How to Make an Inexpensive Vertical Wind Turbine – Part 1
Kit for sale now- www.berezintechnologies.com Visit Blog at http for details on wind and other stuff I do. Part 2 is now done and covers power generation: www.youtube.com Harness the wind for less than 0. DIY vertical wind turbine of the Savonius style. Notable is that this cost less than 0 in materials so far and that the largest part of this turbine is recycled materials (the PVC drums previously held Balsamic Vinegar from Italy). Also, this turns well in a very light wind. Axle: 3 inch PVC piping from Home Depot Bearings: 5 inch lazy suzan from Lowes. Part 2 will cover power generation and connection to the battery bank.
Cool video. It’s a neat recycling idea. Will the PVC hold up in a heavy wind?
YOU can SEE WIND!
Now, what’s the purpose of this??? The last thing I want to do is put something ugly like this under my deck, so I can see it spin… Am I missing something here? Why don’tl you try puting a generator on this thing!!
@1heliosik Please check out part 2 for the answer to your questions.
That is propably not going to last very long. Especially in the rain.
IT’S ALIVE!
Those Lazy Susan bearings are very noisy.
the purpose is to find ways to help the planet we as ppl have slowy messed up ,,, so instead of being neg about this we should come together to make the idea better , I think the thinking behind this vid was a good thing for us
little noisy don’t yea think?
good job
i built a very similar turbine using only one of these 55 gallon drum and found that a quarter inch steel shaft running through the barrel connected on either side by professional steel enclosed flange bearings decreased the resistance on it. without a load on the barrel it was able to start up in swirling winds under 5mph. i was also able to give it a good spin, come back in 20 to 30 minutes later and see it still spinning in dead air.
@E58565254 I would like to see a video of this.
I like the direction you are going with this preliminary trials. I also like the idea of using the heavier metal drums to carry the momentum taking some of the peaks and valleys out of the gusts. To do this I recommend a frictionless bearing like earth magnets.
Cool idea. Recycling is great idea. Have you run it up in a high wind to see how it holds up?
Looks like a big wind powered potatoe peeler.
very nice work
thank you
You need a battery and a cable and a reservoir
would it be possible to make or design a window mounted mini or micro wind turbine unit. have the wind turbine producing a small amount of heat to help keep your house warmer in the winter. maybe have the wind turbine connected directly to a heat dump load. people that live in cold climates would most likely buy a lot of them. people buy air conditoners to keep cool this would be a green easy way for people to help heat homes. if anyone can make something like this please mail me
fantastic sports fans! i love it!
for what is this turbine?
@TheRebel861 energy
@ScarFace9797 interesting, but where or how conect to an instrument for transform rotation energy to electric enery?
@TheRebel861 there is a generator attached to the bottom part of the pole, and as it spins it generates electricity.
I watched this clip and part 2, many ignorant comments among the viewers.
I would say this is a realy smart cheap and easy way to do a sivonius.
Keep up the good work Im gonna watch the six barrel now.
Ps how much was the alternator?
