Homemade Wind Turbine Generator VAWT Vertical

Homemade Vertical Wind Turbine mounted behind my wall and isn't visible from the street. Perfect turbine for HOA areas and in cities that won't allow mast mounted turbines. This is a wing lift prototype I'm getting some numbers from to create an improved designed. I believe these are the future of wind energy. I also have so other alternative energy concepts on the drawing board I'll post in the future. This intellectual property belongs to myself. However, please feel free to use this design for non-commercial purposes (your own home turbine). © 2009-2010 imikewillrockyou

Just wondering, are VAWT wind generators more efficient and less expensive than horizontal turbines?

[imikewillrockyou]

@platinum243125 Generally HAWTs are slightly more efficient than VWATs if you measure by surface area covered. But that is moot. The numbers you want to see is the cost of production vs. energy return. I believe that large VWATs can be built on a commercial scale using common construction materials, unlike large HAWT turbines which are very expensive. In other words an large VWAT design could built, on site, by construction workers using common materials for fraction of the cost per watt..

Very impressed with you design, but I'm unable to locate your drawings, details etc for this

@irishguyrick I provide dimensions in the comments below the instruction videos on my channel.

It seems the purpose of the "stators" on the exterior of the housing are to help direct wind to the left side of the turbine, and simultaneously help block wind on the right side, is that correct? If so, and I think you elude to this in your build video series, wouldn't it be beneficial to double the number of stators, blocking more wind on the right side?

[imikewillrockyou]

@joeinbend I doubt doubling the stators would be of much benefit and might actually increase turbulence. I would stick with the eight.

I would love to make one of those, any chance you could send me more info on how to make it? area71 at gmail

That's amazing. I really enjoyed this video. Do you sell your ideas and layouts? This looks very expensive with a high budget. Let me know if you sell layouts, thanks!

Nice unit. just put a anti kid screen or some dumb ass will sue. maybe a electric fencer would work!

[losttreasurehunt]

And AMPS?

Great looking model ,How much power does it produce?

Nice Video Perfect turbine for HOA areas and in cities that won't allow mast mounted turbines That You Share , So Very Nice Thanks You

I Really Like The Video From Your Homemade Vertical Wind Turbine mounted behind my wall and isn't visible from the street.
