  • sir, I would be grateful if you could tell me the type of generator used- I mean whether its a synchronous m/c or an induction m/c and why? thanks in advance.

  • This is a surface Permanent magnet machine of the axial flux variety. They are affectionately referred to as "pancake" machines in some circles. Let me know if that is what you were looking for. Or check out my wind turbine destroyed video for a closer look. I would also like to refer you to Hugh Piggots work he is the best in the business. Thank you for the polite inquiry.

  • Nice use of Rhino ;)

    Is there any more information or built tutorial of that turbine somewhere?

    I would like to built a vertical turbine...would the same generator work?

  • Hugh Piggot has a set of build instructions for a turbine much like mine. He charges a fair price I would highly recommend looking into it.

  • I 100% agree I think I sound like a loose douche nozzle when I use my head sphincter to modulate the back-pressue on my lungs. I must say that you type well, considering your head has exploded. Sorry about that are you interested in narrating any of my future videos? I am serious about that.

  • do all wind turbines not have a limiter so they dont explode

  • That is hard to say, but if they don't they should!

  • Gadz ur room is manky.

  • Enjoyed your Renewable Energy Video, Please allow me to insert a link to your description. I would be happy to pay you $20 through PayPal for your efforts.

  • It produces energy on it's own, now that's great.

  • John R. Christy has been accused of recanting his position that climate change is neither Anthropogenic nor Catastrophic, but he didn’t. He used two independent data sets, weather balloon and satellite for his findings. (see links in my about me) Later he only stated that there was some anthropogenic impact that could not be predicted 100 years out, but that what we’re doing was good for the plants.

  • 1 /2 Obama stop offshore drilling until it was reinstated. This could cause a $5 a gallon increase, because we would grow dependent upon foreign nations we are not allies with in order to provide our oil. Cap and Trade (American Power Act) would increase gas prices increase by $2.58 a gallon according to George C. Marshall Institute& taxes on the average household up to $3200 according to the RNC Foreign countries price gouge w/ gas prices to $10/gal!.

  • Awesome video. :) You should add it at windturbines(dot)net.

  • nice explanation

  • anyone looking into green energy should vist The Zeitgeist Movement or the Venus project. Some problems to overcome before green energy is taken seriously
