i wise you guys would do a complete video on how to make a gen and the parts used and show it working not these damn little bits

@bushbasher46 If you look I only have 12 videos. I show all the steps for making a wind turbine. I cut down my videos considerably and it still takes about 50 minutes or 4 to 5 videos to show step by step how to do it from begining to end.

I see alot of people using electric motors and pulleys to make a coil, but shit man, this has to be the best homemade device i have ever seen! The entire thing is frickn beautiful. I am really impressed with it. By any chance would you sell one of those?

@woodburyadpost Thanks for the props. I live in Costa Rica and the mail system here is primative at best and cost alot to mail things. Its not to hard to build just using stuff laying around. If you need any help online let me know.

what's the significance of 70 and 120 in making the coils and how does the diameter of the wire affect the winding?(thinner wire= less space for more windings? )

[Aceman307]

@eastsidesigns1Tthinner wire = more space for more turns . Also the smaller the wire the higher your volts will be but less amps. So the trick is to get the right combination of high enough volts to charge your batterys but not to high because more amps will charge the batterys faster.

This is so informative and well done. Thank you for sharing.... I think I might try and build a generator from scratch!

@DEWessonsax I really needed to make this coils with more turns like 120 verses 70 I could never get my volts over 6volts with the wind conditions I have here. All the videos for making coils that I have seen show using one wire. I am now more interested in making some serpentine coils I hear they are much more efficient.

I see here your using 1 strand of wire as opposed to 2 strands, what are the differences in volts and watts. Thanks for the upload.

thanks, does it have to be enamal coated wire?
