Green-Trust.Org & Woodhenge.Org building wind turbines

Green-Trust.org and Woodhenge.org on Discovery's Science Channel "Invention Nation"

Aired on December 17th, at 10pm Eastern time. The Science Channel is found on both cable and satellite TV. Check out http://www.treehugger.com/files/2007/11/invention_nation.php. You will see show hosts Chris, Nobu, and Micah learning to build a 1000 watt wind turbine from scratch, which helps power our off-grid home. More information on our wind turbines can be found at
http://www.green-trust.org, http://www.woodhenge.org and http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/axialflux/.

Get the Wind Power Workshop, by Hugh Piggott, to learn how to build your own wind turbine as seen on our Science Channel episode.

Hello, I am unfamiliar with the wye connection that they are using. I have googled it with little success on an understandable explanation. Could someone explain it to me? It sounds like the just connected the wiring of every 3rd coil and then put that into series with each other? ex. bundle 1, then 2, then 3? Is that really all there is to it? I am making a wind turbine right now. Any help would be appreciated.

@marine4hire The three phases are connected, but not in series, just together at one end. the other ends of each phase are brought down to a 3 phase rectifier. More information on our website (in the description).

i haven't seen anything about this show since this season aired. they never repeated them and after seeing the 'conspiracy theory' episode on global warming i know why. cleaning the air is way too easy, and there's too much money to be made on endless research and carbon trading. this show showed too much D.I.Y. stuff that the establishment had it pulled off the air.

It's been rerun at least 20 times since on discovery and hgtv channels. Just recently again in the last 2 months.

Hello, Liked the video. On Earth Day I won a green design contest for my home energy system the RoofMill. Have a look at my home wind turbine videos of installing and running Hybrid Energy Systems. Friends and Subscribers Wanted. Later ,

Peace, Sam
