  • ___ w w w diymagneticmotor com for FREE energy|~

  • think you might need a stronger pole lol nice to see someone actually trying to save this planet. if i had enough money id invest in making a mini damm in my local river and having a turbine running off the power of water presure. or maybe a magnet motor.

  • It's great to see projects like these.I urge people interested in creating their own personal projects to Google "How to produce solar energy" You will find guides to help you do your own.

  • Great distraction and great vide0!! thank u downloadmusic .im

  • how build one

  • The wind turbine is located at its best position facing at the direction of the wind. As you can see, when the wind is gaining its full force, the wind turbine is also working heavily. It is appropriate to set up your wind turbine in a location to where the wind blows.

  • The cost can be very very small. I have two windmills up one 25 ft tower and one 60 ft tower 6 high cap agm batteries ,wiring,controller,and inverter powering my shop off grid. the cost was less than 250.00 total. talking to suppliers and recyclers and checking out forums on the web is the best resourse out there.

    good luck and have fun. ( you will not ge rich doing this. do it for pride in doing something for your self.)

  • Yes indeed we all need one of this. Thanks for posting the video

  • the one up higher looks more stable. mast on short one too light duty, lead to bad accident im afraid. be careful on that to make mast very stout.

  • yay! now i can power up my hamsters treadmill!

    LOL wut!

  • This is very interesting, how you designed the wind mill. I think it is a fine start to bigger and better ones. Keep going, one thing I have learned about creating something from nothing is, improvement is always an asset.

  • Get it up there another ten feet!!!

  • @jcf005 exactly what i was thinking, probably double/triple the output.

  • LOL

  • Too flimsy 

  • how to made it ????

  • thanks for sharing!

  • this looks like it generates enough electricity to power a small light ...

  • "Free" as in freely available.

  • lol it is speeded up, see at 0:54 there are some super fast birds flying in the sky hehe also look at the sky and clouds they are also moving very fast its so fake.

  • @RobLikes ive seen your grandmother walk faster than that you fool

  • @RobLikes Birds don't fly that fast in noobville where you're from?

  • I hate to talk mainstream Per Se`. But Target sells a 500 watt wind turbine for about 500 bucks and it's supposed to be an all in one kit.

  • @hasukumori with the right know how and some time you could make that same large wind turbine in the video for under 300 dollars

  • ok so im going green and i would like to have an idea of how much energy i could use from a simple set up like this, and how to build one.

  • i built a propeller with his idea

  • hahahaha....this was simple fan with electricity......guy wanna make us fool...................

  • I have built a non wind turbine belt conveyor turbine cog driver it may sound a bit complicated but it's very similar to having a dog and still barking yourself abit pointless but don't be deterred alot of people spend hours and hours a day building absolute worthless rubbish and you never know by some miracle something might look good or even work, but please don't get too optimistic it might lead to much dissapointment :)

  • shouldnt that be berth, and who's and earlier comments credibility and population has nothing to do with industrialization, it comes from unprotected sex.

  • is this with a car alternator?

  • just a qyestion, lets say i have build my own wind powered generator, what now, where can i get a battery that has a huge capasity and can be used to the house electricity network, and how do i put it so i wont be paying so much to electricity company, i mean i can put it to my household but wont the company still bill me for every mgw?

  • The problem is NOT to build a wind turbine, but to convert the energy into useable energy and to store it. If you go for a project like that, you'll put more money into converters and batteries than into the wind turbine itself. But after all, thanks for the video and your additional infos.

  • @Sky14657 where can I find good info on the converters and batteries? Thanks.

  • @bptaylor11 google.com......

  • @theewelder I never heard of google, thanks for the info.

  • Installing wind turbines at home initially is expensive but once done, it provides energy at lower costs. Wind is a renewable source of energy, it is always available. Pacific Crest Transformers specializes in the manufacture of liquid-filled distribution transformers...It offers energy-efficient transformers for wind energy farms.

  • Thanks for the links

  • Anything that curbs greenhouse gas emissions I support.

  • Me to!

    (thumbs up for your comment)

  • Really?

    Culling the human population by 60% would curb greenhouse gas emissions.

  • There are many in the world who think that way.

    Indeed, many who attempt to fulfill that ideal.

    But I don't see 6 out of 10 people stepping forward to give their lives for this ideal.

    So, in your opinion, who should we kill?

  • We should not kill anyone.

    First off, it's a despicable thing to do. Worse than suffering the effects of global warming.

    Secondly, if you *did* want to reduce the human population there's no need to kill anyone at all. Presently about 150,000 people die each day around the world from various causes. The trick is not to produce so many replacements.

    Nevertheless I'm not an advocate of this, I was asking if fjeffrey10 was, considering his comment.

  • actually not really.

    Since the top 5% of people own like 90+% of the wealth and GDP and thus emissions you could kill 60% of people and get no near no change in emissions or kill 5% and go back to near pre-industrialised emissions.

  • actually yes really.

    if you were to kill 60% of the worlds *poorest*, that would include all of china (with a GDP per capita in intl$ of $6k) yet china also contributes a full 20% of the world's carbon emissions.

    thus you would get a significant change in emissions.

    this is because wealth and emissions are not directly proportional.

    bill gates is about 1.2 million times wealthier than me, yet for his carbon emissions to be in direct proportion they would be equivalent to a small country

  • Again, not really. Your assuming all the poor in rank fall into the same country. The bottom 60% of the world citizenry in wealth would not all come from china.

    They would be a global collection of the homeless with a large proportion coming from Africa.

    The thing is, bill gates does produce a lot more pollution than you. Its his working capital that drives factory's. When your working capital only drives your car and your house. (assuming you don't have shares in some industry).

  • Yes, bill gates emissions ARE that of a small country. His money is invested, not sitting under his bed. They are driving production and deliveries etc...

    Your carbon emiisions for GDP is not as simple as how many lights you have on etc. Bill gates uses a similar amount to you personally, but who do the lights and air conditioners at MS HQ ultimtely belong too? Its Bill's lights, not the employees. Its his CO2 not his employees.

    In short, the world runs a carbon economy. Wealth = Emissions.

  • not that i am suggesting we kill either all the rich people (our civilisation would fall apart) or all the chinese (because, um... well it's just wrong).

    but if we are going to argue about it we should get the facts right no?

  • Right. You would be right if the rich had all their money under their beds. But like I said, warren Buffets money is in a factory somewhere producing CO2. So again if the 5% of people with the vast majority of wealth vaporised with all there Capital....

  • Do you seriously believe what you're saying?

    It's the bottom 60% working in these bloody factories that make the emissions possible.

    It doesn't matter *which* 60% you take, the emissions will reduce by largely the same amount. The emissions caused by the factories could not take place without people working in them. The factories would exist at all if there weren't millions of people (rich, middle class and poor alike) to buy their products.

  • "It's the bottom 60% ... emissions possible" Exactly what I am saying. Those count as the owners emissions, not theirs.

    "The factories would exist at all if there weren't millions of people (rich, middle class and poor alike) to buy their products" OFC, if these rich people all died nobody is gonna leave their factories unused, hence why we both said its a hypothetical situation. But in interests of being accurate, its the emissions of the owners not the workers.

  • Who is responsible for the emissions released during the production of a cell phone charger?

    The rich guy who owns the factory or the schmuck that buys the phone?

    60% fewer people means 60% fewer products sold, 60% less area required for farms and so on...

  • 60% fewer people means 60% fewer products sold, 60% less area required for farms..."

    That again is wrong. Some groups even within countries consume much more. I wish to god you were right. But as it stands people in the west consume far more energy on average per head than the avg in india, but even in india there will be many who consume more than us..

    In short , you could find ~3.5B people (60%) in the world from all over who live of scraps and sleep outside... who emit near nothing.

  • 60% fewer people means 60% fewer products sold, 60% less area required for farms..."

    If you select a random 60%, then the above is correct.

    If you select the poorest then sure, you'll get less than a 60% reduction. How much less? That requires some serious analysis

  • If you cull 60% of people at random, then ofc you will kill 60% of that top 5% that owns most of the planets capital (i.e emission producing industry)

    If you read back I was talking more about large swaths that are more consistent with some sort of bomb or impact.

    Not really a serious analysis. Its known 1 Billion are starving and live of scraps i.e food not even grown for them.. Its also known they're only 800k think about that, the vast majority of people emit near no transport CO2.

  • When you look at anecdotes like "Less than 50% of the world use toilet paper" you gotta think how little they consume, if toilet roll is not even on their buy list.

    Ofc back to reality, if the rich died suddenly, their factories, farms and mines would not disappear. Someone else would use them.

    The point was you brought up; "facts right no?".

    I feel you are misrepresenting the fact of the poors emissions by claiming their deaths could cut emissions when they wipe their asses with leaves.

  • WTF?

    Now you're just being silly, grow up.

  • what? silly?! never mind mate. Keep thinking that 60% of the worlds poorest receive any significant benefits from industrialisation....

    Arsehole, I was being polite in not rubbishing your econmic nonsense from the start but if you are going to be like that you can fuck yourself.

  • Aww princess, do you feel embarrassed now?

    Should do, you slept right through economics class...

    The 60% of the world's poorest are largely there because of corruption :-P It's not the rich countries fault ;-)

  • Where did I blame anyone for the poor being poor? Learn English comprehension.

    Its you who knows ZERO about economics, demonstrated when you did not realise someone like Bill gates actually DOES emit a lot more emissions than you because of his WORKING capital.

    I politely corrected you as I largely agreed with your comments earlier about population. Then in your buffoonish arrogance you decided to be flippant & sarcastic throwing away what little creditbility you had.

    YOU ARE STUPID.

  • Yawn.

    I don't think you've been twisting what I say out of malice, you're just having some "difficulty times" with your reading comprehension.

    Judging by user comments on your profile it is something you make a habit of ;-)

    Stay in school!

  • Whose twisting your gibberish? I actually agreed with your earlier remarks about population control and how to archive it.

    Which is why I gave you such a wide birth to explain yourself, instead you did what the stupid do the world over when they hit a mental brick wall.

    BTW Thanks for signing my record of idiots. You belong up their with the internet nazis, and relgious loons I preserve...

    Gratz You're immortalised forever, pls copy and paste some of your dumb economics too :)

  • Oh yeah and BTW...

    If 60% of the world's poorest do not receive and significant benefits from industrialisation, why are there so many of the buggers?

    You can't support a population of 3.5B poor people *without* industrialisation.

  • They recive an insignificant amount ( I never said none) of the industrial products.

    What they recive is almost all food. Again to releterate only 800m cars on the planet. Read that as cars are owned by ONLY 11% of people.

    Most people don't benefit from any of the goods who's production and use make up the bulk of planets GDP and emissions.

    Half the food they eat are 'scraps' i.e would be produced and thrown away regardless of their existence, same with most of there clothes.

  • i wish i had a garden. i would do this also. it's so elegant and logical.

  • steal electricity from your neighbours! that is what i do :D

  • still does not solve our world wide crisis here

  • they might notice the extension cord...mine did. Maybe the bright orange one wasn't the best choice either.

  • If you see a stranger in the middle of the night hooking up wires to your power lines that runs your house.....it is just me. I'm stealing your electricity!!!!

  • where is my AXE.... I will chop off your hands :D Just kidding.... or NOT! :D

  • Yea I used to think GOvt and Big business wouldnt lie to us about alternative energy but the more I look into it, we are being stiffed.

  • You would need planning permission to put one of these up. Which is stupid imo, but none the less true.

  • Depends where you live.

    My local council building has one on the roof to set an example.

    Unfortunately their call centre doesn't take calls on days without wind...

  • Hey, check out my website at ScientificallyGreener(Dot) com and get all the new and improved Equipments to build or buy your own solar panels and wind energy turbine systems ScientificallyGreener(Dot) com is a website that sells the most modern environmental products available

  • you could save electricty when growin weed

  • HELL YEH

  • I want to to do this one day with my home. Not for environmental reasons...but that's what I'll tell the neighbors. The truth is, I'm cheap. I just hate the sound they make at night when you're trying to sleep.

  • A higher mast will get the props out of the turbulence that the house and trees are causing. I hope you can get one. : )

    I have some friends who power 20 % or so of their house with one of these (but bigger) and some solar panels.

  • Even better.You put a turbine in every pipe in ur house.

  • how much energy could you get in terms of powering something from one of those turbines.

  • by the types of turbine u use.

  • @screwopenborders it depends on the generator, the wind speed and your windmill design.

  • Comment removed

  • I call bullshit

  • so what does it produce? i want to create one to power a 100w lamp for 12 hours a day

  • Is the generator a motor that is easily available?

    Thanks for posting this. Think there's a point to building a shield around the spinning blades?

  • Fascinating!

  • Nice project - really does produce electricity!

  • it was not going as fast they just fast forward it if u look at the birds fly in 0:49

  • oh please!! that statement is made even more moronic by the fact that the windmill on the ground has slowed down while the one on the roof facing the wind is spinning fast.. Then there is the matter of perspective, the view of the birds in relation to the camera and angle. Don't post nonsense trying to discredit that which you dont know.

    Not everyone is out to deceive you..

  • plus to add to your comment. The one on the roof will always spin faster since it has no/less objects in its wind source. Fast forward? he needs a better monitor or video card.

  • AMEN

  • @DHMIII actually birds are really fast... im surprised neither of you seam to realise thats "normal" speed for a bird? and also i dont think you get much energy from that thing... its far to "light" to produce any real electricity

  • @Dasmaster1 missed the point.

  • @DHMIII im not here to make a point, just putting in some info...

  • @Dasmaster1 If you missed the point, the info is irrelevant. Any energy, that is clean and not dependent on a big company to produce and charge you a substantial fraction of your income, is enough. A wind generator isn't going to be the single answer for most energy hog americans.. combined with several solar panels and another small wind generator, or one larger one should do the trick for most.

  • @DHMIII perhaps, perhaps but i would recommend using "solar powered water heating" that is basically pipers running through a glass tube containing vacuum because it has a reputation of working a bit TO well so you have to pour out some of the water and fill up with cold water before it starts to boil xD

  • @Dasmaster1 Indeed, Indeed.. I have even seen a YT vid on how to make your own out of recycled soda cans.. good stuff.

  • it will get fast even then there is just a little bit of wind

    i've made a extra weight so it will turn even then there is no wind and its constant energy

  • Comment removed

  • you could use this to charge 12v baterys and use them to power your home. or even larger ones

  • Comment removed

  • (cont) it should also be noted, people should start with the basics of conserving energy and really watching their wastefulness. Eventually these technologies will be enough.

  • (comment cont.) do they have the free space to deploy such energy collecting devices Yes, individual power generation from natural sources is a fine idea but the practical problems are enormous-if they weren't migrating to this type of home-made energy would be easy. It's not.

  • I agree.. you would have to adapt to different technologies with different climates, even a combination of several if possible. If people want to do it.. they will do their homework and get it done.

  • Hope I'm not going to get flack for this comment but collecting energy from natural sources, in principle, is fine but as a practical matter it's not that simple or easy. For example, where I live there is very little-and by that I mean negligable wind energy to collect-same for many other areas. Very many people don't have the monetary or technical resources to build even something simple such as this. And, as an increasing majority of the world's population lives in urban areas, niether do

  • I think HelpSaveThe Earth2051's comment on the inefficiency of the blades WAS constructive as it points out an obvious place for improvement. I'd call that constructive! I would also point out, myself, that any windmill will collect more energy if elevated significantly. This one's quite close to the ground-but then it's a pretty small rig. Otherwise, not a bad effort!

  • This is a Test run of some guys homemade wind turbine.. not mine.

    thus..

    A "constructive" comment would offer an alternative for the viewers who do not know about blade efficiency. For example, "If you played with the blade design you could get better results", or, "an even more effective design are the vertical blade wind turbines that spin on their z axis" ..

    Of course we want people to be aware of places for improvement.. but,

    simply pointing out flaws is not "constructive".

  • Be smart - don't pay any more electricity bills. more info: solar.xfollow.me (Copy to your browser's address bar)

  • The blades are very inefficent!

  • and that's not a very constructive critique..

    how about..

    an even more effective design are the vertical blade wind turbines that spin on their z axis.. 

    ?

  • Yes those are good and they probaly take up less space. :)

  • I've got two windmills on the roof, doing quite good. I have detailed manual how to build homemade windmill... if someone need..

  • Yes,...I'd love to have it.

  • Indeed =]

  • can u send me to me??

  • That's truly amazing! I slashed my electric bill in half! look here: solar.xfollow.me (Copy to your browser's address bar)

  • success i believe? :)

  • OH GEE! That was a typo. I did mean "bigger" (NOT bugger!!!)

  • I went bugger and all my neighbors complained.

  • In Australia farmers still use "windmills" to raise water for cattle. Typically they have around 12 curved galvanized sheet metal blades. The RPM is quite slow - around 200RPM max? I bought a 200W wind turbine on ebay for $250 not so long ago. It is pretty small unit but I don't want to push my luck as the neighbors will probably complain if I go bugger

  • you can take the magnets and use them to push and pull the propellers if the wind isnt strong enough if the propellars are metal

  • American farmers used to use wind turbines as a water pump

  • the wind is moving much faster than the blades are moving. i don't know. maybe a new location?

  • Is that a Break disk hub in the center? we are looking to build them too.

  • didn't look at this one yet, but yes brake rotors from the front of generally early seventies through present, rear drive two wheel drive cars and trucks. wonder how they keep wires from twisting. Use some slip ring device?

  • where do you live anyway it seen to have alot of wind

  • how many watt would that fan generate???

  • Thanks for posting.

  • can I turn a bold at least with it?

  • How do you control the blabe speed, in case of high and doesn't tear its self apart??

  • Usually this type of turbine has a furling system that enables the blades to turn out of the wind when it is very strong.

  • the flimsy-ness is brilliant because that way it will bend and bend but never snap, the same way a building sways in an earthquake

  • looks a bit flimsy.

  • also the info on his stove all that would help, and I would be very greatfull please send me a message and we will exchange information thank you

  • Keefer2111 can your neighbour, share how he made his wind turbine to ger off the grid? I live in Argentina TONS of wind here all year round all day long. I would love to set up a wind turbine and get off the grid. Every month the electric bills go up for no aparent reason just because.

  • I like it, but how much noise in decibels does it produce? I can't really tell from the video. This is a legit community concern since noise pollution, audible & subsonic, have known health concerns for some persons from young to the elderly. My brother-in-law is an acoustic engineer (E-Coustic Solutions in Michigan) retained as a noise consultant testifying to change local zoning laws in several states (MI, IL, WS) after communities began complaining about health issues.

  • mine can do that on a 3 mph wind

  • feel free to tell me about yours. I have alternaters, brake rotors, batteries, ways and means to build towers...

  • i live in a small community in ny i am in search of an alternate energy source please help

  • All I know (I think)the one wind generator is from an old gas powerd arc welder and part of a radio tower the blades are from a farms wind mill, one set he made using stainles steal the blades are about 10 feet x 3feet.

    He had an idea using an Automotive generator and 3 power inverters. He's a nerd.

  • He's not a nerd, he's saving the planet, and spending less on energy than you are.

  • He even jokes about being a nerd..this guy is smart, to damn smart to have the job he has.

    He is always doing somthing with power and he has done some things the power company had to stop in to see.

  • My neighbor built his own and the people around him bitchet like a bunch of little girls...So he put up another and will be puting a few on my farm. heck! he has no electric bill and has a thurmal wood stove in his back yard and has no bills at all.

    And its been -10*f

  • Would your neighbor show how he built it?

    Thanks,

  • If you like, we can JV on a Windmill generation unit that will generate power without any wind.

  • do all of you guys believe we can make this ourselves with cost below $100?

    well...i believed it...coz i had try it... :D

    thanks to the author of homeecosolution that help me to build this on my own...

    you also can do it...try to check out this page!!

    tinyurl[dot]com/6atm2a

    and its really worth it!

  • you made this?

  • at least you know that instantly, rather than nuclear fallout poisoning you to the sate of cancer or nano sizes particles coming out of coal power station killing you in the same way + a dose of dioxin. Id personally rather take the risk of a large net cage and blades !

  • lol good generators use ball-bering mators!!!!!

  • It looks like the blades need to be higher. Too much turbulence in the area.

  • you have a nice windturbine, i have 1 too but i don't have a good generator

  • i made a 100 more to go

  • Ye that one in the tree there looks like it could cut somethin off without any problems

  • thats really good. have you ever tried terbines that move around the virtical? like those spinning signs. I've always been curious about their ability to work nearer ground level, because they might be less affected by turbulant air near ground?

  • Vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs) are simpler to make, because they don't need to pivot, and will start when any gust of wind blows... but the outer edge of a VAWT can turn no faster than the wind blows, so they tend to be less efficient. Still worth using, if space is limited, though. You can construct a crude one by cutting an oil drum in half, and offsetting the two pieces...

  • Excellent. Thank you for posting the video and information.

  • nice design but your estimates are a little off. output/the blade size ratio is decreasing exponentially not increasing.

  • a larger generator needs more wire so more resistance. greater weight increases friction. and the larger aria slows the turns and increases the time it isn't working at peek.

  • only things wrong here are... its too close to other objects like a tree and a shed, too low to the ground .. the pole holding it up looks like it will break. blade design looks good. but looks too heavy.. should make them out of ceder.... well thats all from england...

  • I think that too.. and I think it makes too much noise.. but it's cool to have alternative energy and the wind will never end up.. and I'm thinking that, if we have solar energy, you can't use it at night, but what about moon light energy (I must be crazy)

  • it seems to me, that the corner of blades is wrong.

  • propellers will fly away, lol all laugh if that happends.

  • VAWT are usually more efficent then HAWT...
