TESTING JUST BEFORE A STORM. THE WIND WAS GOOD BEFORE SETTING UP THE CAMERA BUT AT LEAST I GOT SOME WIND DURING THE VIDEO WAS OVER. I BLEW THE BULB THE DAY AFTER JUST BEFORE I WAS GOING TO UPDATE THIS VID. I WILL HAVE ANOTHER UPDATE WITH THE BATTERIES IN LINE , IN A FEW DAYS. I WANT IT UP ON A POLE FIRST SO I DONT HAVE TO HOLD IT UP. OH YA , THE FINGER PICKIN WAS MY COMPOSING AND PERFORMANCE. YOURS TRULY MUDDMANN AND HIS MUDDYFINGERS.

  • @muddymuddymuddmann

    That's my luck man,here lately been having some real good winds on my wind generators.I wanna build some solar cells ,Ive got the wind generators but u can't depend on them all the time ,if the sun not shinning then the wind is blowing so I need some solar cells to build that will be my next hobby to do or at least on the want list.

    Thanks for the return reply and keep up the great work man.

  • @losttreasurehunt I FOUND A LINK FOR SOLAR PANELS CLOSEOUTS FOR 78 CENTS PER WATT. THAT'S CHEAPER THAN SOLAR CELLS. I WILL LOOK FOR THE LINK AND FORWARD IT TO YOU. ONE OF MY FRIENDS BOUGHT 4000 DOLLARS WORTH OF THEM. WOWWEEE! WITH SUN AND SOLAR, THE GAPS ARE VERY SMALL IN BETWEEN.

  • i'm 3/4 of the way done with the fan portion. going to mount a pulley on the side of the fan housing and try to use this in a waterwheel application.i already have the wheel turning and can get consistent 120 rpm's in the pulley ratio. when i get this going it sounds like i may need a more advanced regulator. i truly appreciate you taking the time to help with our education!

  • @victormcox GLAD TO HERE THE WORK GOING WELL. I DONT THINK YOU WILL NEED A REGULATOR. THE BATTERY WILL ACT AS A REGULATOR.

    AS LONG AS YOU HAVE PLACED THE MAGNETS INSIDE AND CONNECTED THE RECTIFIERS JUST LIKE IN THE VIDEOS, YOU ARE SET. JUST DONT CONNECT THE BATTERY UP BACKWARDS OR THE RECTIFIERS HAVE A CHANCE OF BLOWING. THE RECTIFIERS SHOULD HAVE THE PLUS AND NEGATIVE TERMINALS MARKED. KEEP US UPDATED ON THIS WATER WHEEL APPLICATION. SOUNDS GREAT.

  • we made a BIIG windmill using the principals from this Vid, with coil packs a nd huge magnets, cut the energy bill by 80%

  • Hey Mud , Great video thanks ! I didn't understand some of the tech stuff , maybe you could do one w/more laymen terms & explanations for dumb asses like me !---- 5 stars

  • hi muddy im getting some fast winds and i am charging at 7.5 dc volts im getting 00.1amp. at 11.5 dc volts im getting 00.5 amps and at 13.5 and up dc volts im going down to 00.3 amps . does this sound right i did reach 16 dc volts a few times,just wondering if this is normal.thanks

  • @101011b PRETTY COOL THINKING, AND RIGHT ON ALMOST. THE RPMs ARE DIRECTLY PROPORTIONAL TO THE VOLTAGE OUTPUT. THE HIGHER THE VOLTAGE ABOVE THE BATTERY BANK, THE MORE CURRENT IS DRAINED , AND THE MORE THE UNIT SLOWS DOWN. IF IT STALLS OUT, GO TO A HIGHER VOLTAGE BATTERY BANK. IT WILL SPIN FASTER. VOLTS X AMPS = POWER, MEANS THAT IT WILL STILL BE PRODUCING THE SAME POWER FROM THE WIND, AND WILL PROBABLY SPIN UP TO GIVE EVEN MORE POWER WITHOUT STALLING. COOL HUH?

  • Mind you, I've never messed around with anything like this before...but with a load it slows down as you said. So, if it's charging batteries does that affect the rate of rotation as well?

  • @zackthegoth SOUNDS COOL, JUST POST IT AS A VIDEO RESPONCE. I WILL APPROVE IT. I DID THE SAME THING, BUT I HAD TO EPOXY THE BLADES ON. IT LIT UP LEDS NICELY. THEN MY FRIEND AND I TOOK A SPIN IN HIS SKITTLES TRUCK WHILE I HELD IT OUT THE WINDOW. I TOLD HIM NOT TO GO FAST. BUT HE IS A SMART ALLECK AND I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN HE WANTED THRILL MORE THAN SAFETY. I COULDNT PULL IT IN THE WINDOW WHILE SPINNING. 35 MPH TOOK IT OUT WITH A BANG AS THE BLADES EXPLODED AND HIT HIS FANCY PAINT JOB. LOL.
