  • Thanks for the vid generatorBlue. They are most helpful. Will use it here in SoTexas.

  • @twoZJs Thank you! One day I wish to come down to see a rodeo.

  • This is clever, well explained, and simple to do.

    Thank you.

    John

  • @jfperkins3 In my other (full) ceiling fan alternator videos you can observe magnets that are longer, sticking above the rim of the half cover. In order to close the unit, it will be best not to use the other half cover, which is made of metal. Even if the magnets are secured with resin, the metal cover could displace them (mag force). It will be simpler and faster to replace the metal cover with a plastic one of the same diameter. You will likely need to cut a plastic container and make it fit.

  • lol this man is time wasting

    it make me bored

    if this is woriking then show the fan woriking as inverter

  • @kingfaisal550 You can watch the same fan motor working with different magnets in the following videos on the "generatorblue" channel.

    Ceiling Fan Alternator 125+ volts

    Ceiling fan alternator's 230+ volts

    You should also watch: Ceiling fan alternator: History & Wires

    If you find them funny, I will try to become a comedian just to keep you happy. I wish I could laugh when I am bored.

  • @generatorblue hey i have have told you just for this video not for your all videos what is special in this video this video is just wasting my time i m looking for the method by which a celling fan is converted into inverter but in this video there is no conversion of a celling fan into inverter

  • @kingfaisal550 You are almost there. You must be first able to remove the original rotor from the motor. You will need to watch the video entitled: "Ceiling fan alternator: Rotor removal"

    To appreciate my videos, you will need to watch other video transformations of ceiling fans.

    I try to avoid damaging any part of the motor. The "half ceiling fan alternator" video tells you how to choose the ideal shape of the ceiling fan motor (housing) and how to easily locate the position of the magnets.

  • @generatorblue thanks for guidence

  • @kingfaisal550 You are welcome! In your next "Michael Jackson" video, could you make sure that the viewers can see your feet. You should also watch the following video on Youtube: Origins of the Moonwalk

    Take care!

  • I have been mining wire from discarded televisions the yoke and the gauss ring around the picture tube for enamled magnet wire also I have found computer monitors a good sorce you have to be creative when unwinding the wire ( and patiant ! ) A great sorce for magnets is inside computer hard drives but be carefull because some of the platters are made of glass and ceramics instead of aluminum

  • @stevenvantuyl44 The easiest coils I recycled came from the fans used in microwaves ovens. I remember either unscrewing or drilling through some rivets that held the laminated iron plates' assembly together. The centerpiece was loose and I was able to retrieve the coil without much effort and without any damage. The magnet wire was not glued to itself either. But the wire was very thin. Maybe I should have used 3 wires in parallel. It took a lot of work to get the coil from the big transformer.

  • I do like what you have done with the magnets but there is one thing you may be overlooking, even though magnets are scintered when they are made and cannot be machined such as drilling or tapping for screws they can be ground with tools such as dremmel type equipment and possably even sanders or grinders BUT DO KEEP IN MIND THAT ANY GRINDING MUST HAVE A RISK OF BREAKING THE MAGNET IF IT IS NOT DONE CAREFULLY AND SLOWLY ALSO NEODIMIUM MAGNETS WILL LOSE THE MAGNITISIM IF THEY ARE HEATED

  • @stevenvantuyl44 Hi! I really appreciate the knowledge that you are giving me. If you know how to transform copper wire into magnet wire, please let me know as well because I plan to give it a try. My goal is to build machines with standard parts without modifying them. I do not know if I will get it done on time but I will keep trying. The Internet is like a museum of standard parts where I look for the affordable ones. The prices for magnets and magnet wire have me looking for alternatives.

  • Looks good. What glue did you used ?

    If I understood right you did not used any rectifier if you want to charge a battery you will need one or at least one diode. You will also need to monitor your battery not to get overcharged.

    Is probably cheaper end easier to buy an used AC servo motor like the one in my first video on youtube that already have the permanent magnets installed.

  • @electrodacus I used the same ceiling fan with different magnet setups in 4 videos. I used Super glue or crazy glue to temporarily hold the magnets in place and then scraped the glue off with razor blades before changing the configuration of the magnets. However I use resin to make things permanent. I saw your motor. I stayed away from servomotors because they have gears. In an urban setting gear noise can be annoying. In one video I compare the output of a scooter motor to a ceiling fan.Thanks

  • @generatorblue No the servo motors usually do not have gears none of my 4 servo have any gears so no noise.

    I so the video with the scooter fan and that one is not good since is also having brushes that will wear out.

  • @electrodacus The real problem is that some scooter motors are completely sealed (welded close). I will soon try to open a motor without destroying it. If the spring that is applying pressure on the carbon brush also has a restraining cable inserted at its center to prevent the metal spring from making contact with the rotor when the carbon brush is eroded and almost gone, then the motor will generate for a finite number of months, days or hours. If it lasts a year before changing brushes: ok

  • Thank you for a great design idea. The BP afterword was also unexpected but much appreciated!

  • @jkrootz I simplified the transformation by not adding a ring. In the “ceiling fan alternator 125+ volts” video I stuck tall rectangular magnets to one of the motor covers. These rectangular magnets extended above the rim and will also stick to the other cover. Because of the length (extension) of the rectangular magnets, I was able to center the disk magnets at the same level as the coils.

    The size of the BP pipe did not change and they knew what the pressure was hours before the explosion.

  • Excellent! Are these magnets re-purposed from other scrap or specially bought? My electronics knowledge is old and rusty so could you do another video taking this contraption and charging something? Are you meant to hand crank that thing, like a dynamo? I love this idea! I think a bit like you...some people see an old fan, I see a potential clothes dryer....(didn't work out.)

  • @1111atreides I post my videos the first day I get the device to work. If I had to do it over, I would have clean fingernails as well. You will need to rectify the current to charge batteries. However you can hook it up directly to a car headlight or other car light bulbs, which I did. DID you say dryer? One of my ideas is to rotate the wire mesh cage seen in the "Wind or Catamaran on a River Turbine" with two ceiling fans. By adding a gate to the cage, I will have an "Outdoors Clothes Dryer."

  • Very nice, I like it. It looks easy indeed, I will keep my eyes open for a used ceiling fan. And I agree with you about BP. There is no need for guessing, but I think that the people in charge know exactly how much oil is spilled. Have you ever heard about aquaponics? I think you will like it. It is the easiest and most comfortable and efficient way to grow food. No weeding, no fertilizers. It is almost a closed loop eco system. You can see many examples from various systems here on youtube :-))

  • @insAneTunA,I will check out aquaponics. For now, I am very impressed with the Topsy Turvy planters because I have that image of parallel horizontal bars eight feet apart from each other and rising up 80 feet from the ground. Wide racks with ten rows of Topsy Turvey plants, Water dripping down from the top rows to the bottom row will be an efficient irrigation system with solar pumps. Sunny arid land can now be cultivated on a wide scale. Racks built with water pipes and triangular end support.

  • @generatorblue I didn't know what topsy turner was, but I looked it up, and ithat seems easy as well. With my aquaponics system I used a plastic pipe from 4 inch . I drilled some holes so a small plantpot fits in the holes. Then I pump water from my fishpond through the pipe, and the water end up back in my fishpond. The fish waste is converted into nutrients, and it is possible to grow eatable fish as well. But in the future I might do the topsy turner planter as well. Thanks for sharing :-))

  • I will spend some time studying your aquaponics system. After I wrote the last message, I came to realize that I was talking about using scaffolds to hang lots of topsy turvy planters. I do not know a lot about fish farming or even farming. I plant about 30 tomato plants, 30 string beans, and twenty pepper plants.

    I harvest a lot of tomatoes, some beans and a few peppers. Bugs and squirrels eat most of the peppers and the slugs and some other bugs eat the leaves of the bean plants.

  • @generatorblue I am writing a script for a video in which I will try to explain the things that I did with my system. I will show all the plants and explain what function they have. I will also explain how I keep my water clean from algae without chemicals. But that's a work in progress. Once a system is running the joy begins
