I will be trying this idea

but can u give a subtitle to u r video it will be more easy to understand and
the way u made gears is very easy
thnk s for teaching
but can u provide any details how we can connect the generator and how can we measure the energy that is generated all that and how we store it in detail

I asked this because I am not a science student and dont have much Knowledge about turbine and generators

Great job! What I like about you design is it allows for setting up multiple generators on one set of blades. What is your gear ratio? Do you have alot of resistance with this set up? Do you think you could double the power even with extra resistance by hooking up an identical generator on the opposite side? Keep up the great work.

If you made the cogwheel on the turbine larger in diameter, wouldn't you make the smaller one on the generator turn faster and get more power out of it?

Yes, or the generator gear smaller (making one today)

Checkout the rear hub of a Pontiac Fiero as a better bearing race.. tapered on both sides with 4 mounting holes on each corner and you can alway machine down the back of the Hub to what you need.. and it's sealed..

I tried some oldsmobile hubs a friend gave me and they had too much turning resistance.

OK well you tried ! - Is there a wall between each barrel that I cant see? Wouldn't one increase your catching of air.. im talking the area where they overlap.. Did you cap that off?

No, I didn't cap it off because this design actually works better if the air can exchange between the two chambers. That is part of the original Savonius design.
