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

nice idea. i may try something like this. are you using this to charge a battery bank or are you tying into the grid? you showed a lot of it just turning in the wind. i would like to see more of your setup.
Great engineering and workmanship! Do you have any loaded tests? I can see the open circuit voltage gets to 14v in some substantial wind, but what happens if you actually connect a battery to it and load the alt? I can't find any hard data on your site or vid's, indicative of more VAWT smoke and mirrors? I'm also curious about the charge controller that will charge a 12v battery bank when the input voltage is less than 13v (charging voltage for 12v).....
if i was you i would put the thing on the top of my house for most energy, add somthing that collects the power than when the power goes out i can you use it as a back up genarator
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.
