Vertical Axis Wind Turbine

This wind turbine is based on the Lenz II design which measures 4 ft tall X 3 ft in diameter.

The parts can be purchased at http://www.WindGenKits.com

It has a 12 magnet, dual rotor alternater with 9 coils. Each coil is 70 turns.

The wing construction is a steel frame made of laser cut ribs with tubular spars and a trailing edge. The ribs fit into notches on the spars and was welded together. The skin is .030" aluminum that has been fastened with rivets.

The rotating assembly spins on a fixed shaft. Bearings and wing spokes are bolted to the center tri-star carrier plates. The wings can be quickly removed and swapped.

Currently this turbine feeds a small bank of 2 GC-110 wet cell batteries wired in series for a 12V system. AC output is provided by a 1500W inverter.

Paint the metal parts for corrosion protection. When used for charging a battery bank, the system voltage is constant, locked at the state of battery charge. Rotor speed is controlled by electrical load.

Can someone explain to me how the wire is collected to each other?

[marcelohimmler]

very good man!

I would like to order - the shop does not ......

Please send a message to ehu@ewaldhuber.de - thanks - Greetings from Germany

Very good design! How did you waterproof the design? Also, your turbine looks like it has the potential to spin very fast, what method do you use to stop over-voltage?

[Bsdeitch1]

Nice job. Well constructed. Have you been able to measure the output from that

And how much power is it putting out?? Volts and amps??

[tpajohnb1]

Are you using the super magnets or just regular hardware bought ones.????johnb in tpa
