Gene Basler's VAWT Bicycle Wind Turbine Prototype Design Part 1

http://www.wideworldoftrees.com Please also see www.windynation.com from whose ebay store I bought the arbor, jaluther (youtube channel), another guy who thought to put a bike on its side--two years before me. Also hydropowertube (youtube channel) from whom I got the idea to use 5-gallon buckets cut lengthwise. As a recap, I'm looking for a generator, and a way to affix a skateboard wheel to the generator hub, a better mount than these wobbly sawhorses, and of course better blades that might offer less resistance on the backside of the spin. leave a comment or leave a voicemail at my voicemail hotline 262-724-6701 (ANARCHOS01). I am generously accepting donations of a suitable generator like an Ametek. I assume it needs to be low-RPM. The back tire is only spinning about 100 RPM in what I would consider moderate winds. A better set of blades could probably improve that, but then there'll be the added resistance of the alternator/skateboard wheel once we get there.

can i get the detail specification of the above model

and mathematical calculation .....

@rhtgmi123 Thanks for the comment. I don't know what details and calculations you want. What exactly are you asking for?

[ramyth1946]

please see the contraptions shown in the followng video.

can u integrate them into yours?

[secundiflora]

@ramyth1946 I don't think I received the video. Can you send a link again? Thanks.

@ koulailat: Thanks for the comment: I'm looking at a low-rpm windmill generator...

I have a sugjuestion . You are lossing a lot of air out the open tops of the buckets. cut 2 more buckets in half and turn them upside down and hot glue or liquid nail them to gather. I believe this will more than double your power in as much as you are doubling the size of the blades AND lossing no air out the top or bottom.

JUST A SUGESTION.

Je ne sais pas ce qu'elle produit, mais elle est très originale cette éolienne ! Bravo

@rhtgmi123 mechanic reduktor have big noses. I have some videos to explain how to make good generator. See fin with automatic  control power.

what if you put the buckets closer together? not sure if thatl work....

Hi Gene, there is a solution to the problem. The wind blows along the side of your house, so use the side of the house as a funnel to direct the wind into your turbine. Simply place a sheet of plywood against the house and direct the wind onto the right side of your turbine. this will cover the left side of it and prevent the back of the blades from slowing the unit down.

friend u can use a big sheet to divert the wind infront of the place where the wing is creating resistance and there would be more power of wind

in a tilted position
