For the most up to date version of this tutorial please go to: • Video
The turbine can be made almost entirely from recycled materials with basic tools in six hours for $20-35. It is tested at 35-40% mechanically efficient, generates 130 watts mechanical in a 30 km/h wind, 1 kilowatt at 60 km/h, and can survive 100 km/h gusts.

Thanks for watching. If you have any questions let me know, and if you do make a turbine definitely send me some photos.
Yes - Where can you buy the motor/alternator?
I'm quite impressed by your great tutorial at opensourcelowtechorg. Keep up the good work!
Oh, BWT: the deep link in your video description pointing to your tutorial at solarflowerorg seems to be broken. Just wanted to let you know in case you want to change it.
@@beinspiredtomake Which link where?
@@OpenSourceLowTech solarflower.org/tutorial.php... redirects to solarflower homepage (first line of video description)
@@beinspiredtomake That's been updated for the new links and info.. you may be seeing an old cached version of the description for some reason?
I don't care if it works, i don't care if its over $30 dollars to build. This was a great presentation, no hideous background noise and beautiful graphics. WELL DONE......
that's what I came to say too!
Make that 3 !!! I was just logging on to ask what software package they used to make this video. It's AMAZING !!!
yeah this is the first time I have seen graphics like this premo stuff...
Anyone know what they used ?
@@SmeeUncleJoe i know it was rendered in maya.
This is the first graphic simulation that has not annoyed me... it showed actual step-by-step methods. While I watched, I was hoping you would show an actual finished turbine, and you didn't disappoint me. I also really liked the "music"... silence is indeed golden! Thanks.
Thanks!
Ditto on the music.
What John said. Thanks for uploading.
Many thanks whoever you are! I can see all the work and love you put into the details of your CAD tutorial, every detail is there! even bending the metal back and forth! I had to laugh as you even included the Alu sheets from the printing press that I have also picked up occasionally from my local scrap yard here in Bonn, Germany. Again, Thanks !
People love to criticise I love video's of people with inventive ideas and follow the through, I watch loads and gain knowledge so thank you.
play it on slow speed and take notes guys or go to the video info section and click on the tutorial link. Pretty good video man thanks for posting it
Excellent tutorial with well-designed CGI run-through of each step. And it doesn't take an engineer to understand how to do this. Thanks for posting!
Congratulations! Great work and even greater you shared it to the public with so easy detailed instructions instead of just becoming rich from it. The world will be a lot better with many people like you. Bravo.
Marvellous effort on the DIY platform. Great soundless tutorial, thank you
Well done! I'm always so impressed by someone, such as yourself, who comes up with something cool and also takes the time to share it with everyone by making a high quality step-by-step video and web page. Thank you, I'm going to save this and would love to make it one day. Cheers!
Loved the presentation! I’m smiling all the way but totally impractical at the budget price quoted!!! Thanx for the entertaining enlightenment!
Great Idea, I wud love to experiment one of these. Thanks for sharing your idea's with us
outstanding presentation of how to build something!
Thank you for not poisoning this video with hideous background music!
Yeah that's always annoyed me too. Especially if you need to skip around to see different parts.
A bit of narration would be nice though.
Its pretty easy to mute a video though.
Ditto!
Haha! Agreed, the video I just watched before I found this one - it was like listening to a dentist drill while trying to focus on important details.
This is incredible. Wish I found you sooner. Building one of these right away!
This is how DIY projects should be presented!!! Very good 👍👏
Wow thank you for the post, amazing detail, as soon as I can I will be attempting to build this turbine. You don't need a massive turbine to charge a battery bank.
Awesome rendering, I love the animation of the construction
it takes a lot to do such a video for others. You have my respect. And for sure a subscription.
AWESOME Brother
HATS OFF to you
Keep that high spirit and great work going on and on
This is perfect for an architecture project (live) I am working with. Thanks a ton!

What a nice video. You just made an awesome renderization! Dude, that's great!
Great work. Thanks for taking the time.
downright amazing video! hoping to make at least one of these!
Nice to see that.
Looks so easy to build that.
Thanks.
Awesome illustration and 3D skillz!
great animation. one of the best i've seen here.
That's the best tutorial I've ever seen .. thanks.
Sigh you described what has been mulling about in the brain...THANK YOU!
Round about $30 too! You have tools though...like drill, tin snips, etc... I have imagination...so lets see how much it takes to manifest tools to make more tools!
Your upload is MOST HELPFUL!$!
Beautiful video and guide! Well done ... i do this for a living and i must say - after looking at your parts lists, IGES and STEP files - you have done an outstanding job explaining and documenting the build and the process.
Very refreshing !
You suck too!.
Great video and it will be great if we could in real cut and drill metals so fast, smooth, quick, precise and with good finishing😀
Very well done! beautifully executed.
thats the most beneficial youtube channel i have ever seen/watch indeed!
@Black Magik its from another parallel universe's english
enjoyed your idea .. it opens to alot of diy.. i hope for more vids
Muy bueno, me pondré manos a la obra. Great job!
This is the representation of Silence is Gold!
Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Great video and really nice animation. I wish my drill was that sharp!
Awesome layout work. Really creative.
It was so interesting I forgot what I was watching it for!
this is an amazing insight into the build, i just subscribed i also have built a 50 watts, 75 watts panel and 2 wind turbines on my channel successfully
Looks good. If you're on facebook we've got a bit of a community forum group going: facebook.com/groups/windturbinemakers/
Great job and thanks.
Excellent as already commented, what a great presentation very well laid out, thank you
Thanks a lot,really nice work without idiotic background music and pointless blabbering. I'm happy to see someone with a good taste.
congratulations, i will try when I own a house :)
One minor suggestion, if you ever render this again or to anyone building it, you should consider inverting the alternator / generator. It doesn't change any of th load on the bearings and will allow you to put a cap over it to keep the weather out.
thank for wonderful idea.
That is VERY very clever...nice animation as well!
If the people who says that things can't be done ruled the world, humanity would be extinguished long time ago. Don't give a damm to those comments! Great work!
It's because they have no to little understanding of such things.
It's an excellent presentation. One of the greatest problems with wind turbines is being able to recover more than your investment in useful energy. This has potential for people with the skills to source the materials and build it.
Robb403 energy companies fight tooth and nails to make sure the DYI and home owners, technical advantage of wind, solar and other resources fail. They prevent you from connecting to the grid which would in effect allow you sell your excess power back to the energy companies. They lobby state and the federal government making sure they control every bit of our power needs.
I don't disagree, however, you generate energy so you can use it, so... is there really that much need to sell it?
The problem being that the power company won't allow you to produce power into the grid without permission (you need to add equipment to your meter to make it possible too). It would actually be dangerous to just start feeding power backwards - not just to your house, but also to any line worker down the road who does not know the wires aren't completely shut off.
Great video production!
Very clear graphics , well explained.
I cant even begin to pretend to understand what i watched but i realky enjoied it!!
Hello!
OpenSourceLowTech
Easy to understand! It is wonderful!
Good video. Suggest since inherently a vertical can never get more than 50% (usually less) of the wind force available because it fights the wind coming around from the back: that you put regular horizontal axis w vanes, to maximize the energy available. I like the slow moving (SAFER) large vanes aka Dutch windmill w perhaps 30 ft vanes that furl up in high winds, etc.
thanx for sharing .
i will also try to experiment
Well presented cad animations .. cool idea too for a lightweight design. Thanks for sharing ❤
Cool. Now I have a use for some old fluorescent light fixtures
Awesome, really a good work!
That pump at the end was sickk
I watched the video and thought this looked unrealistic, as in, I don't have a metal break etc, but I read the instructions and I was wrong! Very good detail, video, material sourcing; I want to emphasise that word DETAIL, which is so often lacking. Great job right down to things like, 'don't cut towards your hands', a lesson so often learned the hard way! I'll be looking at more of your tutorials. It would be interesting to see a power curve, and how the projected efficiency compares with what you can actually get out of it.
Thanks!
Currently in the process of setting up some more detailed test installs for mapping power output and maintenance.
Perfect video tutorial.
hi great job ,hug from argentina !!! and thanks for make and share a beter world
Zig says outstanding cgi, genius behind this!!!
This is amazing. I want to make this with my son
That's actually pretty cool 😀
Thank you for sharing.
Brilliant. Thanks. Now I choose motor. Generator
That was beautiful i will try this wire and acetate sheet hope it works.
Let me know.
I’ve been looking for a fun little Sunday evening project.
Great presentation !
Beautiful..magnificent...is a bit challenging to build..however i have most of everything thats needed..like bicycle wheels, and chain, and a treadmill motor laying around..
Any questions let me know.
Great idea!
Muchas gracias por tan instructivo video.
I absolutely LOVE the 3-phase implementation! What if it’s geared to start generating at lower wind speeds???
amazing presentation
Great vid. In the future you should consider using the closed captioning for instruction and other data. And measurement data, where/when applicable should be the dominent thing in the screenshot.
That tripple motor are insane
excellent visuals well done
man this animation is impressive! well done, would have taken a long time to produce
Hey guys what was the software you used for the animation? I want to use one to show how I did my sun air collector
Ace .great ideas.thanks
what software did you use for this presentation?
Rhino for the modelling, Maya for everything else.
you could use blender for this, probably easier even. realtime rendering and hard surface tutorials and -animation and you are good
OpenSourceLowTech Wow very good and hard work to make such a smooth detailed Video. How long did it take you to make this video ? You must be a real 3D expert to something like this done...
You used old printer plates for sheet metal? Great idea, I work for a printer!
Really good presentation.
All right! DIYers comment with your real world build examples! Let's see how practical it really is!
thanks for such a grate video,i would definitely love to make this turbine!
Interesting and pretty ingenious design. Thank you for sharing. Also agree with other commenters--the lack of annoying, "flashy", mindless music was nice.
Check out the Water's wind turbine though--allegedly the most efficient wind turbine design so far out there (it's called "Water's" because that is his last name).
When I get done with some of the projects I'm working on, I'm going to design a Water's type design, using a combo of cardboard, S-glass fiberglass cloth, Titebond III glue, some carbonized cellulose nanocrystals, split bamboo, bamboo, UHMWPE cord, and foam (will try to omit the foam since it's not very eco).
Not sure what kind of generation motor I plan to attach to it. Either a stepper or treadmill. Also am working on developing batteries and super capacitors for the energy storage part.
I've seen that design mentioned here and there, but not come across any test data as such. Got a link?
@@OpenSourceLowTech I don't know of any, which is why I said "allegedly" earlier. But the principles as he explains on his site sounds and seems sound. Robert Murray Smith made a small version of one, and despite the lack of strong wind and that he was just holding it, it worked pretty well considering.
I believe he used a radiator blower fan. I don't remember what kind of motor he hooked up to it.
It would be easy enough to just make one an test yourself, which is what I plan to do.
Open Source will change whole world 🌍 ☺
Super,thank you!!!😇👍
Excellent design
Scott Larsen, thanks to answer my doubt about producing 1 kW with so relatively "small" a vertical turbine which is not known for a good efficiency. Perhaps you have very strong winds in your place...
This is awesome
I really like the split blade design for the belt. A good adaptation would be 2 wheels on either end to turn 2 generators
Nice video
GREAT PRESENTATION !!!!!!!!!!
Wait what Motors do you use that can be open to the weather like that?
Very nice. I will look into this further. Doubt I can find all the parts for under 30 though.
Seeing it constructed without a builder all over it is so much better. Would have been helpful to see a brief display of what each material is used, such as the sheeting used, generator, etc.
Check the description for a link to the full build tutorial, with tools materials processes etc.
Hi Daniel, were your results of 1KW for 60km/h (16.7m/s) based on measurements or simulation ? If measurements, can you please share the power vs wind speed data with us ?
Excellent Presentation without the normal crappy music also excellent Design,Why would anyone with a normal mind complain about something shared for nothing? It Boggles my mind.Thank You
