Wind Generator: Sustainable Living student project

http://www.mum.edu/sustainable_living/ Sustainable Living students at Maharishi University build a wind generator from scratch. The design was largely based on the axial-flux design found on www.otherpower.com Some other helpful sites are www.windstuffnow.com and http://www.scoraigwind.com/.

Maharishi University of Management (MUM) offers undergraduate and graduate degree programs in the arts, sciences, business, and humanities. The University is accredited through the doctoral level by the Higher Learning Commission.

Founded in 1971 by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, the University features Consciousness-Based education to develop students' inner potential. All students and faculty practice the Transcendental Meditation technique, which extensive published research has found boosts learning ability, improves brain functioning, and reduces stress.

Maharishi University uses the block system in which each student takes one course at a time students report they learn more without the stress of taking 4-5 courses at once.

The University has a strong focus on sustainability and natural health, and serves organic vegetarian meals. The B.S. in Sustainable Living is MUM's most popular undergraduate major.

You had me up to the point when you started talking about meditation.... *sigh*

You might want to watch our video "A deeper green" by our Sustainable Living professor Lonnie Gamble. He says that the major problem isn't that we need more technology, but that we need to strengthen our inner connection with all of life, so that we naturally want to protect and nurture the environment. And that's why we need to transcend -- that's how nourish that deep connection.

Where can I find specific plans or blueprints on the generator itself? things like wire size, magnet size, placement and how to wire it all together? I sure would appreciate any help I can get. Thanks.

Check out the links we posted under the video description, up to the right of the video window.

The term "sustainable" is deceitful; nothing is "sustainable"; one of the basic laws of science is you never get as much work out of a machine as you put into it.....

[MaharishiUniversity]

"Sustainable" doesn't mean the same as a perpetual motion machine. Sustainable means that it uses natural resources without depleting them. Burning oil isn't sustainable because there's a limited supply. But putting up a wind turbine or a solar panel doesn't use up the wind or the sun -- you can use them all you want without diminishing their power.

dedicated researcher deserve an applause from us who benefits from their invention and discovery. Wind Generator one of the best alternative way for fuel and energy shortage

That quote is for perpetual motion enthusiasts, and is out of context here. These run on wind , the same as your car runs on gas, or deisel feul. the feul here is wind. The efficiency at best is 53% for the bets limit and 35% fior the machine. Your car only propells you with the remaining 5% after friction.

Our Sustainable Living students are working on about a dozen projects right now. Check out our website the link is up to the right of the video window.

If you really want to sustain the world, it's going to take more than technology. Check out our videos by Lonnie Gamble, one of our Sustainable Living profs. He talks about how important it is to renew our connection with natural law.

That's very fantastic. Do you have any other sustainable projects? I want to make a project which can sustain the world.
