How to Make a Vertical Axis Wind Turbine | DIY Tutorial 

If you want text version of any of my Projects visit 👇👇 newphysicist.com/make-vertical-axis-wind-turbine/ 🔥 There You can read my experiences while I’m making that particular Project. Thank you. Happy Making.

Thanks for your support my friends. Make this project by yourself. Visit my blog newphysicist.com for step by step guide. 1. Cycle rim amzn.to/33BFH18 2. Dynamo1 amzn.to/2J3j8dW 3. Dynamo 2 amzn.to/31ozuUI 4. Camera I use amzn.to/2oVnn4m 5. Tripod I use amzn.to/32vM7hY

Excellent example for a R.E. Project! I’m going to access welding and the metal. Coming from a bike parts perspective , I may go for sealed bearings for the axle hubs.

Great design! Also great use of readily available items. Thanks for posting this video.

Now I have the same dream! Thanks for open my eyes! Congratulations 👏👏👏👏

I wish my DIY project could end up looking half as good as yours. Just got this on a rec vid for me glad I clicked on it. Really amazing work you did to work out the parts at such a lower cost to get the quality you did. I can just imagine some tweaking on gears how much output this could generate really well done.

Sweet. All reclaimed parts. Premo! Hard work = good pay off. Tks

Just like the one my kids and I made 10 years ago! It was alot of fun!

Aromal - you're absolutely brilliant. A worldchanger.

Very good. You may put a glide cover as well to direct all the spreaded air falling on all leaves together to be directed to fall on one leaf, so it will boost the thrust to one leaf thus increase power output and an electronic voltage regulator (EVR) can give the steady regulated output. Keep it up.

First, if you want harnest wind, go up. Upper than threes, with support wires. Second, to create energy from generator you almost always need 3000 rpm to 10.000 rpm. So you need transmission ratio <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="70">1:10</a>0. Also you need bigger wings, like 3 or 5 half barrels, size 200 liter. Branch lenght about 3-5 meter, vertical axle must be 2m longer and you need support wires from up and down fron it to branches. Then you get easily 1,5kW from normal car alternator. And those have regelator build-in. Normal car batteries are ok to storage this energy. Good luck!

우연히 자전거바퀴 2개를 구매했는데 이걸 만들어야겠어요. 좋은 내용 감사합니다.

That's amazing, looks like a work of art too. Think I make this one rather than the other one with propellers on and wrong tail. Thank you for showing us how to make it. Bless you

Brilliant, out of all the DIY VAWT's this is the simplest and probably the most efficient I've seen on RU-vid. There's no need for welding either cos the 'L' shaped brackets could easily be bolted on!. I'm making a v similar VAWT for my balcony, using scrap plastic guttering and a motor from a Hovermower ( aka Flymower) that I got from a skip. I'm making a smaller diameter turbine cos I have to be careful the council will tell me to get rid of it. So it's a 1'' chrome plated pipe that i am attaching metal coat hangers to, to hold the 'blades'. Each 'blade' will have 2 metal coat hangers that are attached to each other top to tail, to make it easier to attach to the pole and the turbine blades. I am planning on running 3 gene's off one VAWT, 1 x 240v/300w motor and 2 x micro gene' from an old broken DVD player and the Dynamo from my pushbike I can no longer ride due to knee problems. So the big gene will hopefully power the lights in my flat( aka apartment) , and the 2 micro genes to charge my phone and run a small water pump to irrigate a vertical garden I plan on building on my balcony, also from guttering.

Truly Excellent!

Ý tưởng rất hay, Thanks for share, love from Việt Nam 🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳

Why thx for the nice video. I like that you re-use existing stuff. Keep going 👍🏻

Fabulous. I'D LOVE TO SEE THIS DEVELOPED INTO A LARGER POWER SYSTEM. Genius.

I'm so proud to be a part of the human race when I see such brilliant ideas ❤ like this. Some day I pray we will all have free CLEAN energy.

Nem assisti todo o vídeo, já achei o progeto brilhante 😃😃

Great re purposing of old stuff that would end up in land fill! Love it may try it myself.

Great work you guys! Using bicycle wheels is pure genius! I hope you can do more, helping your neighbors, and make some money on this project, and then getting a MIG welder run with Argon gas. The welds would be beautiful and better. Keep it up.

Neat project. I think that I will make one. I would only add that you align the center shaft better so the wheel bearings don't bind and cause drag. Also suspend it on its side and balance it using screws as weights. I noticed the wobble it had working at the end. This would also cause drag. Otherwise fabulous project, bravo!

you are the one , keep walking straight ahead

I like the simplicity, the use of locally available material, and the overall concept. It could be easily scaled up and with a 48 to 52 volt dynamo, produce enough power to keep a large battery pack charged. Using a 4 12 volt battery pack, and a 48 volt dynamo would potentially allow you 4 different 12 volt accesses or a pair of 24 volt circuits depending on what the local standards are. This unit probably produces low amperage, but it is a start, using what looks like a sewing machine motor. It works, low amperage or high. The drive belt on a higher amperage unit might need an idler pulley to keep from slipping, but for this demo, it was not a priority. Keep on working, if it works, great, if it fails, figure out the problem and go at it again.

Very nicely done, very creative and even if your using off camera wind to demonstrate it works that's fine too very artistic as well. I like the use of light materials it makes the generator easy to turn and great use of local resources too the bike wheels are brilliant even using the old tube very ingenious my friend. Keep up the good work and don't let a few stupid skeptics stop you well done

I was searching for table fan in the video, appreciate ur honesty for showing in the end.

Muy bueno para las fincas en los llanos de Colombia. Desde Villavicencio Colombia me gusta muy buena idea.

O cara é um GÊNIO! abriu a minha idéia!

WELL DONE

Excellent! It seems the motor has helped to run the wind turbine.

Those are some pretty impressive welding skills

Great skill. You can be self reliant.

I like your project very much.

Best design yet! 😯

Good project. Let do that for the climate's DISORDER !!

dude, this is probably one of the most amazing human changing projects I've seen on youtube, this could give power to so many people

Funny...the wind turbine is spinning madly but the leaves of the trees aren't even moving.

Parabéns indiano, você merece. Deus vús abençoe você família e familiares, Amém...

thank you friend for your tutorial very simple to realise by a bushmen. I really appreciated it

Love to see what he does with the rest of the bicycle!

Wind mills are an old technology, fraught with the limitations of wind. You have shown great creative energy with available materials. Keep up the fun work.

New Physicist - you are a genius! Kudos to you and your family must be very, very proud.

Thanx, like the simplicity and easy available materials used. You are great! Blessings 🙏❣️💞

I have just watched your video at midnight <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="60">1:00</a>am and just went through the comments and I am surprised to see lot of foreigners rather than Indians appreciating your work and your work seems to be pretty smart and very creative. You seems to be a very good engineer and your renewable energy source work can be widely used across the country and get as much as benefit. Excellent work keep it up.

I like the bike wheel to start with, and the brackets - but since I don't weld, I'd have to reconfigure a few things. Might also go with a heavier PVC pipe, cut lengthwise, and a taller mast to get it higher in the windy air.

Wonderful! Smart brain!

Awesome, good job. I'm thinking about buying 2 400 watt vertical lantern style wind turbines. My idea is to mount them about 5 feet apart but one would be exactly 5' above the other one then connect the blades together with 6' half pipes similar to what u used.

nice idea

Great idea , A Bigger scale with larger fins can produce more power and You can use a bigger Dynamo. Congratulations for a good work ... keep it on, dream more :) ... I subscribe , I like your job , Bless you .

جزاک اللہ خیرا بھائی جان

I need this! Thank you

Great insight into the build just subscribed and it’s a nice compact turbine I also have built a homemade 650 watts wind turbine, a treadmill motor turbine and a little but powerful ametek 30v turbine and built 2 diy solar panels, be careful in high winds one of my first turbines blew up 😕and now have only 2 wonderful turbines working daily 😊it’s very satisfying watching those things working, keep up the good work buddy 👍

muito bom um dos melhores.

Keep on sharing may lot bless more and more knowledge. Amen

cerdas. saya sangat menyukai ide yg anda sajikan. terimakasih

पेड़ का एक पत्ता भी ना हिल रहा लेकिन ये फास्ट घूम रहा 😃😃😜😃😃

Mashaa Allaah very nice information Jazak Allaah Khair Al Jazaa fi Duneya wa Al Akhirah Aameen 🌹🇮🇳🌹

We in Indonesia appreciation for your create friends..with small blowing of the wind but still turn normally up..

Thanks for the idea and sharing it.

Magnífico!

Hi all guys. Pour much more water to cool the drill bit. I use a 40 ml syringe, which I empty slowly while drilling. I have drilled hundreds of holes and my drill bits are still sharp...

A simple but effective design. Nice piece of work fella.

many thanks, a great practical implementation of obtaining alternative green energy

Sería mejor usar el centro de circunferencia para generar energía, quizás sea menor la velocidad, pero la fuerza es mayor; Buen video saludos.

Thank you so much. Now I have an cheap method to get power in my Garden. You should produce this thing and sell it. It is genius. This could help to bring elektricity everywhere... Joerg from Germany

Renewable this is very interesting for me

FANTASTIC

It is a handmade application with bicycle wheels from the Savonius rotor, invented in 1922. If you have space where there’s a lot of wind, maybe you’ll get some energy. These types of rotors are very rarely used due to their low performance, in relation to their size. The advantage is that they do not need guidance and go very well where there are gusty winds that change direction quickly. All anemometers work like this. Darrieus rotors are more efficient, but often have trouble starting. Then, they are usually combined on the same vertical axis, the two: A large Dareius and a smaller Savonius starter It is possible to build them, with two halves of drums of 200 liters. Then, they are welded vertically forming the drawing of an S. That would be a simpler, cheaper and more effective way in terms of the force generated.

Awesome! The only wind turbine that spins super fast even when all the trees around it are not moving 😂😂😂 Edit: yes, it's a great build (as in "awesome")👍, and yes I realize the wind is being artificially created. 🌬 I was jesting, kidding, joking, teasing :)

Buen trabajo tienes mucho talento sigue adelante

Salut.. Ur great.. I wacthing till your work finish.. Good job bro

Magnífico!!

I love watching homemade power projects like this. Combined with other sources, such as solar/PV panels and/or maybe hydro-microturbines, this could provide sustainable electricity for modern residences or businesses. Your video indicated that the maximum power output for a "VAWT" wind turbine like this would be about 12V. I'm curious about this: Is there a way to fabricate a bunch of these turbines, say, three or four, and disperse them around a residential yard and yet plug all of them into a household PV setup so that when the wind blows, the house batteries charge, and when the sun shines, the same batteries also charge? If so, what would that involve?

Esos inventos si funcionan uno no hay trucos, como muchos k hacen.mil bendiciones Dios le bendiga

Great diy job 👍thanks

The more people who get on board with renewable energy like wind, solar, hydro/tidal and build storage and distribution, the better

never stop doing what makes you happy

Appreciate your efforts. You are genius

Молодец! Спасибо за твои отличные идеи!

Vertical turbines like this one have quite a significant part of the wind power canceling each other out as the wind hits the backside of each fin. If you build a case to house the turbine, with a curved front to channel the wind into a narrow opening so that the wind hits the front of each fin only, I bet you will at least double the efficiency.

Legal, a ideia é boa! Mas... funciona só com vento ambiente também? ou só com um soprador? Estou perguntando por que aparentemente esta correia que você colocou esta freando muito o seu projeto. Ficaria melhor com engrenagens. Boa sorte.

Adaptability is the future.❤🙏👍

Thanks your video.very helpful....

Thats a cheap alternative for people that live in poor remote areas, as long as there is open ground wind will blow and you can easily charge a small battery or a large one if you have more then one of thease to power lights

Bravissimo.. idea geniale.. Tu pensi che si possa usare un motorino piu' grande ?? Complimenti ancora

Good use of what components were available. Put to good use.

Chingon ese proyecto boy a construir una saludos desde Mexico

Hi, I'm from Brazil, São paulo - capital... Congratulations on your work and dedication. If you need anything, tell me. It would be great to have a friend so interested in these matters. Sorry about my english is not very good.

Nice work, congratulations. Greets from Germany :-)

thanks for sharing the ideas.

Spot on project, well thought out. thanks for the vid.

Love whirlygigs that power party lights! But can we appreciate the irony that he used an electric fan to blow the generator to make electricity 😂😂😂

Hello, I congratulate you for the video and the turbine, what practical use do you give? Because doing all that to feed 4 led seems impractical, a big greeting from uruguay

bicycle parts rock for so many things. very good

Rất hay bạn là một chuyên gia sáng tạo

How dose this work while tree leaves next to it standstill?

Nicely done! I wonder how many watts it's capable of at various wind speeds.

Its good video, light materials that can withstand weather, bearings might need covering to prevent water damage and dynamo can be boxed in. You probably need to make a hole in the ground put rocks and concrete to make it solid and then wire it to car battery with cut out to prevent overcharge, but overall excellent design and dont let bad comments bother you its trial and error, test and improvise is the way to go.love it.

espectacular creacion Dios los bendiga
