How to Make an Inexpensive Vertical Wind Turbine - Part 1

very use full ty for postin this vid

use the front hubs from a dodge caravan they bolt on and than you could use the lug nuts to mount to your barrels or anything else good luck on your projects

1:46 is where I would have failed.

Hi, Great idea..what about the noise vibrating through the house from the bearings..when it finds it's frequency the whole house will hum ??

For some reason, its not very loud. If it is loud enough for me to hear it from my bedroom, that means it is time to oil it.

cool it would be good to see it producing power i think 2 old car hubs would be stronger for the drums.what kind of power does it produce on a good day?

Embeddedprogrammer,

I was using slight sarcasm in that you harnessed wind power. Great job (no sarcasm).

But if you put a load on that and actually start generating "real" power, how much have you saved?

It might not be so wise to attach it directly to the house. If unbalanced in strong winds vibrations can affect the whole house. I know of a guy who made a similar savonius like yours, but of oil barrels. He mounted it on the roof and one stormy autuum night the whole contraption ripped off a piece of the roof and came down into the attic!

So be aware :)

I am moving to different bearing types. Check out my magnetic levitation video to see where we are headed.

Do you mean electrical or weight
