How much power generates

Thanks for posting this info Paulie. The wife and I recycle as much as we
can and this is another way to reduce, re-use, and recycle.

would help if blade was bigger

did you actually changed anything to the cooling fan? or you just opened it
for curiosity?

You get past the obvious things. 1. No need to be extracted from the fan
housing. 2. Need to gather fans in one panel. 3. You can even put the fan
by one by one. Verified by experiments.

i think the blades would turn better if was facing opposite direction, of
course mounting would be more difficult and different cuz you would need to
keep the fan frame to mount the horizontal pole

Cool, good luck with it, its fairly easy.

Thanks, its really simple to make, all you need to do is scale it up a bit
and you’d have enough to power some pretty hefty stuff within the home.

you can use a 3 transistor to higher the voltage then the L.E.D work
brighter

no not realy but you can or may get more energy out of it by putting the
blade backwards

hello
YTEngineer says:
April 1, 2014 at 10:09 pm (UTC 0)
Of course it would, but its a PC fan!!!
YTEngineer says:

Yes, it charges the battery while its turning, you should try it, its very
cheap and effective.
Jose Soto says:

you need to invert the fan, the curve should face the other direction to
grab the air, not deflect it
jaymar espiritu says:

it can charge the baterry?

plus I am making stuff 🙂 ! it’s alwayscool to see the things you made with
your own hands moving and working

Now to power a whole house 🙂

Cool ill give it a try, thanks for the tip.

why not just use the solar lights?
YTEngineer says:
April 2, 2014 at 1:39 am (UTC 0)
Not completely. It would probably be better to do the same steps with a
larger DC motor, maybe a radiator fan from a car

Mau, have you found a good way to light a bulb? If you need help you can
email me shorttyd@gmail.com

It might be cheaper to just hook up some more small turbines like that.

I have a couple of design ideas that I want to try to make. BUT I’m still
looking for information on generators and how I actually put it to use. Any
information will be appreciated!!
Wardo says:

1:30, thats why you build the mill on top of a rotary base and have a fin
attached behind the wind mill that will line the windmill up with the
direction of the wind
Vamshi Dasari says:

How much current does it produce when the vertical wind mill rotates nearly
1000rpm??

I was one of those who never had the courage But now that we have managed
to build a solar panel and have advanced in knowledge and think make money
from it not only saves It is unbelievable You can find here
ABOUTSOLARCELLS. COMXA. COM all the tips guidance …. will learn how to
build end help build keeping in touch with them and THOSE with EXPERIENCE
help them find what they need and guiding is one of the best in the market
believe me ABOUTSOLARCELLS. COMXA. COM

every home should have a windmill on it, store the power in batteries under
the house

Coool showing ,what he isn’t telling u is it would take some 10 or 20 times
the size of the windmills in this video ,more or less great yard art which
is very enjoyable to see.Tha

hay i have to do this project for school and since the econemy is becoming
crapy i thought itd be nice to make one of these for my house to power some
little devises to at least make somewhat of a difference in my parents bill
can u explain to me how to build one or just telll me wat site to visit
thanks

Thanks for the link pal, i already know the site and the guy that produced
it – he was on V-radio show another day – i’ve watched the frist bit though
– 13 hours is quite some time, ins’t it? Take care 🙂 FS

so what is the windmill spinning that generates electric , like a generator
but where can i get one and can i sell the energy to the power company?

@VegaScienceTrust hello im really interested in wind electricty and i have
a idea that could make this world a better place and if you could please
email me at mattnjen32608@yahoo.com i will send you my idea than you

I have always wondered, what degree are the blades set at?

I see windmills can be used as temporary power source during a storm.
There’s lots of wind and if the power company cuts off or the electricity
just goes off then there’s an alternative,
