Qualitative VAWT Comparison - YinYang-ish and Ugrinski-ish VAWT
Looking at how two turbine behave when exposed to the wind. One is similar to the Yin Yang VAWT from a previous video, and the other is similar to a Ugrinski VAWT. I wanted to see how well a turbine would spin with just the center portion of the Ugrinski only opened up for more air flow. And then added scooped out sides, but no curl like the Ugrinski. It looked a bit like a curvy Miller rotor, so I called it a Millerinski VAWT.

I made a Yin Yang VAWT with straight wings and a slightly larger diameter. It has difficulty starting but does well once it gets going. Next I want to try putting an offset of 90 degrees between the lower and upper halves to help with starting. I also have to install the coil (200 turns of 32 AWG magnet wire) and check its performance.

A collection of video clips taken in a good wind of around 5 to 7 m/s. The output of the motor/generator was fed to a three phase rectifier and then to a green LED. The LED would barely glow at times giving a rough indication of the voltage being generated. The BLDC motor is rated for a higher speed and is perhaps not best suited for this application. However, it does generate electricity. The ...

The tip speed ratio for the small Sharp VAWT just wasn't quite high enough to produce power with the generator that was designed for the smaller diameter 3D printed VAWT. So I put the generator back on the 3D printed VAWT and mounted it on the pole where the Chinese lantern VAWT used to be. It looks happy there.

  • @craftycodger
    @craftycodger 29 дней назад

    Why did you place the pivot point where it requires a counter balance? Could the pivot point be placed in the balance point of the wing (rather than the forward end) in order to eliminate or reduce the counter balance?

    • @MickEMaus3000
      @MickEMaus3000 29 дней назад

      That is definitely something worth looking into. Moving the pivot point away from the center of mass of the wing helps give the aerodynamic forces more leverage, but it increases the inertia of the whole assembly. Moving it closer would lighten things up, but might not give the aerodynamic forces enough leverage to fight against the inertial forces. But the optimal point may be different than what I've got. I just modeled it after the design in the patent.

    Run the center post all the way to the top as an elliptical cone. Keep the top open to vent capture air upwards. Build your outer wings thick at bottom and as they get closer to top decrease thickness. This creates air flow gradient bottom to top.

I am not knowledgeable in the "Bird wing" concept but I do have one thought/recommendation to transfer more motion to the stepper motor. I think if you decrease the distance from the bottom of the wing to the stepper if would transfer the motion more efficiently. The stepper would also serve as a more controlled "pivot" point. I am in no way trying to act like I know anything about this. It is truly an interesting concept. Good luck I look forward to seeing how it progresses. (new subscriber gained)

    Alternators are 110 AC. They have rectifiers built into them to make them 12VDC. If you run that out and rectify it back to 110. You are wasting time. Just pull the rectifier modules off the alternator and it will be 110AC when spun at the right RPMs it will be 60 Htz. Why mike out the shaft? were you putting a different drive system on it. Check the threads bud. Thats the main thing. Its probably metric.
