My husband loves this! He has a tow motor DC battery and he wants to make this and store it in the battery. (if that makes sense. He told me then ran to the garage, LOL)
I am, Running down a train of thought here mrgalleria, and I think if two units, were side by side, 1/ with a cowling, & 2/ one without a cowling, would each produce the same results, I favour the cowling directing and using the force given to a grater degree, and so offering more torque, !! what you think mrgalleria?,
Normally I would agree. But this design has such a large air capture area, I don't think a cowl would make a difference. This starts up in low wind speed, and has a lot of torque because so much surface area is exposed to oncoming wind. I plan to put a couple more up.
@mrgalleria Yes, I see what you are saying, very interesting, think i will try one myself this summer, there is something about your one here that catches me, "In my mind" though not sure what just yet, awaiting my brain to process info and get back to me LOL, in due course. will let you know "In due course" !!, thanks for info.
concerning expansion ratio's, would a given area of sail / have more force applied by a cold wind, or be even to a hot wind ? over a given area..... what do you think !. I am thinking ratio's of cold being compressed, but don't really know, just thinking out loud to you, LOL,
what size of motor will this drive ? could you show how you are connecting it all up !. do you hook to battery's ?
nice video looks good, I would kind of like to do one myself, as my roof gets all the wind from the fourth river, no buildings blocking it, cold !, " yes Very", so there has to be some benefit some place, figure this might be the pay off for all that direct wind i get funnelled up the river LOL...
@mrgalleria THANKS, I did not know ceiling fans had more torque," TA, but i see torque in two ways mralleria, 1/ is fine for transferability of power, 2/ is getting the power to create the transference in the first place, can the wind give enough power to the motor for this to take place,( I guess I am Asking the torque of wind) ? where is the balance ?, is the root im trying to understand, any advice will be "humbly received". thanks again.
Ceiling fans have many coils, and adding magnets to the rotor makes it possible to generate higher voltages. Not torque though, that is the turbines job. This design would have enough power to allow for gearing up the drive speed of the generator/alternator/ceiling fan.
Compare the surface area of this design with that of a typical bladed wind turbine.
yeah simple pin wheel

Good question.
I cannot say, I have no cold wind here.

I may use a modified ceiling fan, or fans. Lots of torque.
batteries, yes, or maybe an air compressor.

@mrgalleria MMMM,,,mmm you offer a lot to interpret before use, LOL, thanks for the guidance.

nice , you should try to put the blades around the outer side of the wheel

very nice mrgalleria...love the ideas here, very well presented my friend..
here is a great idea for conserving land space for growing your own food supply,
hydroponic gardening, saves space, grows faster, and uses no soil..
