My new $2.00 motor turbine with 4 inch pvc blades

you get 12v charged you need 14 volts but you have over looked it's not the volts that is hard to get it.s the amp. you need at less 20 volt for one battery and more at less 10 more for each one you add it not 20 would be much better

The reason you have to spin it faster than a treadmill motor is because an automotive motor is DC but it is not a Permanent magnet motor. The PM motors are what is needed to produce a good output.

Cool Blades and I like your simple design ideas... Albert Einstein said " Simplicty is the highest form of Science".

[TheWolfster001]

you could also use a pulley and belt to spin it faster...

What was the diameter of your rotor blades?

Nice video. A zener diode is only good for a few milliamp, but if you use a voltage regulator you could get 1 to 1.5 Amp. I think you might be better just to hook it through a 25 amp bridge and let the battery regulate the voltage and use a charge controller and dump the extra into a grid tie.

For a while, it looks like the windmill is powering your car. The big blades are kind of scary.

LOOKS PRETTY DUDE. NICE VIDEO. LAGER BLADES WITH GEAR UP PULLEYS.

VOLTAGE IS DIRECTLY PROPORTIONAL TO THE RPMS. SO 4 TO 1 RATIO WOULD DO GOOD WITH THE BLADES YOU HAVE NOW.

THANKS FOR SHARING. MUDDy

your idea make sense. But i still think getting neo mags from hard drive is the best solution... copper wire is more likely to be a problem to get in good condition and at cheap price

very Good job anyway

U might be able to get some of them in series with a gear system and longer blades or even swap your hawt for a vawt design that would give u more torque at low rpm but less rpm at high speed... Am sure there is a way to work this out.

Take care

I really want to see that idea with multiple motors in action. cool

You might need longer blades to get more power to turn it all.

Good luck and be safe. :-)

try a 4 or 5 blade sys with the 4'' pvc

I'd mount a piece of angle iron across the bed of the truck and use a C clamp to hold the pipe and a foot mount bottom of the bed for the bottom of the pole. Safety first.

Sounds like a fun project.can't wait to see what you create.TAKE CARE
