fl4nky Stationary? Mechanically a 0.93 meter diameter, 1.04 m tall version would put out: at 20 km/h about 35 watts 40 km = ~290 W 60 km = about a kilowatt 80 km = ~2.3 kW 110 km (max measured survival windspeed) = almost 6 kW. Using a bike chain around the wheel rim and a 5cm sprocket on your application will give a gearing ratio of 12:1, and up to 30:1 by adding a sprocket cassette as a gear box. I'm in the process of making an animation to demonstrate how to attach things to the turbine.
Hey Daniel First thank you soo much to share that brilliant video.. I m actually building one for myself now.. I was wondering which kind of motor did you use? Would an alternator work well I got two here 12v and 150ah? Thanks again May the force be with us
Particularly good options in terms of output, if not necessarily availability depending where you are, would be a direct drive Smartdrive type washing machine motor, or an electric bike wheel. Also hoverboard wheels, treadmill motors. Be aware tho that this video is not the most up to date version for the turbine, have a look at this video instead: th-cam.com/video/t9TrUPoevXI/w-d-xo.html and check the description for the link to the full tutorial, and facebook discussion group.
Strictly speaking the turbine is arbitrarily scalable, but with this build process it takes a bit of rejigging if you want to change sizes of stuff. They're 64 by what? Can you definitely not get any others?
You'll run into problems tho with the sizing of the top and bottom tabs, and the spacing of the half sheet and strut, and probably some other stuff. If in doubt just fudge things round a couple of mm, but maybe send me some photos before you put anything up in the wind, to be safe.
This is a copy of the Pierson vertical wind turbine from the 80's that was in a book I bought from half price book store. Only it had four wall s that increased efficiency at low wind speeds. Not a new idea.
52 steps, in about six hours, and $20 to $35 to make a vertical turbine, that will fit onto a bicycle wheel, to get a bit more mechanical power than needed to turn on the light bulb when one opens the refrigerator door? I wonder just how much time was wasted designing these 52 steps for an animated tutorial, which ended up becoming an air pump, for this other video? th-cam.com/video/0fAAdwDEMbM/w-d-xo.html What is the air pump going to be used for? One might as well get a small electric fan from a scrap heap, and use it. One step.
Just happened to stumble upon this video but I watched it till the end. Simply amazing video. One of the best tutorials on TH-cam. Thumbs up!
Thank you so much for this video

Mechanically a 0.93 meter diameter, 1.04 m tall version would put out:
at 20 km/h about 35 watts
40 km = ~290 W
60 km = about a kilowatt
80 km = ~2.3 kW
110 km (max measured survival windspeed) = almost 6 kW.

SolarflowerOrg you guys still active?
Yep, got a couple significant updates coming out over the coming weeks.
awesome!
Have you ever consider in using step-up transformer to produce more electricity? And will save? +OpenSOurceLowTech
Sounds really good. Im planning on adding speed control to mine. do you know at which wind speed the turbine is most efficient?
excellent presentation , very perfectly tailored...good job..
Good job
fantastic work planning to start building one, u r real cool man
Gut für die Playliste Cooperation
If this is attached to a permanent magnet DC generator, would it work the same way as being on a tire rim using a belt? Or would it be less efficient?
How do you mean?
Also, check the latest version of the tutorial:
th-cam.com/video/JlNYIU0aSps/w-d-xo.html
for more info on configurations.
great animation
Muito bom o projeto. Bem detalhado e de fácil entendimento.
connect the Generator with Loads and find out the rpm and volt with amps
My dream is to create tutorial animations like this on how to build tiny houses. Take a look at some turbine designs I have animated on my channel.

What are the units of measurement in this animation?
Centimeters. Check the tutorial link in the description for full info.
how much W generator can it sustain? stationary
can someone please suggest a slightly smaller scale ? as i have 64cm aluminium sheets
Strictly speaking the turbine is arbitrarily scalable, but with this build process it takes a bit of rejigging if you want to change sizes of stuff.
They're 64 by what? Can you definitely not get any others?
I solved the problem. As i dont have larger sheets i printed the template with a 90% scale

It's a Lenz2 lift+drag, so is a fairly new and efficient design. I'm not able to find any info on the Pierson type, do you have a link?
Do you have the blueprints of step one and two ? Thanks you

OpenSourceLowTech thanks you very much
@@OpenSourceLowTech this link leads to nothing.
なんで無音なのですか？
Maybe just use fabric instead?
How so?
How would you go about this? please elaborate.
Now I wanna know how this tutorial was made...
+Chris Hale : Modeled in Rhino, rest done in Maya.
+Daniel Connell it's a very neat presentation
48" by 30' would be nice
nice cartoon.

You dont see the big picture. Life is boring with a narrow mindset.
