Prototype Micro Power Wind Generator

Presenting a new concept in home power electricity generation. The blades are a nice bit of half pipe in a simple Darius layout. The interesting bit is the power generation. If you look closely, the gap between the coil and the rotor magnet is 80mm. The system is in development. We are hoping to scale it up to charge batteries. Just a quick preview :)

Cool,

but why is your magnet so far away from the pickup coil ? 8 cm away ?

Does that help somehow to not create drag ?

Many thanks.

Hi Stefan,

That is a very good question. The first one had two coils but when we started assembly we realised how much torque it required to turn, so we moved the coils out (8cm) and there you have it... It seems to be a sweet spot for these particularly strong magnets ;)

Free energy Disco strobe light!!! Sweet!!

so at 88 mph it dissappears into the time continuum?

nice one

Ì see, so as you have another magnet inside the coil,

now it makes all sense...

So you are doing the same as the guy with the

free bike lights generator.

Makes much sense ! Great build !

Looks so sweet ! ;)

Regards, Stefan.
