wow i cant believe this ! all those bad comment ... terrible ! those ppl are trying to help those in need what is worn whit you ppl ?
Great Job on that wind turbine ! keep up the good work. those who put the complaint are usually those who are making money off the back of those poor ppl.
they might even work for the government to over there. i man from affrica once told me : The best help is the one coming directly there ... dentist going over to help ... all the rest is kept by the rich
And the guy said to power a cellphone....if they can't afford electricity they won't be able to afford a cellphone.....otherwise, great seeing female engineers.
you're wrong, cellphones over here are EXTREMELY CHEAP. nearly every family owns a very cheap cellphone with the most basic plan. the problem is that when this people live in towns that are deep into the jungle/mountains/etc the asshole governments just won't give a fuck and they won't build the infra-structure to deliver electricity to this towns, this is an innovative way in that towns CAN afford to get electricity delivered to their communities.
a cheap cellphone over here is only like 13 bucks, and you can talk around 10 mins for 1 dollar. and to top it all you have an option of just buying the amount of minutes you want to talk, so you can spend as much as 3-6 bucks per month to talk 30-60 minutes.
and pardon my grammar.. it's 2am so it's not at its best.
Charge a cellphone. HA Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha HA Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha HA Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha. I have been to Nepal in the areas that get no electricity. They also get no Cellphone, TV, and radio service to access with these devices. Lights, Water pumps ect.. on the other hand would be useful.
don't be so ignorant... a lot of people in latin america own cellphones because they are extremely cheap. they just don't have access to electricity, that's all.
no way, for example: i live in guatemala, i own a huge farm (it's around 10 square kilometers). the farm itself is located around 3 kms away from the main road. there are little towns located inside my property and inside adjacent farms. there was no electricity access until 5 years ago when my dad decided to build the infrastructure so we would have electricity on our farm. this is a brilliant idea, not every one with cellphone service will have electricity.
the government on third world countries steal a lot of money, they could care less about building the infrastructure necessary so all towns get electricity. makes you realize how little you know about the life-style in third world countries and makes you realize how much you take for granted this simple commodities you and i share in our daily chores.
please educate yourself before acting cocky and writing comments filled with ignorance.
VAWT are connected star connection (3phases) witch gives them more power at low rpm... they are design to start at very low and turbulent wind speed while keeping at low rpm in case of strong wind 350 rpm max... on the other hand HAWT are usually connected in delta connection witch gives them more power at high rpm (800 rpm at max for most of the small ones) In this case these horizontal axis need constant wind speed to be able to start generating. both need a special environment...
there are too many stresses on these types of turbines...very high winds could damage them and the bearings have a lot of tension on them...they might look nice but conventional turbines are are better long term bet and can reach a higher rpm
In hot countries (it looked hot and sunny to me) photovoltaic is probably a better bet. Although I live in windy North Cornwall it is surprising how often there is no wind. In particular there is often no wind at night because the cooling land creates a wind pressure that opposes the usual sea-to-land wind. Winter is different! You may have to hang on to your hat and walk at an angle of 45 degrees! Megawatts, Gigawatts going to waste!
@ 29, that is so sad that little village is right under the golden gate bridge, so close to all the wealth of SF. I never noticed them thatch huts down there b-4...
You need to add a storage device such as a battery. This is fantastic, but to really make it practical, it needs to couple its usefulness with the ability to harness its energy even during down time. Then the idea of a coupling device, such as a piece of gym equipment, becomes practical and even logical.
okay, so they used bicycle gearing to transfer energy from the turbine to the alternator right? stay with me now.. this only SOUNDS silly .. but .. why couldn't something like this be developed to use a stationary bicycle? or some other piece of gym equipment?
why not attach it to an elliptical climber for example? imagine how much energy a "spinning class" could produce and store!!
Some places are actually doing this! I will try to find the vid I saw about this and share it with you.....but don't count on my finding it, I am still completely at ends as yet.....go away for a couple of months and DANG!!!
right, but lots of other people in other places do.. and those people use lots and lots of electricity .. imagine if you could go to a spinning class, and charge up your lap top battery, your black berry and your PDA all while keeping fit, and powering the health club at the same time...
better yet, imagine the money that the company that copyrights or markets that would make.
Geothermal isnt that efficient to produce electricity, in many countries the heat from the earth is used to control air conditioning warm/cold according to season so you can waste less money and electricity on apparatus. Therefore windturbine are giving pure energy>electricity, not a way to reduce wastage
The problem with these things is that they do not (yet) produce nearly enough energy to supply the entire world. It's like the thing with organic food, people think it will save the world, but organic farming can only produce food for at max half the world. Nuclear power and genetic engineering is the future.
nah not really ironic, there is difference between the fact of Maggru91 being a dumb ass and a simple letter left off a word, but thank you for catching that for me.
Nuclear power is NOT the future. And a form of Eugenics will take over, namely for the sake of controlling the human population, which by the way, has already exceeded our environments carrying capacity.
They do actually, harvesting wind energy in just 6-7 states in the U.S could power up all the entire country.I'm sure you could find enough good spot to (maybe) power up the whole world.
BUT i'll take geothermal energy over nuclear or wind any day =). Clean, infinite and unlike wind or solar energy, you can harvest it at it's full efficiency 24/7.
I had a friend years ago who actually built something like this and all of his electicity was powered by the wind... it was really cool. The kid was a genius as that was over 20 years ago.
Cryps1, yo gang bangy! What up, holmes?? Cell phones bring you so much information, even ten year olds have them these days, checking their facie spacies, able to Google at anyplace, anytime. Pictures, texts, lust. Intelligence to grab like its floating in the air, right out in front of you.

.. At least, not in that clip of an African village. Maybe in the U.S. you could afford a cell phone to charge an keep a wind turbine up somewhere remote, yeah?
You are quite wrong. Many rural villages have one or two communal cell phones that are used for gathering market prices, news and emergencies. This is quite common through India and China and become more so in Africa. While owning and using a cell phone is impossible for the average villager as a communal resource it is quite possible to acquire and make good use of.
You're right, many of us use cell phones to just text and call our friends for fun, but some people think of cell phones as their connector to the world =D
This is nice! I would like to see the day where all the energy that we waste would be usefull for our needs! Like for example by typing this comment I'm wasting energy, or when I walk, or when I Eat! There is a lot of energy wasting EVERYWHERE! But it seems that people is taking care of it!
IDEA: Isn't there any other way to wash clothes and dishes and even our selfs without water? I'm working on something!
Now what we need for low-wind regions is solar concentrators with sterling engines. Sunlight is usually more dependent than wind in many developing regions of the world.
Sunlight is more dependable, but, at least with current technology, solar cells are much less efficient and more costly than wind turbines. If I'm not mistaken, even with a concentrator, developments need to be made before solar power is a fully viable solution.
Solar concentrators with sterling engines, as opposed to photovoltaic cells. Cost would definitely be higher than a windmill, but it would be more dependable. They can be built without a sun-tracker, however they're less efficient during the morning and evening. To view some examples, type "Solar Concentrator Sterling Engine" into Youtube.
As for photovoltaic, Kyosemi Corporation's Sphelar looks to be a promising direction for increasing PV efficiency in the immediate future but few know of it.
According to the Fractional Reserve Banking System, firstly, money is invented out of thin air using of a book-keeping entry and used as a reserve in order for the banks to lend out more money which is payable back with interest. This money is then used again and again as a reserve on more and more new money that can never be paid back, because there is always more money owed than there is available. These people exchange their labour for promissory notes with the face value of this debt. :)
Świetny pomysł. Muszę coś takiego sobie zrobić ale do tego jakiś kondensator pewnie potrzebny. Ciekawe ile można wydoić energii z tego. Pozdrawiam i jeszcze raz świetny pomysł.
Instead of the "old" air cup blade design try a 'helical blade'. Far more efficient as it produces alot less air resistance while turning. The old cup design only turns via the convex side of the blade producing slightly less air resistance than the concave side.
10-20 watts is not really a power source, is it? All you could do with that is charge a cell phone, operate one light. These people need refrigeration.
Good idea. but what happens if there is no wind? interesting fact. the large windmills actually causes more pollutions to manufacture then the use other fuels. think of all the transportation it takes and energy it takes to create them and to assemble them. just a random thought. however, this could be plausible building something like this on a small scale. not a bad idea.
I see what your saying about the larger windmills, it's just those might take a large amount of pollution at first but it becomes lower then burning fossil fuels down the road. Just thought i'd put that out there.
they already exist! ôÔ This is a very cheap one for low budget situations - as in third world countries for a very basic electricity demand. I thing the big ones they already build all arround in Europe and in the USA too, are more effective than this one anyways.
Yeah but they're gonna stay there a really long time and eventually pay for themselves and their damage to the environment. Most wind turbines haven't been around long. And obviously they put them in places where there is nearly always wind. Like in Denmark. And also south western Australia, there's heaps down there, cause it's windy all the time.
In the event of not having any wind, you'd have to minimize your output. But even so the worst case scenario is that you'll have to burn oil for a day or two until the wind comes back.
Not necessarily. This type doesn't need to be raised way up into turbulence free air flow, and can be placed on the roof of houses where there are a lot of gusts from multiple directions - it has fewer moving parts and is more reliable, they do work quite well.
You are correct, horizontal shaft turbines produce more power with the same amount of wind and require less material use to produce. Looking at the size of these turbines, something similar in size mounted on the top of a 50 foot pole could do much better and would have the capacity to charge something bigger than that tiny 5amp/hr(or so) lead-acid battery.
I've been waiting for these for years. I built something like this in college 25 years ago...didn't come to fruition though.. It makes so much sense. Could be several stacked up the windy corner of a building, or several small along a roof line without being very noticable. On commercial building or skyscrapers. Combined with other alternatves and energy efficient buildings, this is a huge part of the answer.

Good idea. but what happens if there is no wind? interesting fact. the large windmills actually causes more pollutions to manufacture then the use other fuels. think of all the transportation it takes and energy it takes to create them and to assemble them. just a random thought. however, this could be plausible building something like this on a small scale. not a bad idea.

I see what your saying about the larger windmills, it's just those might take a large amount of pollution at first but it becomes lower then burning fossil fuels down the road. Just thought i'd put that out there.

they already exist! ôÔ This is a very cheap one for low budget situations - as in third world countries for a very basic electricity demand. I thing the big ones they already build all arround in Europe and in the USA too, are more effective than this one anyways.

Yeah but they're gonna stay there a really long time and eventually pay for themselves and their damage to the environment. Most wind turbines haven't been around long. And obviously they put them in places where there is nearly always wind. Like in Denmark. And also south western Australia, there's heaps down there, cause it's windy all the time.

In the event of not having any wind, you'd have to minimize your output. But even so the worst case scenario is that you'll have to burn oil for a day or two until the wind comes back.

The prius is great for the environment...the battery is bad... :\
Just happened to notice that in the beginning

This wind turbine is extremely inefficient! look at my solar generator video much more practical for this type of situation.

And burn down all the pockets of loveliness hidden in amongst all the cruelty? No! Let's fix it instead.

why vertical shaft... would the traditional horizontal shaft turbine not work far more efficiently than this....

Not necessarily. This type doesn't need to be raised way up into turbulence free air flow, and can be placed on the roof of houses where there are a lot of gusts from multiple directions - it has fewer moving parts and is more reliable, they do work quite well.

You are correct, horizontal shaft turbines produce more power with the same amount of wind and require less material use to produce. Looking at the size of these turbines, something similar in size mounted on the top of a 50 foot pole could do much better and would have the capacity to charge something bigger than that tiny 5amp/hr(or so) lead-acid battery.

you would need a stronger base, more gears to transfer motion ect. its just not viable on large scale using recycled parts.

I've been waiting for these for years. I built something like this in college 25 years ago...didn't come to fruition though.. It makes so much sense. Could be several stacked up the windy corner of a building, or several small along a roof line without being very noticable. On commercial building or skyscrapers. Combined with other alternatves and energy efficient buildings, this is a huge part of the answer.
Thanks !
I'm gonna get me one.
