Wind Generated Power
Return to DiscussionsI think I have come up with a relatively inexpensive wind mill generator. I will be starting on a prototype soon and will document with photos and plans on this site so others can duplicate and improve upon. Any ideas and advice is much appreciated. Thanks.
Hey Guy, how's it goin'?
As I have been involved in alternitave power systems for many, many years I will eagerly await your idea and if i can help you with the prototype, please let me know, either here or by e-mail.
Sense I am a longtime "Ham" radio operator I have at every place I've lived had a communications tower up so I use the tower for both communications antennas AND an "eggbeater" style wind generator. I have been using these style of generator ever sense they came out as they are more efficent, and will catch wind from any direction with just a little breeze. I can give u spec's on them va the old wind vane style if u like.
The other reason for using a communications tower is that I have several Votaic [solar] cells mounted on the tower directly and the mounts are such that they slide out to a 90 degree positition to the tower then track the sun's movement from rise to set then fold back up against the tower making the ability to have as many cells as I wish on the tower. In this way, having votaic cells AND the wind unit, I have the best of both worlds.
