  • need to get that above the trees then it will humm ha ha nice vid would like to do this

  • Maybe a big balloon with a wire to hoist it up really high. Naw i guess that would be a lot of trouble in the high winds.LOL I looking at a three hinged tower concept for running and testing. before you make one for yourself, wait for the next few videos to come out., more analysis and solution testing to be done for a lot more efficiency.

    MUDDy subscribe so you dont miss it !!

  • It looks like your more than 6ft n the air I hope your tied off or OSHA will be on your ass....;) nice vid as always...

  • Hey buddy , watsup?!!! You are one of my oldest subscribers. The tip of the roof is only 6.5 feet from the hub of the turbine. The Occupational Stupid Harrass All administration doesnt come hear anyway...

  • Scotty:

    Very nice prop! I really like the way it accelerates once it gets going, that is incredible. Great work here man.

  • Thanks for the compliments. The funnest thing is when you get to watch something you made just take off and haul like that for the first time. it is addictive. that is what keeps me carving. then i have to make another alternator. I am realy JONESing for the materials for an axial flux alternator so I can realy push some watts. I would do the best videos of that in progressions. STEP BY STEP ALL THE WAY.

  • Hey my friends, good to hear from you.

    4.5 tip speed ratio is the 3 degrees at the tip.

    this one twisted at the last 5 or 6 inches on one end. not too hard to fix though. i am cutting off 4 inches on each end and i will grind in the angle again and then seal it a little better this time. I've been watching the new vids you make. keep up the good work. I split the coils on this one and have a lot better results.

  • Hello Scotty B

    happy to see new video nice blade and its color.

    i think your blade TSR is very low.how many RPm you got At that TSR?

  • When i shorted the wires out in a 20 mph wind and it stalled the blades , plus they would turn about 25 rpm at that. i guess thats good enough with the furling mechanism. I shortened them 4 inches on each end. That makes it 6 foot 8 inches now.

    it seems to be operating better.

  • Be careful . a good tip. to make both wires long, use a tooth pick or some fishing string.

    here's what you do. get the toothpick or fishing string under the wire and move it back towards the outside winding as far as it will go. then cut your wire. this makes the wire leading to the inside as long as possible. the outside wire is easy to lengthen by removing 1 wrap.
