Illegal here in Canada to steal electricity. Not a new idea by a long shot.

Your design uses the chain and sprocket in a way it wasn’t designed. It minimizes contact between the chain and gear, which maximizes wear. Either get or make an 18” chain ring, then set the sprocket to rotate on the vertical axis parallel to the chain ring and run a chain around the two in a manner that a chain drive is designed to function. This will maximize chain/gear contact and minimize wear. Your determination to go your own way ignores the mechanical engineering that you are “almost” using for a more primitive method using the more modern materials. Use the chain and sprocket in the way it was designed, and you will achieve a greater reward for your efforts. By the way I do love the design and size of your vertical axis windmill!

I think I would have kept my gloves on when I discharged that cap!

Geeeez! The concept with the chain track is way elegant enough for that as you've set it. As for size changes of your other gears & pinions... Got welder & driller or a machinist pal who'd do T correctly for you... Attached to chain drive to a reversed motor of the most efficient way to balance all of the chassis beholdings out upon & to 'House' it inside a well protective yet circulated naturally with the airflow through & through... And hourly/# of rpm > oil Auto-Drippers just above the contact spots of Track/Chain/Pinions/Gears ??? Maybe hydraulic compressor timed, ... like a 'shart' pushin' out the drops of oil in Auto oilers .... Dang, Sir'ster Bru_dude of @Double M Innovations ... #Double_M_Innovations ~ And Way Beyond Elegance is best built in the cold season for endurance to be achieved...

I like the wheel running on the underside, though I would prefer if you use frictionless magnetically entrained wheel.

This is why you should go to school kids. And take some electrical engineering courses. It's not "free electricity". Once you place an inductive load big enough next to a power line, they will detect the loss across the line and send crews out to investigate. You will get charged with theft. Leave power lines alone. I can just imagine the number of electrical engineers who saw this video and shook their heads in resignation 😅

Always amuses me when people post videos to the internet, of them breaking the law.

They actually make a lose pinned and roller chain for going around radius. I've seen it used in lumber mills.

Why use the TIP of your screwdriver?

What if a guy was to use a non posi Dana 60 axle as the turn table holder and PTO for the windmill? Bury the non drive side in concrete and the other end that drives the differential on the turntable. The yoke off of the differential could then be geared to what ever the average RPM needs would be for a pump or a DC generator?

Can you put a load on this fence set up?

👍

Oh another thought, some of the parts I didn’t salvage for the Greenhouse & bandsaw mill I built came from a surplus company in the mid west, they have lots of hard to find parts for creators like us.

I turn my 40,00p lb green house with a gear assembly salvaged from a boat hoist powered by a 24v, 5 rpm 5 amp motor . I like building stuff from salvaged materials like you, keep up the good work!

Just a thought on the chain , could you wrap it around the outside of the circle with the sprocket shaft running vertical?

Oh yeah, you can absolutely see current flow under high voltage lines. Buddy n' I blew a brake caliper ripping down a powerline trail. Lines overhead are 500kv. The D150 would shock us every time we touched it, and if you ran your hand over the hood it had had an almost vinyl-record texture as you ran your fingers over it. Magnetic fields created by AC sure are something.

Maybe you could glue magnets to the bottom outer ring and have windings just beneath? I'll bet you could produce pleny of juice! Thanks for the video

Too late. The top has already been around hundreds of years.

Make it do some work. Put a load on it and see what happens. 😂

"Black streak on the tire" Yeah there's a black streak throughout the tire. Its molded in all black

I have build wind turbines for over 50 years. You'd do well to make a design change favoring less rotational mass. I once built a large vawt much like that shown in the beginning part of your video, but instead of moving all that mass, I chose to use blades positioned around a circle 16 feet in diameter, catching wind from any direction, creating a vortex. I then immersed a hollow flat rectangular blade and let the vortex power it making it safe in any wind and in an emergency, a tarp tossed up on the windward side would stop the whole thing. Think of two fly swatters joined together right next to each other held closely together at their handles, close up to the screens, all mounted horizontally about a center vertical shaft.

Good video router Groove in it and lay the chain in the groove

ZONK! RIP

What I really think? Your turbine is massive and will produce huge power. Quit playing with tiny toys and put an automotive differential down there. Firmly mounted to both the structure and mother earth...like in concrete. From there you can use belts, a transmission or whatever to get the speed you need and the diff gives you two outputs which you have plenty of power for.

Damn Veritasiusm was right.

Wouldn't that much liquid wax be more of a fire hazard ?

You could get the angle grinder out and grind the teeth on the sprockets.

You could make your wooden desk bigger and actually put the chain into a rebate, suggestion.

I built an open trestle postmill 1/4 size, still need to test it, will make a video.

What if you laid the chain down in the other orientation then have the sprocket riding on the inside with the shaft going straight up or down then you could figure out your gearing at the 90-degree angle? Then the chain would be easy to bend into any diameter circle you want or need.

I've seen people using timing belts in similar fashion. guess it depends what you've left over.

Use a belt drive, twist the belt to give the horizontal drive. While the turbine is spinning, you can lathe the v shape into your timber turntable. On the belt it's also a good idea to run a spring loaded tensioner pully. Good luck.😅

I feel like if you ran the chain on the outside of the wood circle but flipped it upright you would have to change the way your gear set but it would allow you to easily use any gear size that you wanted against that chain. Not sure if I described that well but basically instead of running your chain horizontal and bending it sideways keep it on the outside of that wouldn’t ring but flip it without cutting the gears vertical

This very interesting. Thoughts of maybe the board is acting a little bit like an ”Electret” This would possibly explain the gradual gain in voltage recognized An experiment of bombarding the board with high voltage 30 to 40KV for a period of time again similar as to how an Electret would be made only this time using the board. After bombarding the board with high voltage, bring the board back to your ladder positioned as was before again with the piece of bare copper wire pined with the nails, place your meter and see if there’s a voltage change. I’m imagining dipoles forming. My next experiment would be to somehow test for static charge or more correctly an electric charge radiating from the board. Fun experiment, I enjoyed the curiosity

Really cool, makes my mind spin. Like to make some comments but i don't want them to come off like i know anything. More of what if comments. Like putting wheels on alternators and attached around the big part of the shaft. Sails like on sailboats but used to funnel air into the turbine on a low wind days. To this day i still have not did something i always I wanted to do. This is a very interesting channel I hope I don't get booted off cuz of My strange communication skills. Thanks for reaching.

I would have just stuck magnets on the outer ring made a second platform under it for lots of copper coils rigged a battery or super capacitor bank and run the compressor or anything else off of that. Love the flaper windmill! by the by.

Is there some reason your not considering a belt ?

Cool deal glad I found your channel

Very interesting! Thanks for sharing!

Do you think you would get more voltage/faster charging with a bare copper wire vs a shieled coax cable?

Just e but why not a canvas top ??? Would keep everything dry ???

Interesting approach. I think you're correct to switch from a wooden gear mechanism to a metal one. My primary concern with the wooden gearing is that it's okay as a prototyping tool, but for a permanent installation, I'd be worried about friction buildup, especially during the summer month's which might lead to a fire. Not great for a primarily wooden installation. I continue to watch your developments with great interest.

Free energy people are stunned

I consider if perhaps using "hoverboard" wheels would work. They are essentially 250-350w 3 phase brushless motors. When driven by some exterior force it is possible to connect a 3 phase rectifier to the output and get DC. Plenty of videos show how to do that. And then smooth/straighten the bottom of your construction and put as many as it will pull. RUclips says you can find broken hoverboards for cheap. But this may not be applicable at all for you. Anyhow, I'll get back to what I came for. Watching your video 😅

Just a suggestion for the wheel barrow tire,,, if you lean it like a motorcycle tire would lean into a corner it would work better than 90 degrees!

Why not a differential from the rear of a car/truck to convert the rotation from vertical to horizontal? Those should be fairly efficient. That said... Your plan B with a long length of worn out chain or a flat belt might be easier to put together. If you're OK with high-speed and low-torque, you could wrap a cable around the entire upper side of the windmill and have it direct drive an alternator.

Looks really good. No idea why you need compressed air but hey if thats what you need? Have at it! Suggestion? Shorten up the distance between all the drive components and the carrier bearings as tight as possible. A short shaft is much less likely to bend.

When you cut and bend the chain, you're changing the pitch of the chain, meaning that the sprocket is no longer a good fit. This will cause significant friction losses and excessive wear. You might find you do better with a different pitch sprocket, to match the final pitch of the modified chain.

Clever use of roller chain! I think you could drive a generator with a wheel like your tachometer wheel. It's at the edge of the big rotor where speeds are high, and a small wheel provides a pretty big gear ratio already. Like the little dynamos you could spin on the wheel of a bike...

Replace those wheelbarrow wheels with 3 ebike or electric scooter wheels spaced around the circumference. You've got some great ideas!
