DIY Wind Turbine 

I really like this style of video, it's what I watch these types of things for. The thought process and the actual parts shown on screen is what helps a lot. Idk when or if I'll be able to attempt this but it's highly appreciated.

I just got five blades and a hub for my second wind generator project. I got 28 inch blades. I bought one turbine already made so that I can see what's needed. I was going to make one like yours but my uncle gave me a DC motor. When I wrapped a cord around the 3 inch pulley and pulled ,it made 79 volts. The wind has been blowing around 30-35 all night. They sent me a 12 volts turbine and a 24 volts controller. So I ordered a 200 amps rectifier and hooked it up direct, to half my battery bank. It seems to work better on the negative side of the 24 volts setup. I guess I will have to try and put the windings in series later on. The last two March's before this one, I had to use the gasoline generator but not this year. I got the Stealth Storm blades that are good to 144 MPH. They have a strip along the edge, designed to create a wind wall at so many RPM s that slows down the blades. It eliminates the need for a furling tail. So they should help, here in tornado alley...the brake on the regulator they sent won't ever come on, I don't think. No way that little turbine is going to get my twenty marine batteries up to 30 volts for the brake to come on. I had to give $200 for the blades and hub, but they should hold up. After I found out how much power I could get from the wind, I was ready to make another one. The one I have is up 16 feet, with another 3 feet available but it's not necessary. There's a lot of wind here. I probably could have had wind before solar, but I did it the other way. It works best with both. There are two short videos of my wind generator on my channel.

Dude! I love and admire your skill! Jealous of your toolbox in support!

Thank you for the informative video.

Very cool. Hoping to see an update with the power outputs measured.

Nice design bro, Problem Solving is the core of DIY

Nice build

Great project

Nice genius man

Super neat. I have a couple of those stator/rotors I want to turn into a generator. Do you have a source to how to rewire the stator or did you figure it out yourself?

Nice video! Which brand/model washing machines work best for this?

Nice project! Were did you found the blades?

Waiting for next update and video

Which washers are best for these type motors and which older ones are cheap or free?

How much voltage you got with that smart drive motor for 200 rpm?

Im taking another approach. Not storing electricity. Basically dumping power into heating elements. By varying the load, can keep blades right in the sweet spot, no brakes required... And im capturing every bit of power those blades are catching. What to do with heat? How do you cook, keep warm, and how does virtually every power station and engine worldwide work? Heat.

Request show the rewiring schema Rectifier connection

Is it uses permanent magnet

What a great idea, to use a disc brake! thnx I'm also going to play around with this for my E-Bike windmill youtube.com/@breeze-360 What kind of brake controller are you actually using?, I am still looking for one that is rpm related.

This is hardly a DIY, unless you have a full-on machine shop at home

While I like MOST of what you did... 1: I see ABSOLUTELY NO REASON for a brake on this device... 2: Would be faster, easier, cheaper, and longer lasting to form the blades from SCH 120 PVC pipe because it is lighter, more resilient, won't rot, can be formed, reformed, and infinitely re-glued for eternity, while wood can crack, warp, rot, and little to nothing can stop this, nor patch it without a whole lot more work.

Electric brake is better
