CD wind turbine

[Klemens73]

Logitech quickly turning wind turbine..... 

[jayholley123]

logitech cd lol

[Klemens73]

Nickelback in the wind , is well....

[EpicAbsol]

looks like we finally found a use for that nickleback cd

[Klemens73]

Disney's use , will be fun. Children will enjoy.

[bontromium]

what is the best dvd or cd ? horror or disney which type get the best results ?

[Klemens73]

..do not know what the answer....

[Klemens73]

Stepper is weak. LED little need

[juzzlookin]

Must be a lot of demand to light leds?

[Klemens73]

Stepper motor is bigger is better, LED lights better.

[Klemens73]

More importantly, less emision. Low power, Albert Betz aerodynamic theory, does not matter.

[eaglebearlion]

Nice try man- see what you can do aerodynamics possibly. I like the idea of making junk useful

[TheFuriaRS]

Did anyone notice the Logitech mark? ^^ Thumbs up if you did! :D

[Klemens73]

I wrote maybe wrong. DC or stepper, if CD wind turbine will turn , LED lights. Is the most important.

[Klemens73]

...not a good wind, no RPM....

[Aluvn4ever]

the light doesn't work

[Klemens73]

Not RPM. Necessary voltage multiplier.

[ecookman]

@Klemens73 howbaouta..... amplifier circuit *wink*

[Mussawarx]

Non of three LEDs turned ON.  LOL

[Spoif]

Anyone seen my "Trust Driver Disk" anywhere... I'm sure I left it on the table yesterday.  ;)

[Sweasy26]

5*****!

[Klemens73]

Ja ...genau..

[deronjasan]

Logitech

Trust

. . .

[FvNRoooZter]

@Klemens73

Nicht ernsthaft oder?

[Torcika]

I hope those are Justin Bieber cd's

[175myles]

So those useless disk's you get with music purchases and in magazines are not so useless after all.

[Madurjafro]

This is the kinda stuff Your gonna see in an Apocalypse.

[ALKUKES]

and there you do you can make your boat engine run ahhhaha

[Klemens73]

Wind turbine made from floppy motors , they could be taken from old printers.....

[sikkepossu]

@Klemens73 Sorry to inform you but printers does not have floppy motors. Floppy drives have floppy motors. Both of them have stepper motors, though.

[danphobic]

Nice looking coils there Kiemens. That looks like a radial flux design. Can I ask where you got the alternator or did you build it from design?

[Klemens73]

That day wind was weak, not enough to light LED s , RPM should be increased in making larger turbine, nevertheless a construction become fragile.

[jjesl]

FAIL, of course its about RPM, but first study the theory of generators to make an efficient design

[danphobic]

@jjesl Ha ha, wow you're a little harsh. This is all part of a learning process so, no this isn't a FAIL, it's the path to a success. That's how experimentation works.

[Towellick]

@danphobic pwned. very nice point sir

[helloman1976]

Very cool man, keep up the good work and thanks for posting!

[jonnyasprin]

it takes a lot of R.P.M. to light a L.E.D. light,I've learned that from experience.

[olisnetzwerk]

Cool ;-)

[boanfam]

Looks like a good lazy afternoon project. A couple of these on a boat could probably run the whole shooting match. I love the freecycling of using old CDs..

[laithnour]

a load of old bollox, mate

[tappakeggaday1]

@laithnour I would tend to agree,no mention in the description on what the power out put was or anything.It may have well just have been a glorified pinwheel..

[dulcebelluminexperti]

What is this? May you explain how it was done

[Anubis1372]

excellent...i like that!
