V10-loaded (vawt,savonius,vertical axis,windturbine,ametek)

I saw a video where a guy took a motor from a drill and hooked it up to a wind turbine and was getting 24v :) with a very, very small motor.

I've gutted an old ryobi 18v cordless drill and kept the motor and I'm gonna try your design on a small scale.

i think you will do great, be paitient, it can get frustrating.

trying to post a link, ill try spelling it out, triple w dot ecoinnovationdotcodotnz/pdf/Wh­at%20is%20a%20Smart%20Drivedot­pdf

[emagnets]

i already got the pdf.

"thebacksheddotcom" has an open thread About F&P. chek it out.

thanks, thats the link ive been searching for, should provide lots of answers, ty ty ty!!!

what about smart drives in washing machines? im not sure what brands besides fisher&paykel have these? but looks like 100 watts+at 200 rpm, do u know of any forums for wind power that could be helpful?

[hason74]

i am thinking of using a wind blue pm generator, looks like it gives off about 100 watts at 275 rpm, what kinda wind spped is needed for this?

[emagnets]

i would suggest to biuld one of my V8-4"

it should not cost more than $100.00

you need 30 kmh wind to get 100watt using windblue with my V8.

[hason74]

could u use 2 ametek motors, 1 on top 1 on bottom, to get more watts?, i've been researching these, and i cant build a hawt because of restrictions in my area, but was looking into low wind alternatives and it seems a vawt may be the way to go

[emagnets]

you can do that but you need to biuld it a bit bigger otherwise a small one will not be able to sistain rotation under demand.

how bout if it was mounted with magnets in a way to make no friction or little friction, would it still need to be bigger? im new to this, so be gentle :)

[emagnets]

i accually have my v8-4" suspened using 8 ring magnets. you should see the other videos. it showed how i did it. very simple no friction.

[emagnets]

i am using Ametek 38 volts it is spect at 1150rpm

[multiviper]

what kind of watts are you getting from your vawt? Do you have a Battery bank..

very nice turbine.. thanks for your videos..

[emagnets]

i did not get much power, it was like 12watt at 10kmh, i was not sure because i did not have the tools to messure it correctlly.

Now i am waiting for rpm speed gauge and wind speed gauge and ones i get them i am going to collect proper data.

thanks

nice turbine. Im in process of building a small VAWT myself but my motor rpm is too high spec. What ametek ado you have?
