First testing day of my self-made 500w wind turbine, final checks before giving it decent height

Welcome. Here is the first wind and first working day (well, rather half a day) on a low-wind conditions (average wind is below 3 m/s) of my self made 500w wind turbine.
It seems to be quite stable, so let's just wait and see how will it go on some longer run, before it gets the decent height.
Also, the tail needs a little bit of an upgrade, it's clear it needs a little bit of more surface area, but that's a tiny adjustment in general.

looking forward to the next video

Awesome!! Teach us more!

Thanks. Will do my best.

@bermudatriangle2036 Месяц назад

looks great, you could put some bigger turbines on the unused strong masts

@ModernUkrainianHomestead Месяц назад

Will start with those I already have. Let me just finish this, it's still a long road to go.

Fun learning videos, keep em coming please 👍 I think know what could be causing your newly made turbine to be wobbling slightly, okay so maybe just a little imbalance... But looks like you used a self aligning bearing in the previous video? That type of bearing isn't rigid and moves about in a ball joint a few degrees to 'self align' with another bearing block. At the moment it's working like a hinge and the imbalance is being exaggerated by the wobbly shaft. Adding another bearing with a gap or the slip ring between them would lock the shaft in place. Also, the bearing isn't strong like that, if the turbine gets blown over I will bet you that the bearing has been pulled out of the green mounting plate!

yes, the reason of wobble is the green bearing, I've already dismantled it and figured out what it is. the turbine should not go off the bearing, as it has locking joints, two of them, cone shape, that fixates the turbine body in a stable position. and the wobble is inside the bearing itself, since the covers were not pressed hard enough inside, which I was not aware of before, and also I have to apply little bit of better grease inside so it keeps rotating as it should. also, the tail plate is rebuilt already - will explain all that stuff in the next video.

What kind of controller you plan to use for ft2000l2? Deye inv. directly? Are you happy with these controllers you show on the video for smaller turbines?

@ModernUkrainianHomestead 29 дней назад

smaller controllers seem to be just fine for the smaller turbines. they match in the capabilities, so no issues. for FT-2000L2 I plan using the grid tie inverter I currently use a smaller FT-1000 (the blue one, working in pure wind-turbine inverter mode), but with better brakes of course. and FT-1000 will get a local-made controller, which I already have for some time and in no use atm.
