I built a small strong vane powered alternator to replace the old generator on my 1941 J4 Cub. That was how they recharged the battery on the limited electrical system back then. I used a Delco alternator and adjusted the pitch so it didn't scare me from the high speed screaming. It came apart in flight one day causing fear and grief. I researched the alternator market for one with higher capacity thrust bearing and found a nippondenso. It worked great. For all you sharp shooters out there, no it wasn't stc FAA approved. I have had my life nearly ended several times by shoddy A&P mechanics. Being an ex Air Force mechanic, it's my life and I'll do the maintenance thank you.
So good to see people discussing and finding better ways to do same thing. Is there anyone who has professionally worked on small wind turbines projects ? I would like to discuss a couple of things and would appreciate any assistance.
very attract!! i want to ask, while motor and turbine going on. it's possible we able to keep the energy as well Solar Panel? cause i want to be use it in the night.
Interesting video. I heard also about so called "vertical turbines" - I am not sure if I wrote the name in English correctly. You could make a video showing how to construct such a turbine. Regarding to this video maybe I am wrong but I am a bit afraid if this construction resist in case of very strong wind (eg. screws, pcv, welds).
What do you mind with "1:3:20"? It's the measure for the top, the bottom and the large of the blade? Like 1 inch in the top of the blade, twenty inches to larger of it and 3 inches in the bottom of the blade?
A variation on the Hub to make it stronger with a bit more bite in the overall pitch to allow efficient use to my most common wind preference is an easy carry forward. You have provided me with inspiration! Thanks.
NEW Physicist 🌹👍❤️ good afternoon my friend very nice very good your working and your video I like this work goodbye I’m OTH Riyadh Saudi Arabia 5-2-2018 7:20 PM
Great insight into the build just subscribed and it’s a nice compact turbine I also have built a homemade 650 watts wind turbine, a treadmill motor turbine and a little but powerful ametek 30v turbine and built 2 diy solar panels, be careful in high winds one of my first turbines blew up 😕and now have only 2 wonderful turbines working daily 😊it’s very satisfying watching those things working, keep up the good work buddy 👍
Teach me too. If i want air to be pushed fwd & sucked from back like an exhaust fan. shud the blade curvature be different. Why do some house fans have 4 blades? Is it better for windmills with low wind speeds to have fewer blades?
Thanks for the idea. I intend to build a slow speed fan in my workshop to circulate warm air from above the stove and across the roof, down to where I am. It has to be big, but slow moving, otherwise the wind-chill outweighs the heat gain (as I have found out with a desktop fan). At the moment it takes about 2-3 hours to warm it up by natural warm-air currents so hopefully this would speed that up.
@@devfern2270 I found out at more or less the same time about some very small fans only about 6" diameter. Spacing them one at each corner and each of them blowing horizontally towards the next one, creates a gentle draft and gave me the effect I wanted. They are often used by bootleg cannabis growers in confined spacers.
@@devfern2270 Difficult to advise you without physically being at your place to see the problem, and even then I am no expert. Can I suggest you discuss the matter with your local garden centre who will give you expert advice.
Cool solution. But the rear edge of the blades is allways 0° this is ideal. I guess it is worth to spend a little more time and fasten the whole blade with an angle. In this case you should put the edge with the different angele to the rear. I would expect that this would fit better to the different angle of attack along the different sections of the turbine. Do you have some experience what wind speeds can be hanled by such a construction?
As per my previous experiences u should add three more blades and also increase the length of blades for better results n more stable rotation even in slow wind speeds
You've got a grinder and a welder and you still work on the floor? Build a workbench then build a vice. Nice little project though looking at the generator, I think you should upscale to something that will spin a car alternator.
A creative idea... you said Wearing eyeglasses when welding but it hasn't angle grinders power tool protection! It can cause damage if stones are exploded.

That will totally work. And adjustments could always be made to improve it, if needed. All by hand, great job and thank you.
Good job! Keep them coming. Thanks for posting this.
the bike bearing and chains is a great idea as it takes away the strain on the motor's bearings.
Fantastic, Sir! Twisted, slim blades for a minimal cost! That's clever. I wish you god winds! Best regards, Andreas, Sweden
looks super nice!

Interesting stick welding, smart use of tube
This is a great great idea. Don't listen to the negative comments from people who criticize others, but do nothing themselves. Keep up the good work!
+Robert Baker, Thank you for your support.👍
Nice welding, great video, Thanks.
start small and work your way up to bigger and better things good job use what you can find
Nicely done! Thanks for sharing.
Gives me hope.. I can stick weld like that! :)
Super. Very helpful. Keep posting bro
So good to see people discussing and finding better ways to do same thing. Is there anyone who has professionally worked on small wind turbines projects ? I would like to discuss a couple of things and would appreciate any assistance.
Keep the great job God bless you. While others talk you do your best.
good lines with an angle grinder. thumbs up
Thanks for making this video. Awesome.
Very cool!
Pls post a follow up as sool as you get some wind so we van see it do ots thing!👍
Thats so helpfull bro, i gonna attampt to use it for low scale irrigation😊
Great way to show a general concept.

I knew he is going to get a lot of pain for welding even before I read the comments. :-) Anyway, thanks for sharing. Good job!

Good job...and you did it wearing a really nice shirt!!

Muito bom!!! Parabéns....Evandro from Brasil!!!
Verry nice work sir.......
Appreciable work.........
Yes, this is great idea. I was think more the along the idea of soldered aluminum, but that might be bitting off more then I could chew.
I think, this is very great idea. but some times ago, I saw this method in TH-cam. I want do it too :)
I really like your videos there is just something really good about them
Thank you so much.. I'm working on something more interesting. Keep in touch..👍👍
New Physicist I will, can’t wait to see it. Thanks
Parabéns meu amigo pela criatividade
Great 👍🏿 job my man
Killer welding skills.....
your all videos are awesome
Brilliant. The simplest plans are usually the best.

Thanks. Change the chain for a belt
Really nice! :)
great idea thanks for sharing
My brother, I asked if it was made of aluminum with a thick thickness. But it looks like that can it be mounted on a zenithch750 stol plane?
Wow good project
this guy has not got the faintest idea of real life in the physical world of engineering
excellent your explanation.
Thanks for the tip! Realy appreciate it!

Inplix has nice plans for that

great video ...cheers
10/10 for effort
Very good video Thanks,
I had this idea for a long time now

it look good when finished thank

What would be the speed of fan if the wind velocity is 30km/ hr directed normal to the blades
Cool solution. But the rear edge of the blades is allways 0° this is ideal. I guess it is worth to spend a little more time and fasten the whole blade with an angle. In this case you should put the edge with the different angele to the rear. I would expect that this would fit better to the different angle of attack along the different sections of the turbine.

Welding level 1000, very smart little brown ! :D
Parabéns gênico ⏳⏱💡👏👏👏
very cool
Good job
Thank you.
Super technique
As per my previous experiences u should add three more blades and also increase the length of blades for better results n more stable rotation even in slow wind speeds
If there r more blades wud it really be better in low wind. Plz help.
Nice video
Verry satisfied 👌👌👌
You've got a grinder and a welder and you still work on the floor? Build a workbench then build a vice. Nice little project though looking at the generator, I think you should upscale to something that will spin a car alternator.
Excellent.
Instead of welding one can drill holes and use bolts to secure the pieces at 4:30...
You ROCK!
nice
very nice
A creative idea... you said Wearing eyeglasses when welding but it hasn't angle grinders power tool protection!
It can cause damage if stones are exploded.
good idea! What is the diameter of the duct section you cut up for the blades? And, is there some significance to the ratio you showed at the start?
+Jim MacLaughlin, 8 inch. If you cut the PVC at that ratio, it'll look like a real wind turbine.
Thank you
thanks
why do you open the cover of grinder ? dangerous !!
Great cheap n best
If we try to use these wings for normal ceiling fan, are these wings work properly?
Good technology and very very good a
Nice
Good night, You could put the download paper template. ? I'm having a hard time doing it. Thank you
Good...but we can utilize ceiling fan modify accordingly..
Super Idee; 1000 Punkte! BG aus D.
Cool.thanks.
