  • I like your design bruddah ... Could you tell me about the alternator/generator that you used ... Looks like an automotive one ... what is it ???

    Thanks ...

  • @superdivemaster I used a 12 volt dc motor that I got out of a free treadmill. I have come to really like them for wind turbines. There are 2 reasons that I like them so much. First, they are free and the other reason is they are real easy to deal with. Thank you for the question, Lonny

  • I I have an 12v alternator and wonder if it could be used for this application. I sincerely prefer the VAWT model.

  • @1899lpv I do not think this would work well with a alternator. You need a lot of speed for a alternator to give you power. This turbine is better for torque because of its size. Thank you for the question, Lonny

  • Ok awsum vid but how is the axle connected to the turbine

  • @gooberboy98 In this one I used a treadmill axil, I just cut a hole in the center of a round piece of wood and just put them together. Then I used a few screws to hold it down. Thanks for the question, Lonny

see all

  • @supergokue1 I was just wondering, would you be interested in selling me one? I attempted to make one...but I failed horribly lol. I could pay you in advance if you like, I would just really like to have one. Thanks either way!

  • That is one SWEET design. Thank you so much for sharing.

  • Really nice video and design!

    Im trying to build one too! I already built one but it does not rotate so good although there is strong winds blowing so i got a few question to clear out my build research.

    1st. does the weight of the whole turbine effect the rotation of the motor?

    2nd. If i increase more blades inside the turbine it will make it move faster?

    Thank you.

  • Good work! Thumbs up.

  • Nice. The device looks like a combination of a wind turbine and anemometer. Wind turbines are very beneficial to use. It simply produce free electricity. There's no risk at all.
