Homemade Wind Turbine - POC

[fitnesus]

Nice Video That You Share , So Very Nice Thanks You Here is a proof of concept that I did for a Wind Turbine and Solar charging system connected to a charge controller system.

[lupabuatchannel]

I Really Like The Video From Your Wind Turbine and Solar charging system connected to a charge controller system. The solar panel is simply two small 5w panels wired in parallel to get 10w of power.

bigger panels dude

[jimmygboyd]

very freaking cool. 

[Samt1958]

Great Job! I'm Green with envy, lol. Will start on mime soon.

[starhild1]

I'm gonna build a small wind turbine but I don't know what kind of generator to use.

My goal is to charge an ipod/iphone etc. so 5-35V is okay and max 1A.

I guess the blades will be pretty small but right now I want to now what kind of generator I should buy. If you have any ideas please PM me, ebay-links would be great and advices are also appricieated. My english is not perfect, I know.

[esportosa]

very very nice

[natepalmer1800]

i have the same build concept of yours with the pipe

and things.

i have 5 bateries from an old train and i have 2 turbines like yours

runing into each of them.

if you find a scrap yard you can buy them train bateries cheep

and they are realy a great power source

[natepalmer1800]

i apreciate the you taking the time to show us your work,

i learned enof to start my own thankssssssss

[boharihamen]

Good job, i salute you sir.

[jefferson123828]

nice amazing good work I also would do your wind turbine I can not do

[buzadam91]

great work :)

[MrLagros]

@PBFloyd7 Thanks for the comments... yes, in theory 100W x 24 hours would be 2.4 KWh a day. That being said, its not realistic. You would need a lot of really good wind for that. Where I live I don't have good wind all day long, its usually only the morning or evening. Any PMA motor would work, but you need one that puts out HIGH amps at low rpm. Good luck with your projects...

[MrMotelone]

how much it cost

[MrLagros]

@MrMotelone Hard to say... the turbine it self is about 150 bucks. I have more like 500 in my new updated system. Thanks for the comment.

[brianjoreski]

im impressed, you have a very clean setup. thanks for sharing this video. it's helpful

[12speak34]

I am attempting to do my own small turbine but some of the math is confusing me. How many kwh do you get from your turbine?

[MrLagros]

@12speak34 Good question, the key to this answer is sustained output. I really only see about 55 - 100 watts sustained output from my new rig. It can peak up to 250 watts in large winds, but these are not avg. One thing I would say people need to keep in mind.

[MrLagros]

@ChickenHater550 Can we see a video of your system? Checked your channel, and I don't see anything.

[crackawise]

@ChickenHater550 Or you some jackass that just likes talks shit while hiding behind the keyboard...another internet commando.

[ptboy4]

@ChickenHater550 my opinion. You're an ass. the system is cool , working and well.

MrLargos congratulations on your project, it's really nice

I'm subbing you. :-)

[mysticalsoulqc]

@ChickenHater550 bragger! lolll

[tongueboy500]

Hey, great system, apologies if other ppl have asked this... is ur turbine outputting ac? if so is ur rectifier in ur charge controller?

Cheers

[MrLagros]

@tongueboy500 Thanks for the comment... on this video the turbine is outputting DC, so I don't use a rectifier, but on some of my other videos, I have used AC output and a rectifier. Given my short distance on the pole, I can't really tell a difference.

[ambrose361]

your resistor wires are to small increase the gauage for your dummp oh yeah raise the turbine 25 or more feet

[ambrose361]

[daddioskater76]

would like to know more about the "back 40 electricity", texas9735, do u have a supporting video or photo of what u are talkin about?

[TXCoindigger]

Very Nice start.

[Virginijus86]

super vyrai taip ir toliau šaunuoliai ;)

[texas9735]

wow i been thinking about using wind here at my place for the lights can i use car alternator i have like 20 new ones and i just put blads on them and run them to the battery ?i have never doing anything like this but would love to get it where i am not useing any power from the poll lol

[MrLagros]

@texas9735 Thanks for watching... Yes and No, a Car alternator usually has to be energized before it can make power, unlike a PMA (permanent magnet). Its probably possible, but I think it would take some figuring to get the alternator powered up before you can create power. Good luck with your projects!

[slowfinger2]

@texas9735 Here's how it's done with alternators by the old farmers when they want to get power out in the back 40. Small engine (or wind or water) powers a belt that goes around 10 alternators mounted on a big plywood circle. That gives you household current. Use for whatever. You can arc weld with this rig. 20 alternators gives 220 volts. That's two sets of 10 in paralell. Just need run it with something small, having enough torgue to overcome the resistance from the alternators.

[bruceandberni]

Nice installation. I have 13 of the 15 watt panels, 1 35 watt panel, and 1 100 watt panel. I am very disappointed in the output from my system. I use 3 deep cycle batteries. However, I have not been using a charge controller. I use a 400 watt inverter and about all i do with the system is keep a laptop charged, use 1 cfm low watt light for maybe 4 hours a night, and stil, i run out of power.

I really want to build a wind gen, but am still researching. .

[MrLagros]

@bruceandberni Thanks for the comment. If I did my math right, you should have about 330 watts (27.5 amps @ 12v) of power coming from solar. I know most laptop chargers go at about 60 watts (5 amps @ 12v) and assuming 15 watt (1.25 amp @ 12v) cfl light. You are pulling around 6.25 amp hrs for say 4 hours. Seems like you may have a bad battery in your system because I would think on a nice sunny day you would be putting that back in easy. I would for sure invest in a charge controller!

[bruceandberni]

@MrLagros : Yes, that's about right. I have to change batteries about every year. I am considering getting a de-sulfator. There is one iv'e seen reviewed a lot here on Youtube, I think they call it the infinitum. Either that, or try to build my own from the many examples also here on Youtube. But I really want to build a wind generator. I am just confused at how to use the excess power, or how to utilize the under power. I am considering using a car alternator for its inbuilt regulator.

[rccarmadben]

@bruceandberni use an old electric bike or scooter motor

they dont take mutch to spin car alternaters do

[74drift]

very cool

[phatlety]

i like your experiment . I'm thinkng about startong my own, but I live in florida and and the city codes are strict. love what your doing.

[helloman1976]

Awesome system and well done. The only recommendation would be to get wider blades or longer blades to drive that big "motor" generator you have in there. Another idea would be to use a squirrel cage versus a propeller system that has to change direction to find the wind. Good work!

[crazyskier537]

wait... does poc mean piece of crap?

No just kidding

[droppermyth1]

The guy seems me a 20% Engineer!

Buy my question, why did the fan stop moving after sometime ? May be his battery got weaken and could not give the electricity to the fan! Or might be the motor in the fan got burnt!

These are two my findings!

[MrLagros]

@droppermyth1

8 seconds ago

I'm not really sure what your digging at? The wind is what causes the spin of the blade, and there was a lack of wind.  There is a blocking diode in place to prevent the battery from trying to power the motor.

[rodwy]

@MrLagros droppermyth is just trolling...

I have 6 (15 watt) panels and some golf cart batteries on my shed. Works really well. I have the 1000w inverter looks just like yours. I love my system and want power some of the house next. I applaud your effort and hope you keep at it!.

[derman077]

@MrLagros He's lying to you on purpose. Just to get a rise out of you. It's a habit picked up by lonely internet people since dubbed "trolls" You've been trolled.lol

[rdahonan]

hello sir, i like you concept very much! could i ask for your email address or email me thru rdahonan@yahoo.com... i just want to ask some question on things. i am a hobbiest but here in the Philippines, things are not that available or popular regarding renewable energy.

[laidofftomass]

looks good

[12koehlean]

that is probley one of the coolest smartest things that i have ever seen so what did you use for the actual gererator in the wind terbine

[MrLagros]

@12koehlean It was a motor from a treadmill... thanks for the comment.

[ripadisc]

great job very impressed thanks for sharing ireland

[exposethetruthnow]

Awesome Job ! thanks for sharing. Can u tell me where u bought the blades? and had u considered longer bigger?

[MrLagros]

@exposethetruthnow Thanks! I got the blades from WindyNation. I went with the 5 blades for the extra torque and easy startup. Don't know that longer or bigger would have been been better.

[dpdevil1]

Looks good nice turbine!!! Great set up!!! Keep it a going, Thanks

[Sexton1123]

Looks great ! clean an organize ! Great job ! im Putting together a 1.3 kw solar array in the late spring also.

[tor442]

Your setup is great, but it looks like your tower setup is weak, big winds might rip all that out and your poles wil fall!!! I'd at least seriously consider guy wires, even if they are a pita.

[MrLagros]

Hi tor442, your correct my tower setup is/was lacking. It has since undergone some changes, starting with replacing the PVC housing with a sturdier welded metal frame and upgraded PMA. I also increased my pole diameter and plan to incorporate some type of guy wire system to help strengthen my tower. Check out my other videos to see the progress. Thanks for the comment!

[GeraldDragon]

Very nice start, well done.

[arkidommel]

what is motor "PMA" mean?

[MrLagros]

With regards to a wind turbine, a PMA means "Permanent Magnet Alternator".

[MrLagros]

Currently I have to use two multimeters (volts * amps = watts). I recently got two gauges that I plan to wire into the system . I will post a new video that actually shows some real numbers and performance of the system As for the hight of the tower, I am trying to avoid using guy-wires on my turbine. However I may have to reconsider as a simple move of 5 more feet seemed to have a very good effect on the turbine. Thanks for the comments!

[snowboardr147852]

great vid.

just wondering. how do you calculate the watts the turbine in producing??

thanks.

[natedogg1026]

It's small but a GREAT start! Very creative. Can you stick that tower higher?

[michael970]

I think you have a great little system .I just got into alt energy last year.I think its an awesome hobby.check out my videos if you get a chance.keep us updated on your system .thanks
