  • Good Work,, Thanks

  • @ahmedphi2 Thanks these things are a joy to play with, a good hobby and best of most of these I didn't have any money in them that's the fun part.Thanks for viewing and the comment

  • Thamk you. I enjoyed  the video.

  • @radiowwww Thanks man

  • The double now has a set of blades on it of 48 in all

  • Not all treadmill motors are not the same some are very stiff in turning and some are very easy ,most of the time the stiff ones produce alot of amps ,but it takes more energy to turn them.The easier ones do produce good voltage but poor amps, it is very difficult to find one thats just right.The only reason I use treadmill motors is that they were all free and could produce power without alot of doing to them ,other than gearing them up to work in light winds

  • @losttreasurehunt I LOVE!!! Them!! I am in FL (south East) so we have some Atlantic breeeze but not as much as I would have thought before researching the real wind speeds and frequency of the wind was the heart breaker for me.. But I think it is great what you are doing and then sharing the info to any and all is Fantastic of you to do! I am thinking about trying to put on together..have you tinkered with any of the store bought stuff? or all self built? Thanks for any info offered! Be well!

  • @JWnFL I have built 6 of these all for less than a 100.00,most material came from construction sites and the generators came from old treadmills that people didn't want anymore and can be found on craigslist for free.In 10 mph will produce 12 to 14 volts and 3 amps under a load depending on the motor.Here in Tennessee the winds are low winds and I've tried to design them for low winds to catch as much wind as possiable they all work very well for something that is free or almost free

  • @radarartisticot Thanks man have a great day
