Denise, you are a BABE!

thank you so much for these free instructions, I cannot afford to buy plans, plus you have differant ways and types of windmills and solar. Just a cpl/ of things, PLEASE stop your table saw from wobbling!! also to find center of square just draw corner to corner and that IS center, Thanks again!! JL

It will work, spin it with a drill to check its power. Car generators and alternators require a lot of force when loaded but if your turbine is large enough and your wind is excellent, it should work.

i got a 1948 genartor off a ford will this work ?? anyone please answer thank you

after the year 2030, it will not even matter to me because I’ll be in a much better place.
Peace be with you

do you realize that there is nearly 1000 years worth of coal left on the earth? its not that were going to run out anytime soon, its that it burns so dirty…

there is no such thing as an absolute perfect circle

@WildGhorgh Routers are an option but this is MUCH quicker especially on 3/4″. Routers require many resets on 3/4″. This works up to 3″ deep material. I cut a 2×4 round table 36″ dia in 10 minutes PT wood.

Damn asses, just use your router.

You should just run the center lines from the corners, it looked like you measured yours out.

Thanks Dan. Other than a treadnmill motor(where does one find that LOL) what machines likely would have decent DC motors for a decent beginning windmill project?
April 20th, 2010 at 4:38 pm
@Treefrogs2 But you will never get an induction motor to speed with wind. DC permanent magnet motor as a generator or the best
AXIAL FLUX GENERATOR.

@Treefrogs2 Induction motors can work:-) but not a simple reverse, I misread your comment.:-)

Im following your plot, can I use a 220v 1060RPM mptor that came from a squirrel cage fan?

@bernzeppi they took my thought. I was plotting on getting some views from a balloon hoax;-)
Oh well.
LOL

I keep expecting balloon boy to appear

It’s too terrible they had to ruin their dining room to make that thing.

@DGFerro
won’t have a choice in the next 25 years.
coal will fail us miserably unless people simply stop demanding so much and they won’t.

Hanford was a military base used to produce nuclear fuel and weapons grade uranium/plutonium. It was managed by the military poorly and was designed with no thought of public safety or long term storage. The nuclear power plants today have went largely to dry cask storage that have been proven to take a beating. The need for power is here. I would like more renewable energy used in the system, but right now our choice is mostly nuclear/coal. Ill take nuclear.

Cuñado que hermosa tu hermana, presenta no?

Draw your lines corner to corner and you don’t have to measure the centre points on the wood… Guaranteed center… Hope that helps… Fantastic vid BTW, and fantastic thought – I’ll be doing this as soon as I’ve bought my house!!!

I allmost have the turbine built but am having a few mental blocks. 1) how did you mount it? did you use magnents? 2) where can I get info on a generator that would work excellent with this project?
This has been a very fun and eductional project for me and my boys–Thanks

How are you going to spin the plywood on the table saw with a guard in place?! Not sure what brand does that, but I’d like to see it. lol
April 20th, 2010 at 10:20 pm
fantastic “science”
April 20th, 2010 at 11:09 pm
I’d still prefer doing this technique with a bandsaw. Bit safer.
