Homemade Wind Turbine with a Night Light LED MOD

In the video I say this motor is 300 RPM. This motor is 5HP 240VAC 3phase 3000 RPM servo motor.

The LEDs I burned out happened while the wind turbine was turning very slowly,and because I ran the lights 24/7. Guess I will unhook the lights first next time then unhook the battery. The good news is the battery alone ran the Ham radios for about 24 hours all by its-self after the gas generator died on field day.

The battery is rated 450 amp hour not to be confused with cranking amps, and I have no idea how many cranking amps it is rated.

These led lights will run from 3 to 3.8V each so I put 4 in series to give me 12 to 15.2V. At 15.6V these LED's will be brighter for a week or two and then start getting dim till they burn out. At 16V they are just a quick flash of light.

I also forgot to say I have a diode between the capacitor and the battery so that the battery can not drain back into the capacitor.

The wind always stops for about a week when you put up a new wind mill. Sorry that's just the way it works.
