wind turbine wooden blades/ installed much better with the right airfoil

A Quick video to show the wooden blades installed on my ametek, I have already achieved 105 watts with these blades Pvc ones only 82 watts, I am also setting up a forum on my website to help other people showcase their efforts, my website is: www.windchasers.eu

hi dean, send me a pic or better still put here on you tube and do a video, see u buddy

[humbertini900]

they are in the shed has a reserve should these ever break or something, see u dean

[humbertini900]

with a bike speedometer, its pretty easy to set up and cheap to buy, magnet on the blades get the sensor onto the body of your turbine make sure they are not touching allow 3 to 4 mm clearance, check it anyway to see it working before putting on top of the tower, then it will tell you maximum rpm, how long it's been spinning, number of calories burnt (lol), etc..

what is the velocity of the wind?

Very nice vid mate.  Amazing little motors those amateks. What are you powering with your set up?

well then whats going on here then ric these look 7-8 tsr and 700mm well done now tour cooking boy now get a few stators onder your belt im up to 54 wires out my stators and 3 motors in 3 phase all in the one well done again rated a 5 as it wont go up to 10 keep in touch big fellar andy

thanks i will send you a photo soon, im not exactly done yet a but more resistors and capictors to go yet. cheers

[DeanC993]

thanks humbertini my wind turbine is doing good to! thanks

[DeanC993]

cool video! what did you do with the pvc pipe blades? nice anemometer

From what you stated, you're getting up to a 28% gain in power generation with your new blades. Good job. In your video, you stated 4 ~ 7 Amps at 500 RPM. I haven't yet measured the RPM on my turbine, but do measure the wind speed with an anemometer. How did you measure the RPM? Thanks.
