How bad are Chinese Wind Generators really? 

Very informative video. Thank you! All the best from. Dublin City. Republic of Ireland.

The brand new wind generator looks very nice. Thank you for sharing

Great video...now Im hoping I can duplucate what you do by studying the video! I dont have an electrical background. Hopefully my common sense will prevail😁 Very dry at my home in central PA. Conserving water....we could use some of your extra rain please.

Very good, thanks!

Great video! I just pulled the trigger on a 400 watt 24 volt unit to supplement my 800 watt solar array. We have no shortage of wind here in the Adirondack mountains of NY (US). Guess we'll see how long it holds up, $200 amazon special.

Yea the weather is bad Im off grid on solar and winter is a bad time for me have to start the genny with the price of gas wow cant wait for next vid

I got the 24 volts, 600 watts model. I already had 1600 watts of solar panels. I've had it since March 7 th. I only have it 16 feet high because there's a lot of lightning ⚡ here. My battery bank is made from twenty big marine batteries from Autozone. There was an 87 mph wind storm in May, and it survived. I used grade 8 bolts instead of the ones they sent. It was making over a thousand watts for about twenty minutes until the wind let up. It's made similar to yours but the part with the bearing is thicker. I put some Armor All spray on the blades, (3) , and the crack where it's put together. I used a 1 1/2 ID pipe that's fastened to a piece of angle iron that's lag bolted to the barn. There's only five feet of it past the ridge of the barn. I made the base with a three foot piece of bigger pipe protruding from the concrete so that I can raise the pole another three feet if I wanted to. It would get cleaner air, but probably hit by lightning ⚡. I live on the side of a hill not too far from the top. So I have it chained to the base at the moment. It is almost 7 a.m., the battery bank is showing 25.1 volts, things will be charging again in a few minutes. Full charge is 25.6. The batteries are pretty much charged by ten a.m. usually. I have my wind generator hooked up to the battery bank with a 250 amp rectifier. It works pretty well that way. It can't make enough to overcharge them, enough to damage anything, I just turn something on like the hotplate if the voltage gets a little bit too high. I paid $433 for the wind generator. It's holding up okay so far. It was funny when I got it. I had already ordered it, and my uncle came to check out my power system. He said, well you've got a pretty good system, except you need a windmill. About two days later it shows up. I wish I could have taken a picture of his face. It was pretty funny.

Those would be great to have. I wonder if it could be made from a truck’s alternator

Is there any update to this wind turbine output

It will be interesting to see how well it performs before and after your modifications? I went to watch your capacitor battery video and I couldn't find it. So I'd appreciate it if you could please supply a link or video name so that I can check it out.

Interesting I'm thinking of doing the same but using a solar controller with a 3 phase diode with heat sink to see if it fixes surging there's many ways very good.

Good video. I want to improve my supply and think Wind might be the answer. I am on 48 volt system and looking for a 48 turbine. Do you have a recommendation? Thanks.

It works better without controller, use 3phase bridge rectifier only.

WOW! When you pulled the rotor out the Magnets are sooo tiny! No wonder these cannot achieve much power... Also the wire windings are ultra thin, Loose and short. Yeah I'm gonna stick to building my own.

Some funny sound/video alignment issues going on there, but otherwise very interesting. I'm on grid and urban, but have always wanted a turbine to supplement my solar generation at night and wet winter days.

Would recommend you use a top over video stand looking down on the item you're demonstrating so the back of your head doesn't keep covering up what you're trying to display. Otherwise, very helpful video!

Thank you for the information,these turbines have gotten so inexpensive that I (oops) bought three. Project moving forward B.

Are you planning on mounting the rectifier on the pole and sending down 2 wires (- +)? Or, are you planning on sending down the 3 wires 3 phase AC, placing the rectifier where the battery is?

I just pulled mine down. No more for me I was loosing power with the turbine. As soon as I disconnected power to it. The power went up . When there’s no sun for solar I use battery charger to boost power on very dull days. Espialy overnight.

Any thoughts on 3 vs 5 blades on these types of wind turbines?

Would love to see a ELI5 on build your own super capacitor bank. You say there is a separate video showing how it was made, but a search for 'capacitor' doesnt return it :(

where did you buy that from?

where can I get one of those?

Bet this got a workout last night

If you look at the various turbines you will actually see that the only thing different between the 300w and the 600w is the sweep of the blades.

In the last 8 months they have progressed by extreme leaps and bounds.

Instead of gluing magnets on, why not just go to a machine shop and have them machine you a new rotor? You can have them design the magnet holder gaps exactly the way you want. I believe this will work a lot better.

How noisy are they? this causes problems for urban installations, (where most people live).

400 Watts in 85 mph of winds

$299.00 Zealand dollar is about $3.50 AUD, LOL sorry

thats so true watts and kg and psi work difirent in china as here in cape town...not a saporter of china

dont buy those 400 watt vawts 0 power wont spin fast enough to charge took it apart found the prouble they only got little 1/2 '' button magnets in them now with that tiny alternator . i short tested the three wires toghter to test for cogging strenth you can easely spin the shaft with your fingers there should be some cogging but doesnt seem to have any no amps with a amp meter comming off the rectafier either couldnt even get it to do 6 volts spinning by hand it was the 12-24volt machine i wanted 24volt not even close didnt waist my time installing it it went to the dump because i would never sell this to someone else . so i would differ they just got worst .
