CEILING FAN ALTERNATOR AC to DC Power Supply Converter

This is a DIY alternator that contains 2 sets of coils. Only one set is used in this video. These are standard wall power supplies that are used for househol…

    I built the first one of these back in about 2003,along with converting one
    to a pulsating dc motor.Since then we found a way to double the output by
    making a counter rotating blade unit.Found for charging 12v batteries, just
    get on ebay and buy a scooter voltage regulator,about $5.00.has a built in
    rectifier and is regulated to around 15.5 volts.

    Nice job, Dan. Am doing my own experimenting with a converted ceiling fan
    and a water wheel.

    what would you use as a power head?. 

  4. ALRAQIB JALJIS says:

    Can you power a light bulb ???

  5. Carabooda Lawn says:

    can you use the power to charge the drill battery?

    Good job.Thanx

    i did this with mine and it created a load on the ceiling fan generator.
    did this do the same for yours?

    @0karde0 Yes i sent a few to Dan i was inspired by muddy.Im selling them on
    ebay

    thank you sharing this information

  11. iamzid says:

    get a Dewalt next time Dan. a lithium ion Dewalt. it is a very nice drill.

    I’m really looking forward to seeing the complete drive system chain you
    will devise: Sun->Parabolic mirror-> Water Column-> Steam-> Steam
    Engine/Piston-> Flywheel-> Gearbox-> generator-> charge controller->
    battery-> inverter-> happiness. You can do it!

    i work part time as an electrician and touching both wires together doesn’t
    even hurt.. it doesn’t feel good, but it doesn’t really hurt you.

    I have an idea for a wind turbine that is so crazy that it works you would
    laugh

    @STARFIRESOLAR hahahahaha man,… he is making a wind mill :)) this just
    testing 😀

    What size are the magnets

  17. kdknitro says:

    i think its funny how your drill put out 18 volts with is what volt the
    battery was lol

    @awesomelightning Please do not make such suggestions. It is very possible
    to be electrocuted or suffer an electric shock which may affect your heart
    (sometimes hours later) from contacting mains voltages. Industry standards
    vary between jurisdictions, but in general anything over 50V is considered
    of risk (it can depend on the conditions). I personally have received an
    electric shock, thanks to an electrician not following proper puncture of
    surface procedures, and I wouldn’t wish it on anyone.

    @leeryman …. and what I really DO mind is if you grab the wire, and pull
    the plugh out WHILE holding the aluminum on the screen with your full ahnd.
    Honestly I have been zapped way too many time to count with high voltages
    but not with high amperages. I do sometimes zap myself on purpose with
    static electricity or HV/LC sparks. They don’t hurt, on the contrary, they
    feel good. :3 I don’t intend for anyone to follow me, since it still did
    mess with my mind a lot. Don’t get paranoid!

    @leeryman I have had 150,000 volts go through my body with nothing more
    then a tickle. When I was young a 6 volt Volkswagen almost killed me.
    Voltage is only part of the equation. In order is quantify you commit you
    must use it in relation to wattage or scrap that and use Amps.

    try to build a free energy machine LOL the alternator powering its on
    generating source

  22. LOPEZdJUNGLIST says:

    most interestin vid ive seen for a while

  23. Val D says:

    cool

  24. GatheringSticks says:

    another great video

  25. web1bastler says:

    that light in the powerstrip isn’t a led it’s a neon or a glimming bulb
