Wind Generator on my balcony (homemade)

[kaosj3]

Nice work!



[josephdupont]

Put a nicad battery out there and when charged a zener diode could light a n led

bring the battery in and replace it..

[knightcup]

are the leds wired parallel?

[adambus77]

@knightcup yes

[knightcup]

il make an effort to make one and il post it if its like yours.

[adambus77]

@knightcup nice! let me know

[knightcup]

do you have plans for this?

im sure ive the parts to recreate it

[adambus77]

@knightcup no, I improvised so I don't have plans. The generator is a brushed dc motor that at 12V have only 500 rpm. Probably It could be easy to built even better one from some strong neodymium magnets. The diameter of propeller is 35 cm and it's taken from an old fan.

that means nothing to me sorry, ive actually no clue how the power is converted or anything. looks cool thought, be cool to light your sitting room or something or a big tv.

better than bills

[adambus77]

@knightcup thanks! my generator still works - It has survived 5 months till now

[thegreatwoodlife]

@knightcup Power inverter. It turns DC into AC.

[knightcup]

thats cool

can you store the power somehow

[adambus77]

@knightcup thanks! I don't store energy now but I thought about it. I would be easy to charge R6 (AA) 1,2V accumulators (one or even two in series) or even a large capacitor (a few farads 3V rated)

cute I made one like this with drive pulleys from a vcr plastic ones. and a small dc motor like that it lit up 3 leds in a small solar spotlight.

[Hellafireleli]

thats cool man.

[adambus77]

@Hellafireleli thanx!

[cambigfoot88]

[adambus77]

@cambigfoot88 I found it but this propeller is from some fan
