My new dart
lol
Hi Robert, after trying to investigate further into Synchronous Reluctance Motors (Generators is my goal) I stumbled upon your channel late last night in bed and I am insanely impressed!
Do you by any chance have advice, what would we need to change to improve output? I saw Kris Harbour made a 2KW axial flux motor wind turbine, which it's design seems quite simple. What would you say the strengths / weaknesses of this design are compared to trying to do it with axial flux motors?
How many watts could this generate in 4m/s wind? Sorry if I missed this bit.
Can't wait to see this combined with the Cardan and Hobson. Or does that lead to worse performance due to added weight \ torque requirements?
cool staf ⚙🔧🏁
Impressive. Ha ... Your outfit as well :-). If there's ever another Harry Potter movie you'll fit right in as teacher or headmaster maybe.
Can't wait to see episode 2023! Will a wormhole open up?
Rob, I just noticed how the HAWT is mounted on the camera tripod. You have to be careful about the flexing of the blades, they come very close to the top of the tripod.
Hi Robert, really interested in this and have started printing the wire loom jig.
Do you have any links to the parts you use? Magnets etc?
Have you had any thoughts on how to take the power off while allowing the turbine to swivel? Maybe graphite brushes on a slip ring...
Thanks
JT
Robert what do you think about scaling this wind generator up only twice the size id think id like to intergrate it into a 24 volt system
nice little turbine - naturally for more power the "smart kids" can scale the blades up - even if it means printing in 2 sections (or use a sheet product for the tips - easy to form to shape.. -j If splitting into several parts - just (add to the design) print locating pinholes at the cut - for inserting paperclip wire or other easy-to-get pins for alignment
(Blade curvature orientation is an improvement over the model in Vid-1965 (reverse curvature) - though the nice thing about using plastic extruded pipe/tube products is the uniformity (less likely to fracture along print lines) , and ease of reshaping/forming blades with a hot air gun - just press the blade on a formed buck to set curvature and twist - FFD printed products tend to shrink strangely is heated to glass transition temperature)
once one has a blade shape they like - FFD printed blades can be overmoulded in epoxy+s-glass for an immensely strong and "cheap" system.
