If you are going to use magnets, be sure that the turbine has enough torque to create some energy. I had the same problem with my vawt, it worked good, but from the moment I connected a small light bulb tot it, the turbine stopped turning. You can also get neodymium magnets from hard disks. They are one of the strongest mangets you can find.
@Maxime124 wow you just repeated every thing I said in one of my first videos. Thanks though, yep earth magnets rock, got about 15 hard drives but I will use off the shelf so I can get the right amount of pull for my coils
Hi Doug, FYI pumpkin plants will spread out all over the place, it's a plant that likes a lot of room. It'll over run that gray cargo box top easy. The tomato plants in the green pots will out grow them very quickly as well, ask the local local Dairy Queen for a few large ice cream buckets (around 4 gallons), mine sells them for a buck each. Other then that the garden looks great! Nothing more rewarding (or healthy) then eating some home grown veggies.
I'm looking forward to the progress reports on each of these projects. I'm truly interested in each one. I don't want just a brief summary on future developments of these projects, West Coast Doug. Give me details, details, and more details. You can not bore me. So give me all the details. Later from my side of the 'puter.
Hey Dave, It looks like all people have to do is three green things to do a month, is the message and thanks for the vid!! And the micro garden looks great, have a good green!!!!
I had no idea you were a gardener based on your previous videos. Glad to see that! The scallions look healthy. 1:26 - did your camera man laugh about not having a door? Man, that's awesome you are building that room for free and you're recycling materials! Love the windmill conversion idea. I'm itching to make another turbine myself. Keep up the great work.
@field16 The camera man needs to learn to hold that thing still and not make any noise, Ha Ha. Yep I did not even pay for the nails. I have a 100 inch screen I am itching to put in that room, its gonna be cool. LATER
@doug2877 It's the lens cap, common problem with those small video cameras when the wind picks up or movement of the camera and the cap dangling from the string hits the camera body, the sound resonates up to the mic. Try removing it next time and see the difference. To muffle wind get a lawn mover foam air filter and put it over the mic, this should help.
Hey DOUG. That is a cool shirt where did you get it? LOL I did not know it was a long sleave. I hope you like it. Cool garden Im working on mine. CHEERS FROM PANAMA SOUTH AMERICA.
@OBXSOLWIND I love the long sleeve bro, thanks again, cant wait ta see your garden. KNOWING YOU ITS HUGE. maybe I will use Panama (the song) in a future video. I forgot all about that song....LATER
the room project is looking good man, aint nuthin wrong with a small garden, your strawberries looking good man. i dig it. nice yard. got my pool up too, lol.
@10kpondguy I never take my pool down. Its been full for 5 years. this winter filled it to overflow from the rain. That saves me about 1500 gal. of water..Thanks for the comment...Later
