wind turbine vawt pvc

[TheMarschmallow]

what generator did you use???

[wyrrox]

That's epic, i'm going to try it as well.

[gubalak]

good job :)

We did one with blades cut from duct and we just could not get enough speech to generate sufficient power. We were able to gain turn to power a car battery but only that. Better than nothing!

@watchthemoviefitna what size generator were you using?

[currentmachine]

try putting it onto the corner of the house, the wind coming in towards the wall are collected and passed on to your wind turbine.

... funny thing about turbines of this type- they develope

a very strong rotational torque, which can be directed

down the axis and into a sailing vessels' keel thus

moving the boat foreward...

[Azlanpositivo]

It´s easy and excellent idea and very cheap. Thank you for de idea.

[yankeelimadelta]

I like it.

[TheWindGinProject]

Excellent!

[MrEnergyCzar]

Awesome...it looks like the one on top of Ed Begely's house...One that size would produce about 500 watts per hour...

[iamafractal]

ok so now show the video of you making this.

[Cradle2Venus]

does this generate power? What kind of performance can you get out of something this size in a windy area?

[D9magestic]

Very Clever Idea. I was thinking of doing this and covering the whole thing in epoxy/aramid fibre maybe make it cyclone proof.

[steveman223]

i like it..looks kind of decorative also..looks kind of cool there....very nice

Did you use 6" or 8" diameter PVC? Very cool stuff. I think I might have to try making one of those on the porch with a wood frame like yours.

[supergokue1]

I used 6'' pvc for the blades, it seemed to work well for me. Thank you for the question and good luck with your turbine.

[EastCoastOp]

you should put it on the top of your home, so there is no resistance to wind.

very good tho.

[supergokue1]

I am sorry to say this one is no longer up. I have been thinking about building another one. When I do, I will also make a video about the generator and how much output I get.

[Slugz519]

Any idea what it puts out at a decent wind speed?

[supergokue1]

I am sorry to say that this turbine is no longer up. I have been thinking about making another one. if I do, I will Make a video with all of the numbers.
