Randel's Homemade Windmill for Free Electricity

Interested in environmentally friendly energy? http://blog.randelhenry.com

My wind turbine electrical generator is suitable for home experimental or emergency use. The output is suitable for charging a 12 volt battery bank. The generator power output is in the low hundreds of watts depending on wind speed. The maximum speed is self regulated by the design and requires no furling. This design works fine around buildings with a reasonable space around it. It will use wind from any direction. The whole unit is less than 5 feet tall so it is easy to maintain. I plan to attach this one to two poles and swing it up and connect it to the side of a storage shed for stability. The poles will raise it to just above the roof line. All the electrical parts are at the base and will be accessible from a small step ladder. The battery and inverter are inside the storage shed.

I am building the alternator with 3 phases wired in delta configuration. Each phase has 4 windings set at 90 degree intervals around the circle. Currently each of the windings is 62 turns of #20 magnent wire. The rotor plate has 16 N37 rare earth magnents.

i like this design and how u have ur rotor set up.. are u going to use coils with many windings? that way it will make power with low rpm... nice turbine! =]
