    Cut your jibber jabber i ain’t gettin on no plane…

    You can attach a motor to the turbine so that when the blades spin they spin the motor and therefore create electricity. In order to actually use this electricity you’ll need a charge controller, some lead acid batteries to charge and an inverter. It’s actually not very difficult to set up.

    I like it.

    Very clever design, nice use of available resorces. You have planted a seed in my brain….. Thank you

    Mr Tesla transmitted significant amount of energy without wire, but my wind turbine rotated alternator and makes energy with wires .

  6. NETWEIT2 says:

    how do you convert that into energy? by wires or something?

    What you mind “get into building” ?

    Nice work .. Getting into building turbines myself…

    nice :)

    I would definitely not stand near that, unless you built it really really strongly…

  11. Klemens73 says:

    Right – it spins only CCW… CD reorientation is needed to make it turn CW.

  12. afcmcp says:

    Does it only spin CCW or could it start spinning CW if by chance the wind caught it in another direction??? It should be bi-directional so I would think. What have you found?

    I have used simple 12v dc motor as generator which gave me almost 5 volts on average winds and lit small LEDs quite bright. My guess is if wind would go above 15-20 m/s it would be burn out. My biggest problem with my experiments is that there’s no strong and steady winds in my balcony and I am looking for most efficient design.

    Nice idea, how many amps were you getting from this design and what motor where you using?

    THAT is what I would call recycling!!!!
