WATCH NOW!!! "Peter's Wind Generator" Part II

[phawkins71]

I would REALLY like to know just how much voltage it generates when the wind ISN'T blowing !

Ha Ha Ha !!

I use the ever-present action of the Magnetic Lines of Repulsive/Attractive Force to keep the rotor turning whether there is any wind or not ! Seems to generate power more reliably... to me.

[telosfd]

What is the power of project?

[kdc43]

altenator is spinning way way way way too slow.

[nadeem5476]

no info ! great 

[GRATZIANI2002]

Thanks ...but where is the invention?..

[brent440]

maybe a cone with tail for catching wind, small flap, microswitch to activate alternater. please tell me something better is already available. use this switch in conjunction with 4 truck batteries and it would power a medium appliance with a 110 volt inverter.  twenty of them could maybe power most of a home, and all fit in the back yard.

[MrSafetymeeting]

I don't think that alternator will last very long because it's bearings aren't designed to run that way.I might be wrong.Cool design.

[billman2112]

Nice, practical design. Good job.

[intj123]

these are called vertical axis wind turbines

[joebro391]

does anyone know if there are any advantages of this type of turbine, over the conventional bladed-turbine???

[breezebro]

Watch the video, DUMBASS! It tells you everything you want to know, bro.

[breezebro]

That's exactly the point! Quit shaking your head before something falls out.

[mageac]

main advantage i can think of is less moving parts to wear out

[joebro391]

perhaps, but what i've found out is it's best advantage is that the turbine does not have to be 'facing' the wind. no matter what direction the wind blows, it'll spin the turbine (i think)

[jiro9cuts0001]

Many advantages, you can put them just about anywhere, where a regular windmill turbine needs to be up relatively high and needs blade clearance, the mechanical parts are on or near ground level, they can take higher wind speeds without damage, can be made from common materials, doesn't need to turn into the wind for it to work due to the design, many other benefits.

[joebro391]

thank you

[breezebro]

Hey, why don't you post a video of your windshield wipers moving and let us hear the wind blow some more. Totally useless.

[lastmondaypast1]

wow looks pretty basic. basic just might be the awnser.

[MueraTelevisa]

works fine and it looks cool!

[corkedmachinima]

thankx for absolutely no info. What kind of volts/current?etc..

[awboyle]

all that is is a turbine roof vent

[DeanC993]

very nice! what generator do u use?

[54spiritedwill54]

Looks like it works very well, have you made others?

[UTubeGlennAR]

Sadly seems lotsO people post vids/never answer questions

IMHO

Seems alternators need both more RPMs n unless U supply 12Vdc to the alternator's stater/armature. U need 2 replace the armature with 1 that was designed with strong permeant magnets.

In the vid, I do not C a power supply 2 the alternator-only the volt meter

He is either using a atl. w/permanent magnets or is un aware of the need 2 add power 2 create the lines of flux that R needed to pass thru the field coil that makes the 12v

[fakiir]

just about all of these DIY turbines use neo magnets and air coils. the name of the game in micro wind power is to eliminate all input energy, as well as friction (in the form of magnetic cogging caused by iron core coils). there's no point generating 50 watts of DC if it takes 100 watts of DC to make the alternator work, etc.

[tntdns]

Do you want to market these? I have a marketing company?

[spikeychops]

POst video, then don't answerany questions about it's operation, design, anything.

Great.

[hyperbling]

what type of alternator did you use?

[jrryhy460]

How many volts does this wind generator produce? Plus, about how fast was wind speed seen on this video. I thank you for posting it.

[snoopdog68]

Nice.

[printfellow]

Nice! Looks like it works very well, have you made others? Do you use it to charge batteries, or? Do you think building one 2 or 3 times the size would be of any benefit? Very nice!

[smke833f]

Very interesting little Vawt Peter. I see you have it hooked to a generator of sorts. Does it generate any watts in a 10mph breeze?
