Normally, I have plenty of wind this time of year but not this year. Not hardly even a breeze. But I'm not satisfied with the turbines performance in low wind. Working on a new wing design.

  • Very interested in this. Please don't stop producing videos.

  • @LtSurge659 I've got more in the works but haven't had the time because I have a lot on my plate right now. But they'll be there.

  • In residential area a Savonius is much better less noise since the speed of rotation is under the speed of the wind it also works great in turbulent winds.

    See my spreadsheet calculator on my channel also is free to download you can get an idea of what you can get in therms of output power.

  • @electrodacus I added your channel. Thanks

see all

  • How much power did the small one generate on average 10 mph wind ?

  • Thank you very much for sharing your ideas. I enjoyed every videos you product about the wind turbine generator. Please do not stop sharing your idea. Have a happy new year.

  • hi imikewillrockyou these vids have to be some of the best iv seen on wind turbines mate keep them comming bud very educational

  • @imikewillrockyou

    That's alright, I'm confident that we can wait! It's inspiring enough that you still answer to comments.

  • @imikewillrockyou If there is not much wind in your area then maybe solar is a better option, PV for electricity and evacuated tubes for hot water since most energy go to heating things and and evacuated tubes are more efficient than PV and will cost lees considering the same amount of energy.

    If the wind speed is half you get 8x less power so wind speed is quite important not just the consistency of the wind.

  • can you send me a design for making a low wind turbine

    thanks
