- We have had some very windy weather so i was keen to get the wind turbine up and running. i got it installed on my mast and it works better than i expected it to. still need to do some work to the mast but its making a lot of power.

Brilliant Kris don't be sorry for the wind noise just makes us all listen more intently. And the balancing using an old disc brake now that's recycling. I love watching your progress Kris you bring a lot of pleasure into this world with your style of being. Thanks for sharing.
Totally agree, love you share!
Exactly what I was going to comment Kris.
Impressive!
Now that is the first wind generator I've seen that actually may be worth building, love the tower.
I am in a good location for wind and i made the blades twice the length then the cheap stuff you can buy. I would not bother going any smaller than this. I might make a monster one day.
@@KrisHarbour With the larger blades you might want to put a more resistive winding so that it turns slower to produce the same power. That is a LOT of kinetic energy spinning there. It doesn't seem like you have an issue with low winds, so you can add more torque.
Still a great project even so. Love the pneumatic mast.
Yeah most people think "mur blade du bettr" when that's simply not true and they make no power.
The hugh Piggott designs are not expensive and have decades of real life powering a whole island community. They definitely work!
@@KrisHarbour hello please share the individual components
Hi, great to see the progress you are making with the wind turbine but boy it was hilarious to watch you pumping up the mast. All the technology on the mast and a bike pump to make it work 😜.
As an amateur with woodworker, i typically feel overpowered with the entire arrangement th-cam.com/users/postUgkxrYREG3-7f1Aqk9ams3ZESRNzGnfdUtyQ . Be that as it may, this arrangements drove me through with much clarity and effortlessness woodplans. Works i now work like a genius. That is great!
I learn so much from your videos Kris! At almost 62 years old, I'm close to following your off the grid lead...
1.29 what a gorgeous frame , the sky and that cute little tractor, such a homestead/farm vibe .. great work as always kris , im always inspired by your videos and drive to get things done
Kris you have never cease to amaze me! Many people who would like to be self sufficient can see by your examples! Plus you are open about any miscalculations and show how to fix it! Thank you so much for sharing your videos❣️
Congratulations Kris, you always put a smile on my face whenever I watch your videos. Thank you and a good job done. Thank you.
This is soo amazing!! Great work!
Been looking forward to this all week! :)
Amazing Kris! Really loving how your sources of renewable energy are coming along!
Thanks for the wind turbine update, I had been wondering about it. It looks really good and the results are excellent. All built by hand I think that is truly remarkable. Looking forward to see some further testing and results.
WOW well done Kris, you won't be a slave to the big power company's
You are such a tease just a glimpse of the work shop Ohhhhhhhh
About that wind thing, I m sure many of us would happily chip in for the cost of a clip mic and magnetophone. Thanks again for documenting and sharing your journey, we are avidly taking notes :)
This looks really good! Really cool that you can get that much power out of it. Nice work Kris!
As always fantastic work .
You really do inspire .
You should be really proud of yourself.
You are an amazing young man. I thoroughly enjoy watching you creat your designs and then execute them. Well done!!
Dude, you are amazing! Everything created by hand and virtually free! I hadn't checked in for a while and you are almost at 160,000 subscribers. Fantastic!
Very impressive build. For a hand built turbine, from scratch, that output's astounding. I'm sure that you're rightly proud of your achievements, as you should be.
Your shop is huge and gorgeous! You did crack on! There's nothing you can't do. If you can visualize it, you can so it! What a vision!
Has to be a very satisfying feeling. Great job.
Hi Chris I have been watching your videos over the last month or so I absolutely love all the skills and the time and effort you put into the project you do you are massive inspiration for younger people you are so talented and a credit to the UK younger generation keep up the good work mate
Really enjoy your updates... fantastic job harnessing the wind!
Wow this is truly outstanding, you should be so proud of yourself kris, your craftsmanship and knowledge is second to none ! Love these videos keep up the good work 👍🏽
What a cracking video Kris. Love the recycling. That pump system is great. Looking forward to more wind turbine content
Peaks of 500 watts? Geez, i did not expect that from this size of windmill! Good work :)
Actually peaks of 1300 watts
@@codemonkey2k5 just goes to show how much you can get from so little
Mega kudos to you! Always impressed by your courage to give stuff a go!
Congratulations Kris ... functions great and looks great to boot! Well done.
wow. what a result... you are doing great work to prove just how achievable green energy supply is. hats off to you mate
You tease. Fantastic job, you must be so chuffed with yourself and rightly so. It will be interesting to see how the blade edges stand up over time. Build 10 more and sell it to the grid.👍
Good Deal! I like seeing someone using multiple forms of making power.Let's you have a constant flow of electrical energy to your batteries.
Well done Kris, you've made fantastic work from your off grid home. I'm so proud to have a fellow Brit like you! I would love to eventually make an off grid home myself, something a little similar to yours but not quite so complex. I'm residing in Northamptonshire and would love to support you someday. You're such an inspirational low impact role model!
With all this abundance of power you need to buy you a golf cart to cart around your land on. And charge it with your solar turbine or water turbine. Maybe even put solar panels on the top. And trick it out. That would be a cool video as well. And you can give us a tour of your land on it.
Im going to make an old ride on mower i have a little electric buggy at some point. just to much to do at the moment.
Outstanding again Kris. Now you have multiple power sources (and I'm sure you are not finished yet). Amazing that all this stuff is built by you - your skills never cease to amaze me!
awesome been waiting years for you to get back to this
Congrats on your wind turbine, looks great and working very well! 👍👍💯💯
im in awe of ur talents young man ,makes me wish i was young again and had learnt some thing useful. brilliant to watch ur videos x
Been waiting this so much,impressing
Damn it Kris!!! You're good..... And you feel it.
Love the sneak pics 👍👍
You need a medal, let's make a wind turbine from scratch.
Love the give it a try with least effort, then progress if promising.
Awesome x
Looks great! Your sorted for power now kris! Can’t wait for the next update!!
Kris I am so happy for you that this handmade wind turbine is working for you. I was so glad to see this video. You keep well and I look forward to the next post.
This turbine looks really good. Excellent job.
Fantastic, you should be proud- another amazing milestone!
I am giggling like an excited child Kris!! 🤣 Well done! 👏👏👏🥳🥳💞
Maybe he just doesn't show it in the videos, but I can't believe he isn't dancing around with excitement at his creations. I'd be over the damn moon if I built anything as well as he has.
@@paulsmyers203 Indeed! I love the " Let's try this" attitude. He is a marvel x
Yep, singing from the roof top, so proud of you Kris.
your resourcefulness is inspirational my friend, keep em coming love it
1150W is impressive! great project, it's a beauty.
i'm so jealous! you did a really good job on that!
Something apocalyptic & moody on these wind turbine videos... I love it.
Tune in this time next year when Kris completes his home made water cooled nuclear reactor which he made from parts salvaged from a skip and some scrap wood.
That is so funny a statement but true, he is amazing!
Fantastic, more free power this is brilliant. As with any tower by lowering the center of gravity you make it far more stable so by burying the base of this tower more the better it will be. Well done
Another first-class video. Can't wait for next week!
Wow, this channel is really building up on great and interesting content. I subscribed. This lad has got his act together.
Fantastic. I’m amazed at your ingenuity. Keep up the great work and the fantastic videos.
You are so good at so many things....very inspiring!
I gave it a thumbs up for the first 25 seconds alone. Congratulations Kris!
Thumbs up is guaranteed, straight away
@@kenleach2516 yes, for the West Country accent alone.
YOU ARE TRULY AMAZING NO WONDER YOU WERE SMILING RIGHT THROUGH THE VIDEO. REGARDS PAUL
WOW Kris! I had absolutely no idea you would be making power like that from a turbine built from scrap! I've seen videos on TH-cam where ppl tested turbines they bought that were about the same size as yours but only producing 150-200-250 W
Great job!
I doubt they were as big. mine has 1.6 meter blades. if you double the blade size you get 8x the power so even a tiny size difference changes the output a lot. so it could be they had smaller blades and slightly lower wind speed. wind is really hard to do comparisons in your mind because of the massive changes to output from small changes in size and wind speed. But i do believe this would be a lot better made than those cheap ones you can buy.
@@KrisHarbour Could well be that my mind is playing tricks with me. ;-) Never the less it's still impressive what you have made!
Awesome work Kris! Probably my favourite project so far... apart from the workshop. The workshop is amazing, makes me jealous. :)
Just goes to show u don’t have to be a genius to be able to invent things...all it takes is research common sense approach and willing to put in the hard graft to make it happen..it’s a credit to Kris’s mindset and approach to doing things and using the natural resources at hand to make things work for the environment he’s living in... so enjoyable watching and learning from his work thanks old mate ....
I really love, that you are into data and proving the data. So many wind turbinebuilders claim a lot, but never prove it. Or show a voltage, which says nothing. At the moment om working on a smaller 300 watt homebuild windturbine and a 70kWh battery bank. I have the same plans for data. You have a new follower. :D
Fabulous Kris... no wonder you’re proud .... incredible work.
Your a legend mate. Inspiring me to build stuff. Love the videos. Kalgoorlie Australia
We all have to overcome a bit of erectile dysfunction now and again, but I was glad to see you get it up, Kris! 😀😀😀
knob gag, good one
lots off hand pumping did the trick
Dick Evans doing a dick joke .
@@KrisHarbour LOL,LOL.
Did you just say your not very good with math?,. Brother, everything you do is based on math and in all honesty, I've been impressed more than once!!
That's good work Kris! I can't believe you got that kind of power out of it on the first try.
Great job Kris. Might want to consider painting the tips of the blades a bright color as a safety measure, like they used to do on airplane propellers.
Just wanted to say very cool dude. I love seeing this kinda DIY stuff. I love off grid power systems be it hydro, wind or solar. Great skills building those blades.
As ever Kris, totally inspirational brother - very well done x
This brother is making things happen, and I'm watching him make things happen. I need to get me a life and follow suit. Goodbye TH-cam... 5 minutes later I'm still 👀
Kris you are both a grafter, and a canny guy ! Been watching your channel for a while, this really impressed me. Keep inspiring is !
Your videos are great. Hope all is well. Stay safe from all of this virus lunacy. Best regards
Wooow, this wind turbine is even cooler than the river turbine!
Watching you use the SCAM12 mast is painful! The turbine part is amazing! 👌 Nice work!
I believe it is the apache helicopter who has a special rotor tip design who reduces noise. At least one of the fighter copters has it :))
What a fantastic result Kris :)
Epic, i have two chinese turbines ,one is running through a midnite classic 250, the other connected to lead acid, just tie it up in high wind and you are good to go, serious power off it !
That looks like a WW2 stirrup pump. It's great Kris. Once it's connected it's going to do well, up on the hill. Every farm should have one similar. The 40 mph ish wind here in Chester almost blew me off balance yesterday. I hate wind but we have had a terrific amount of it since I retired 22 years ago and it gives a good supply to the National Grid.
Too much wind and you end up with a sail when the brakes kick in to keep the turbine from burning out. (there is a reason he reinforced the mast)
Not a WW2 stirrup pump, it's the original hand air pump for the 'SCAM' pneumatic mast he's using. Lots of Radio Hams (myself included) use them for their original purpose - holding up radio antennas.
@@colint 🇬🇧 Thanks for info Colin.
Thanks started watching on my tv but don't know who to give a thumbs up🙄 have watched a good few videos but could let your Chanel go with showing my appreciation 👏👏👏👍🏻🏴
That marvelous wind turbine sound horrific! But its really great to see how much power such a small turbine can create, really impressive.
Definite proof of concept there. Magical.
SOLAR,, HYDRO,, & WIND,, WHEN YOU GONNA BUILD THE NUKE PLANT?? LMAO..... ACROSS THE PUDDLE MY 4 OR 5 FRIENDS HAD TO RUN THE TOWERS UP 20 FEET ABOVE THE TALLEST TREES TO GET GOOD POWER.. GOOD LUCK,, LOVE ALL YOUR PROJECTS..
Richard Sabean
He probably is more than 20’ above the trees just having the tower up on the hill from the direction the wind typically blows from.
I was a little skeptical when I saw you making those turbine blades but bugger me that thing really works!
Wind generator is a free source of energy. Let's exploit and use clean natural energy. It's a great generator. Thank you for sharing.
~9.6kwh per day from water + ~7.2kwh per day of wind + 2kwh per day of solar = ~18.8kwh per day rough average of energy. I hope your battery can store at least twice that amount otherwise it's a total waste! You would need a 24v 750ah battery to store the amount of energy you could produce in 24 hours so double that and you would need a 1500ah battery at 24v. Nice setup! You are living my dream. You have more energy than you could ever need in a home even with an air conditioner! The shop will take more due to the heavy equipment you have.
Its awesome more free power
Brilliant just brilliant! Great job
Great job, those telescopic pump up masts are great for that type of thing hey!
I love that first thirty seconds of vid, that’s how I tip toe into the house after the pub, just without a windmill!
Love it... it really looks good . Well done
Super duper cool Kris!!!
With the Arduino controlling the hydro, you could set it up to automatically power it down or reduce power output when you have plenty of wind. Then it could crank back up when the wind dies down
Winglets on the tips would cut down noise and increase efficiency. Like the ones on passenger planes, you see them on big wind turbines now too. They reduce the size of the wing tip vortex significantly where high pressure air on the front face of the wing leaks round the tip to the rear face of the wing
interesting idea, only works on fixed wing applications though i think? never seen them on a rotating prop
Thanks for the tip i will look in to that. i quite like the sound of it to be honest but that might get old.
That's the sound of sweet success. You could turn it onto a podcast and cash in some Spotify coins to improve efficiency 🤑
Windtips would work, but a much simpler solution that would work roughly the same (in terms of reducing the noise) is just to round up the tips of the blades.
Remarkable job Kris!!
Excellent build, very nice!
damn you've got so much power redundancy now, awesome!
Yeah it really nice to know i should have any weather covered now and still be able to disconnect and maintain one system and have power still.
@@KrisHarbour you could even wire up an exercise bike to a generator haha
Plus it's diversified.
Great hydro/pneu. telescoping rig kris!
You're the most inspiring dude Ive ever come across, in the world, so far Kris. I kinda feel like I know you but not sure ha. AMAZING work. AMAZING life you've created. GENIUS! I grew up in Mid Wales, how about you?
Thank you. such a lovely thing to say. im touched. :) Grew up in staines. Home of Ali G
@@KrisHarbour Westside. Cool, my Dad was a dentist there for a bit back in the 90's. We used to say Staines in yer pants. BO!
Do be careful you will be having The Queen stopping by for a visit. lol
Super Cool Kris 😎👍👍👍
Great work
