VAWT Vertical Axis Wind Turbine 10 watt envirosponsible

http://envirosponsible.com/Wind_Generators.html 10W VAWT in action. This is just a teaser. We're going to hook up a wind/solar system, so stay tuned.

We've since gotten all of these components hooked up to make a portable power station. It's all contained in a barrel that has a removable lid, so accessing the 12 volt battery and trouble lamp is easy. If the power grid went down, this would give me some light at night.

Ifs this something you built yourself?

[envirosponsible]

No, I bought it from a company in New Jersey for $200 USD.

[lenlava]

would it work on a car?.

[envirosponsible]

That's a vague question. What do you mean specifically?

[Mrinfoone]

can you tell the angle off the blades?

[Mrinfoone]

what is the diameter size?

Why would you want to use something this stupid on a car? Modify the drive axle to turn it into a generator if you want to capture some of the extra energy every car produces but never uses. The balance issues would be more critical of course, but it is achievable.

[cw8jwh]

It isn't difficult to build your own wind generator. Any auto mechanic or licensed A&P mechanic to do it for you or show you how. Plenty of places online to get the parts needed.

@alpinemanlover

No he means put it on your hood as an ornament.

That way if you drive fast enough, you can generate enough power to keep your car going at that speed on the wind generator output alone.

@envirosponsible

$200 for a 10W wind turbine........

That is a great investment.

$200 gets me 80W of polycrystaline solar panels.

@envirosponsible Hey, im sure that you have been asked a million times on this but where can I get one? I checked out your site but havnt seen anything on there.
