Have seen it hit about 130w on a 12V system but that takes a fair bit of wind though. Not heaps, but least works and helps generate some extra electricity.
On average, seen around 30 - 40w with normal breezy days.
I guess for my very first home made Mill, not too bad and a fun project.
I love sitting in my backyard on an evening and letting the wind blow through my hair but when people like you are running these devils inventions and using up all the wind there's not a lot left for the likes of me... If it was upto me i would have these banned so that everyone can enjoy the wind instead of people stealing it to drive these!!
I see it gets worse than this for you, as until now you did not know I am stealing the sunshine as well. I am running a nice big solar panel on my roof and am proud of what I have done.
what makes you special that you have to have all the wind just so that you can feel it running through your hair? People like you are the reason why such an important subject (renuable energy) does not get enough attention. Save the planet for next to come...don´t be so selfish I´m sure there is enough wind out there for you to enjoy yourself.
@fingerspies You have got SOME nerve. Don`t you know it`s people like us using up our hard-earned electricity to operate the fans that gives you a nice breeze? I just can`t believe the selfishness.
Nice clip. See video of my rooftop wind turbine project, go have a look if you are interested in home wind turbines. My install of rooftop wind turbines and solar panels at my house is in my videos, Subscribe to my channel if you like, I'll be posting more stuff. Thanks
The project cost a few hundred to build myself. I bought the DC motor off ebay, bought the TLC blades and used scrapped materials for the rest (Yaw system made with a ford axillary belt pulley. gen mount - welded angle iron. Tail & fin - metal tube and flat tin from an old sign)
Good locations can be tricky to suggest, however as long as you don't get much turbulence, have a constant wind supply, get it high above the surroundings it should work fairly well.
That is thanks to the Tri-Nando MM 35 inch rotor. Worth the money invested and has proven to be a great rotor for the Ametek motor. No one has complained about the generator and we are in an urban environment.
That said, the neighbors have been used to many antennas on the roof here, so nothing would surprise them anymore now. HI HI!
How much is the cost to purchase a wind mill like this.....Its seems pretty self moving where the wind goes. its good , I have a project to make power through wind in the near future by the grace of lord....i am looking for people who are directly into these things....take care
everyone I have talked to loves their tlg blades. I have a 4 blade 36 in rotor from tlg and it is a great little rotor. I just got done building a 850 watt machine with a 10 ft' rotor and I am not happy with the blades I carved from wood. I wish terry at tlg would make a set of blades of 8 ft or better I would like to put a set of his blades on my 850 watt machine.
I found mine on Ebay. Sometimes you find them and other times not. Keep an eye out there and if you are lucky, the 90V DC Ametek (very rare) is the best one for a wind generator. Varied results have been found with others with different voltage ratings, but the 30V DC motors seem to get a good mention for decent charge potential for a small motor. It has a low operating RPM spec, hence a good generator for it's size.
I run an 50w BP solar panel which sucks in quite a bit of power for my needs. Melbourne gets plenty of sunshine. The generator has peaked at 130w a few times but it needs a fairly good wind for it, so probably only supplies about 20% extra energy. If mounted at proper hight, I could expect much better results out of it but nevertheless am very happy with its performance for a home made job in suburbia.
heyy...how much electricity does this generate???

@knowledgemonger You won't weasel out of this one.

"There is no way energy can be produced by motion of magnetic poles".
is what you posted. twist and turn like a weasel but it remains intact.

Hi Guys
What sourt of areas are good for the commercial installation of a wind mill project?
Hills?
Planes?
Deserts?
I see my project will run with the power of WIND.....good luck every one.

Hi jphdg
It looks good...small thing, greater impact

are those tlg blades?

Yep - They certainly are. I used the Tri-Nado MM 36 inch rotor on an Ametek 30 motor. It is a great little rotor.

Where can I find that motor or something just as well?

Does this actually generate power, if yes, how much?
