home made wind turbine

[bermudarailway]

Sounds like Billy Connolly

[TheWindMillMan]

@bermudarailway sharp observation, well done son, ever thought about joining Scotland Yard lol, I will take this as a compliment if this is the best you can come up with tonight

TTFN

[bermudarailway]

How successful has this been and have you got any power out of it yet?

[TheWindMillMan]

@bermudarailw ----

Boy you need to check out the up to date material see my other videos I also sell a book on the complete build on ebay type in

wind turbine build plans

and find me thewindmillman

this is a proper build manual of were I got to with this and have now mover on to water wheel 27/7 power generation I will be writing the full build book for this, this summer 2012 when I proof build another water wheel hydro power unit from my notes

[DanFrederiksen]

@TheWindMillMan I didn't doubt the strength. I asked you what car is it from

[TheWindMillMan]

@DanFrederiksen @DanFrederiksen

sorry,

I can't tell you I got this from a pile of scrap 4 years ago and I cant remember even what scrapyard I got it from as I have been to a few over the past 40 years, as in i cant remember what car or yard

use anything and go for trial and error or there are a few books on ebay to reduce price to you and time wasted on a learning curve eg wind turbine build plans

cheers TWMM

[DanFrederiksen]

@TheWindMillMan ok, thanks.

[DanFrederiksen2]

is that a car wheel hub? it looks small. which car model?

[taur561]

The hub idea is great but how are you going to connect the alternator to it ?

[TheWindMillMan]

@taur561 I have written 3 books on this type of mill and others and these build books show all sizes, materials and how to do's, with photografix and drawings on the full complete build, as trying to explain it all in txt here I would have no chance, check out ebay under wind turbine build plans and look for plans by, the wind mill man. @ under £5 you cant loose these booklets are showing you how to build a mill for £300 thats worth £9000 should you buy a shop built fancy thing so saves £'s

[sundogforlove]

Sorry, I cannot understand what you are saying. Could you please include subtitles with you videos. Thanks

[TheWindMillMan]

@sundogforlove sorry S, my english dialog is a bit thick dont think subtitles would help though would be hard to try and fit it all in

cheers

[N8Dogg1002]

IIIIII like it. Good and strong.

[TheWindMillMan]

@N8Dogg1002 cheers I love the engineering satisfaction of the build, and the working end product and all with hand tools ,if I could bolt it all together I could build it without the welding so would then be power tool free also

regards andy

[derman077]

I like your videos and think what you do is awesome, but I have no idea what you just said.

[TheWindMillMan]

@derman077 just a running cometary of what you see, I mumble on a bit, and my thick accent adds to it, the camera is also out of sink ,video and sound, so it is a bit of a challenge to understand, Iam very sorry but you can only work with the tools you have, and mine are getting on a bit like myself.

regards andy

[derman077]

@TheWindMillMan I could see what yoe were doing. I can't even think of what to say in my videos but try to make them self explanitory. Your thick accent adds well to your personality. Your back yard is amazing too. Thanks for making videos and teaching people.

[TheWindMillMan]

@derman077

Hi T, This was the bin area in this video, anyway thanks, I think?

Have a good day

Andy

[UberWagen]

Are those hubs out of a car?

[TheWindMillMan]

@UberWagen there are many hubs out there that can be used so home made or from a wheeled craft car, van, cart, motorbike and so on

cheers

andy

[MrWindnut]

Like your vids good work keep it up .

[TheWindMillMan]

@MrWindnut nay bother love your work to good to see a wire tidy and metered properly kit

andy

[SuperAaron969]

nice vid mate f**k them yank nob's

o yes one thing what's the best way to

do my Stator to get the best power from a PMA i am making?

cool work thank's for any help

[TheWindMillMan]

@SuperAaron969 Sure A, but all the other parameters will need to be ironed out and there are quite a few before you can build a mill efficiently have a look at ebay under wind turbine build plans and look for thewindmillman booklets check out the content page and there are 6 stators for 12V system to suit blade size and torque

cheers and the booklet has all build data and every size to cut at

[rlewis1946]

Andy, when I see the progress you've made and shared here over these couple of years, it very impressive! Keep up the good work and don't let the nay sayers get you down... Roy

[TheWindMillMan]

@rlewis1946 nay bother R, and cheers for the kind words

andy

[rlewis1946]

@rlewis1946 One more thing, Andy; more think 118 thousand viewers have watched all or part of this video - and some like me, more than once - since it offers good, useful information. Yyou should be damn proud of what you have done. My Father always said to me, "... in life try to make a difference in someone else's life..." Andy that is what you are doing, with everyone of your videos.... Roy Lewis, Atlanta, Georgia USA

[TheWindMillMan]

@rlewis1946 now thats a fine worded paragraph would all on the tube please read this - try to help another - good words Roy hope you are well and smiling today and tomorrow

[mannhorn34]

That is English?

[TheWindMillMan]

@mannhorn34 - top marks "that is the correct answer", though you dont need a ? after a comment, only after a question,.

Are you working on any RE projects that I may help you out with sir, form picking up a motor to building your own, and blades from 300mm diameter PVC blades 100w to 12FT 8" x 2" at 4 KW output

regards Andy

Have a good day.

[mannhorn34]

What is that guy speaking? Gibberish?

[TheWindMillMan]

@mannhorn34 I am afraid it does get a bit technical, sorry you cant keep up, it is quite informative, you must try harder, ( and loose the attitude yank).

I SPEAK ENGLISH SO YOU GUYS CAN LEARN FROM MY WORK, NOT TYPE SHIT LIKE THAT !!

[crezyfrog2]

Dear the wind mill man,

From which car do you get the wheel hub and the spindle?

Thanks in advance

[TheWindMillMan]

@crezyfrog2  it really is up to the individual on what he has to hand

and what you can work with tools wize

[crezyfrog2]

@TheWindMillMan yours turn very freely, the newone have to much resistance, it whould be very difficult for wind to turn the blade around. where (car) do you get yours from?

[TheWindMillMan]

@crezyfrog2 the hub needs to be stripped and rebuilt using less grease and a thinner copper based grease to to reduce the start up resistance but with 2m up of blades on it it should run fine on smaller blades with less torque it may be better to go the rebuild route i always do the rebuild as i use old hubs for scraped cars so the grease is usually finished by then and so needs replaced anyway

kind regards andy

[brother776]

is that a sierra rear hub carrier?

[TheWindMillMan]

@brother776 any hub should be usable balls are better than roller bearings though

andy

[leychin2]

andy

[MadHatterTruth]

you are selling info you get for free you jerk

[TheWindMillMan]

@MadHatterTruth sorry haty i am selling a project from start to finish with all the info the builder needs to complete with no guessing of sizes or how to do anything the complete build you jerk i thing you signed ???? is this jerk a good thing in your world??? as it means an object to change direction quickly in my engineering terms

[sidebarr7]

If your going to make vidios get a camera man that knows how to stand still. All your doing is makeing the person dizzy with moveing the camera at odd and fast movements.

[TheWindMillMan]

@sidebarr7 i didnt make vid for the camera skills as i don't profess to have any i made it to educate and entertain those who are interested sorry you got dizzy with the moving

cheers andy

[sidebarr7]

@TheWindMillMan Yea I realize that now ,,sorry didnt mean no harm.

[TheWindMillMan]

@sidebarr7 no offence taken and no harm done I know I am not much with a camera but hey that's not my hobby mills are

have a good day

andy

[gwengoad]

WHAT THE HELL DID HE SAY??

[TheWindMillMan]

@gwengoad it all in the book in

[chudmail]

Hello windmill man i recon you have been making turbines for a while, have you tried many motors and do you feel casting them is worth the extra effort ? I like the way you make your stuff to last how do you manage to get your turbines up with all that steel?

[TheWindMillMan]

machanical help from steel wire winches or a few friends on ropes and yes over engineered to hold up to mother nature and she can still damage them

cheers andy

[vicmeuk]

Thats was spinning for Britain there!!! lol :-)

[TheWindMillMan]

you should see it making 1.5KW vic on the new mill 500rpm get in there

reg

and

[VooDooBondye]

@vicmeuk - I think you'll find it was spinning for Scotland!

[eaitechies]

Hello,

It's great Video, I wann know how to order or get full videos that u have posted in youtube or Total videos to make WindMill, please send me full details to my email address.

Waiting for your Positive Reply or Response.

Thank U and All the best

[DIYWedding]

This man has got skills!! very interesting thanks for the upload .. I understood everything you said , love the accent my scottish freind

[TheWindMillMan]

you are very welcome cheers for you + words and I know mine are out of sinc LOL

regards andy.

[breezebro]

What did he say? I couldn't understand a word of it.

[TheWindMillMan]

what language do you speak?,I will translate it over for you ,and ping it on to you as a txt doc would that help you along bud

regards andy

[thegoosebrain]

I use a common bicycle pedal hub. Works just as good.

[TheWindMillMan]

I used a trek bottom bracket to to run a mill of 4 feet but this vid is for a bigger more robust mill that the blades power would crush light iron bike parts that the reason for the heavy iron

ping on a video of you mill sound like we 2 are on the same chain of thought

regards andy

[geocomputer786]

please send me link of full car hub wind turbine 2 plases i shall veri thank full too uu

[TheWindMillMan]

I have re4mover them as i was getting 300 + questions a week on the build and it was getting too much to answer them all so I now have plans made up and for £5.50 I will send on these and other videos to make this turbine and blades set

this is all there is now of video 2 for free now soz bud

[geocomputer786]
