blog -- http://www.berezin.com/jeff (more info)
DIY vertical wind turbine of the Savonius style.

Notable is that the largest part of this turbine is recycled materials (the PVC drums previously held Balsamic Vinegar from Italy and the generator is a recycled automotive alternator with magnets added).

Axle: 3 inch PVC piping from Home Depot
Bearings: 5 inch lazy suzan from Lowes.

Part 3 will cover connection to the battery bank with charge controller

...14 people don't have a CNC machine in their basement...

The sleeping dog is an essential part of the apparatus right?

@gooseknack Thank you. I will continue watching this video knowing there is still a possibility for the project.

[OriginalMamaBear]

Yeah and for the rest of the world who does not own a CNC machine. This was a useless video.

[iam4god2day]

you need alot more rpms for this ,, make a propeller type and direct drive and you will get more out of it

[nhralph]

Very interesting but I do think belt driven would be better and cheaper.

[ava7awa]

ok, seing the 2nd part now.

[forphuksake]

why dont you just belt drive the thing?

[gogo5278]

I don't see how this is inexpensive. Your automated cutting machine alone makes this an expensive project

[rkward101]

Nice work!  Btw, it's Oatey not Oakly ...

[vindberlin5]

Sounds like wheel of fortune :-)
