Wind Turbine Destroyed by high winds

It's apparent by the timeline that you have probably built another more efficient wind turbine by now. I don't use a furling system either and use a switch to short the 3 phase in the case of high winds. Like you I need to manually do this to save my own turbine. I have heard though that there is an automatic type of brake that can be implemented though don't know who designs it.

WOW!!!! am sorry for you buddy....
Check out my video for your futur wind turbine ideas... u might wana try to use a vawt for less trouble.
Happy to c that this wont discourage you from going on with it...
Take care and be carefull!
PEACE...

Your wind turbine was awesome. I want one, with furling system I guess. I am subscribing to see how it is done.
-
And pictures of a new one? perhaps a weather stattion that monitors speed along with some type of furling activator? some gears that could be activated?
-
Dude, too bad for the loss. I'm sure the thing was nice before the storm
-
What RPM was the turbine going when it broke, any guesses?
-
You're lucky that you live somewhere that projects like yours are allowed and where wind is even viable. I particularly like the way you experiment with off-the-shelf stuff. That's what I like most about wind energy, it's that almost anyone can actually build something like you have. The homemade stator windings are particularly fascinating. Very few people can experiment with ocean or river currents. And few have the knowledge to make their own solar cells. Keep it up!

soory dude. but at least you have a opportunity to improve you'r design:)

I am working on a direct drive VAWT made with a car alternator. I replaced the rotor and stator to make 12 volts at 150 rpm. I am working on the draft to help the eff. I am looking to put this vawt on the market. I think I can get it to spin fast enough in low wind to produce at least .5 to .8 kw.. Total build invest is looking about $400 - $500. think of it like a toy top spinning at high speed. It will just make more power and keep it self balanced.
good luck with you stuff man.

A wind turbine that is not engineered to tolerate . . . the wind.
Sheer genius (pun intended).
The notion that Malthusian lowtech garbage is our "road to energy independence" is like saying George Bush represents the "road to peace."
Pathetic backward-looking JUNK like windfarms will soon be relegated to the ash heap of history.
What a total joke.

Your correct this is not the answer to energy independence, its a hobby. Do you really want a guy who can't build a furling system to be experimenting with fusion?
In all fairness I don't know why you would consider this a Malthusian solution? Wouldn't the Malthusian solution be to let people run out of energy. . .
I like wind compared to current technologies because, as I understand it wind is a transient energy, resultant from solar energy(fusion).
Thanks for the post that needed to be said

Hi mate!
I have a question. Isn't it better to use a gearbox to slow down the circular speed once operation on hith wind. It will make keep that power is increasing with wind power.
because if you meke it parrarel to the wind you have no power generated once the highest power is arround to capture.
Sorry for the orthoghaphy I am serb.

You taught me a new word orthography, Thanks!
Sorry I don't fully understand your question? I was raised in Nigeria so I understand the difficulty of learning the english language : )
On turbines this small the gearbox only makes the turbine less efficient. Electrical Generators are usually more efficient at high rotational speeds ~1000 rotations per minute. I hope that helps if not post again!
