For dumping the excess power, Robert Murray Smith on YT shows how to use resistive wire to create a thermal sand battery. With the temperatures there during the cold, it could come in handy and not be wasted as you rightly concerned about. Great information you have given.
You're doing great sir. Thank you for sharing with us.
I've is just had to pick up my whole bin cupboard from the side of my house for the umpteen time( I really need to chain it down or something) but there must be a way to harness the wind that HOWLS down the side of my property! There must be a couple of KWs going there in the winter months!
thanks for stopping bye. and sorry for the delay in replying. I no what you mean. but I think now I am understanding wind a bit more. it’s quite tricky to understand . but I hope to do a video on it soon. but it’s the quality of air flow and not so much the amount.
Great video, don't worry about your presenting skills, we all need to see this working, its actually something I've been wanting to do. Yep I would use your dump load for hot water or heating your battery bank in the winter months, which I quess is the room your standing in. Keep up the good work. I also understand plannign is need in the UK for wind turbines that is within a specific distance to your neighbours.
sorry for the time to reply. thanks for stopping bye. hope to be putting up more content soon. looking into other ways of using the dump cheers.
If you only gonna weld on thin plates, Kemppi 180 is big enough. We use This 200 machine and run 1.0mm dual shield wire. And it’s amazing save alot off time in the field. We almost never use stick welding. This machine save us alot of time.
same as got the 200 and I love the thing it’s my go to every time. cheers.
@@twistedtube1310 the new one is 220 Looking forward to trying it out
bullsheet
man, the rule is simple: the bigger the windwheel diameter - the lower rotation speed. the lower rotation speed - the less noise. pick the turbine with 3 or 3.5, or even better 4 m in wind wheel diameter - that one will be worth it in all aspects: production, little noise, nice looks, and overall effectiveness.
thanks for the info. will look into this. and thanks for stopping bye
Looks to be 20m too close to the ground to ever be useful.
Yep I able testing it at different highs at the minute. And I able soon going to try at different locations. Thanks for your input.

Thanks so much for your video! So pleased to see help for us in the UK Have you got an installation video of wind turbines for REAL beginners UK?
Thank you for stopping by. Not a problem what sort off video would you a whole start to finish as . Erecting the turbine to the wiring it up type off video..
@@twistedtube1310 Thank you - from start to finish, but I guess the wiring is priority
Axial Flux permanent magnet generator vs Doubly-fed induction generator which is best for wind turbine? Please reply sir
No idea
Any comments on a vertical wind turbine ?
hi sorry for not replying. not tried one but have looked at them. thinking of getting one to try. cheers
No wind, no power. Going to be an issue soon
Yep that’s how they work.
As an engineer noise can be reduced by length of pole resonance of blades and blade pass frequently which is the highest of the three.This can be reduced by changing blade spacing.
Thank you for all the tips. I try some and check the results. Thanks for stopping by.
Thanks for your effort
How can i take the brace off completely? I dont need it
If you take the bar of the bottom and remove the screws from around the top ring it should come off . Hope this helps.
Scotland cut down 14 million trees to make way for wind turbines 😂🤣😂😂🤣🤣
not to sure that’s all to eco cutting trees down 😳. glad to say no tree were taken down in my quest 😂😂. thanks for stopping by.
Yeah but that was over a 20 year period. And they planted 272 million trees in the same time frame. So they can have both lots of trees and greener energy. Win win
great video mate, well put together, very informative
Glad you enjoyed it. and thank you for stopping by.
Hello! I recently bought this shear tools and i've noticed that the upper part of the blade (the one that swivels up & down) it's a little loose (has a little play when it's not used). it's normal or it's something broken or untighten inside? can you please confirm if yours it's the same please? thank man!
Hello, my one is still nice and tight at the minute. But have not used it loads of times maybe 30. If it still cuts I think it should be ok . Unless it’s a lot of play then the knive pivot may be worn. Hope you get it sorted

Can you install these?
Hi I have installed it myself. but I don’t install them.
I'm living on a narrow boat I'm looking into wind turbines now... I'm using lithium batteries and bi focal panels but in the depths of winter it would be nice to use the wind to power me up this winter I haven't needed to use anything but my solar set up to live but I think turbines would be a really good supliment.. keep up the great informative vids
Thanks for stopping by. Defo look at a turbine if you can get high and clean air flow I think you will see some great results. For me and my size of battery bank I think I need to parallel two more to see good results. But for you on what size you my have I think would be good. Keep me posted.
I would dump from the turbine You can put a separate three-phase rectifier in line and use the output from this to run the dump load and use the controller/ rec setup to change your battery bank with a over voltage dump load ,as soon as you start dumping from the separate rectifier the current going to the the battery bank will be reduced according to the strength of the dump load running from the separate rectifier. Try putting two and a half raps of insulation tape on top of each other round the tip of each blade to stop the whistling noise
Thank you for all the info will look into trying some of your ideas. Thanks again.
Thanks very helpful.
Hello everyone since i follow all wind and solar diy subjects , feels good to see new uploads and mote information to help 😀 the world go green 😀. I hv been playing and experimenting with solar since 2015 , and since i live in Lebanon in a farm house the crisis in growing more and more now we are getting 2hrs of electricity per day from the grid so we had to invest more to make our electricity. So i started buying and selling wind turbines and lithium batteries also i sold few inverters and solar chargers ,same digital meter that u post also still selling Anyway i hv a shipment coming waiting for the 16kgand 32kg package of turbine Loving this game. Still learning. Thank you for your video and effort Spreading information and light .
I must say the wind turbine road is new for me. but so far I am loving it. 2 hour of grid is not to good. can I ask do you have good daylight hours to peak your solar. and how do you find the wind production were you are. good to see someone from different parts of the world with solar and wind. thanks for stopping by. 👍
My pleasure brother, as of for now i hv around 1.3kw of solar to a 2.4kw inverter Since it's winter and mostly cloudy ⛅ and windy the 16kg package turbine is producing around 1.2kwph wind speeds 20 to 50 60 klm when it's stormy. Yesterday i received my shipment of 1 16kg and 2 32kg turbine package 📦 Still didn't try cz i might be selling it tomorrow . We can communicate more threw whatsup or make a group there to help each other with information and maybe i could give a good selling price from china factory 🏭. Keep in touch .
Ciao amico ottimo video complimenti per il tuo progetto 👏🔋💡👍
Looking good, did you need to go down the route of a home manager, or did the SMA webconnect do that all. Do you use Bluetooth for the Sunny boys, or ethernet card?? I think you could achieve 85% off grid supply, with the number of panels. A bit more detail on the ATS would be great.
Hi Ivan. went down the data manger route as was unable to find a used web box. I did look at the home manger but the data manger will take 50 inputs. the new sunny boy and sunny islands are Bluetooth and Ethernet. the two old sunny boys have the rs485 card and connected to the data manger . hope I can top more than 85% but it will be fun seeing the numbers. I will try and get some info on the ATS cheers.
@@twistedtube1310 thanks for the reply, awesome, videos, can only dream of having 50 inverters all on one setup would be great to see that production. You could always add more solar in parallel keep the same volts, but increase the watts, the production problem is always in winter, that way you don't need anymore inverters. I would think that appx 12Kw of solar will be more than enough for battery charging and usage in summer, but could be a bit light in winter. I'm getting more questions about grid connection on my channel, with higher self consumption, and there is so much confusion around the ATS, think this would really help. Thanks again Ivan
@@offgriduk2643 Hi again Ivan . Thanks for the input again . 50 is a Dream am thinking of maybe some more solar on the opposite side of the garage to catch later sun . You are definitely right summer solar production is not the problem it’s the winter. My biggest problem is I have a heat pump. And the company that I went with back in 2008 were a new company. They have massively change the way the system works now . So I need to sort this out and get it to be more energy efficient. Need to find a way to dump my excess energy into my water. And other ways . Still trying to work the ATS out need a way to make the contact to trigger on the generator side went power goes down.
Great video, presume the shout out is for my channel. Great to see the info is being of use. Hit a new all time high in the storm today 2415w out of my little wind turbines, should only be capable of 1700w, looking at 10Kwh today. Have a look a Peacefair enegy DC meters, for a basic meter with display they are great for data storage. Did you manage to get your other turbine up?? I'll be doing a video on data integration, you can see on my vids just completing it. Works with SMA home assistant too. Just a thought of my head you could use the load shedding or dump additional load off the SMA inverter relays to control an AC extra load. You can combine these with Sonoff wireless relays to control loads like heaters etc. Good luck and keep up the superb work.
Hi Ivan thanks again for stopping by and commenting . just going through your videos again now. would love to have that type of info. will look into the load shedding . second turbine not up yet. yep shout out for you some top info on your channel. you are getting some good wind generation there. cheers.
Can you supply a link to the turbine you have, and can you supply a link to your website, please? Thanks.
@@barryfoster453 Hello not sure how to do links. But I purchased it from aliexpress B&C energy solutions. And sorry don’t have a web site.
Thanks for your time uploading the Video ! much appreciated !
Hi jon thanks for subscribing. I will definitely keep you updated with my findings.
We've just moved into our new home which is small farm (6 acres). Needles to say, with electricity prices in the UK increasing to stupid levels, the subject of wind turbines is now my new obsession. I'm about to pull the trigger on my first ever purchase. I've found UK based information limited or confusing whereas the guys in the USA have lots of suppliers and a more established market. I'm finding it difficult to source a decent affordable turbine (say sub £10,000) which kicks out a nominal rated 1000-2000w at slow to medium wind speeds. I'd ideally like to go vertical axis if I can locate the right hardware. Can you please link to the turbin kits and this UK off grid chap you mentioned, I don't think it's in the info yet.
Hello Kyle thanks very much for sub. and for watching. yes your right we do seam to have very little info . this is why I am hoping to put videos up with info for other’s. I will try and put some links up to the other channels. 6 acres. what I could do with that . are you putting solar up or have you already done. finding 1000-2000w is tricky. the offgriduk channel as three turbines linked. he got them from Ali express. I also got mine from Ali express also. I am very pleased with it so far but defo need more. he has said that he are going good to my company I bought from was B&C wind generator store £300 delivered. the offgriduk said he’s was from Green e solutions store. hope this helps.

If you could let me know what you find I'm also looking into this !
Good job…you are very patient doing the prep work like you did.
thanks for watching. I do find this type of job very relaxing and enjoyable.
Hi there…just subscribed taking you to 50…interesting Vid thanks…love your set up will watch your other Vids soon…Brian.
Hi Brain. thanks for being number 50. hope you enjoy the video. hope to put more content out soon .
Hi, I've got hydro solar and wind and have been playing about with it for about 4 year now. you said in your video you would like to use the dump load power, this is something I'm playing with now. I bought one of the Sun grid tie inverters that has a battery discharge, what this does is when your battery needs to dump it does so through the inverter so the power gets passed to the grid. you can set the amount of power you want to draw and the battery start and cut off voltages.
Hi John thanks for stopping by. your setup sounds interesting. I will look this up thanks for the info on the inverter.
Welcome to your new obsession :) , the higher , the better , obviously the higher you go more work involved, cheers.
thanks for watching. your not wrong I am well obsessed now. higher is better for sure . let the fun begin.
@@twistedtube1310 yes mate keep us posted :)
hows the turbines going brother?? haven't seen any more videos.
Excellent video and install work. I’m looking forward to your update on using the system with grid connection. Is your plan to use it to move excess power to the grid? I want to use the grid connection only as a backup, similar to what my generator is doing now but not to move power to the grid. So when battery state of charge drops below let’s say 20% I will connect to grid to charge the batteries up to let’s say 40% and then disconnect the grid. I will also have setting that allows back feeding the grid off. I’m curious when you have the back feeding on, how do the sunny islands control the solar inverters (we know that in off grid mode it is by frequency) when the batteries are full? Do you think it will just leave the panels on and send the excess power to the grid or do you think it will disconnect the grid and then let the sunny islands shift frequency up to dial down the sunny boys output?
Hello and thanks for stopping by, we’ll on grid as not worked at the minute for me. I am going to do an update on the setup in the next day or two. so I am setup as off grid at the minute. There is a lot more to the on grid setup than I thought and for us in the uk it gets right complicated. I think I will do a video on this two. it will hopefully work out better and just maybe some other people will be able to shine some light. the new sunny island are two complex but I do hope to get to the bottom of it. sorry I didn’t answers your question but not to good at reading and writing. so I will try a video and hopefully answers questions. thanks again.
@@twistedtube1310 thank you for replying. I look forward to your next video update!
Hi Curionsum, just going to respond to your first comment. as my computer has crashed and my last video has been deleted. and I’ve got 2 weeks straight work. my plan is to use all my power myself and not dump down the grid at all. I also only want to use the grid as back power and set the battery soc. for grid connection. in the Uk we have to have a disconnect switch to isolate from the grid if the grid goes down. at the moment I can get the discount to work but not the ATS. so I lose PE connection and that’s what the sunny boys are looking for. so I need to sort that out. I did find a off grid pdf. on the Sma web sit that spoke about off grid with grid connection if your able to find it hope this helps.
Hi, not to high jack another mans post, i run SMA sunny islands in off grid mode, as so, use frequency shifting for power production at the sunny boy solar inverters. For grid connection, when you have sunny islands, the "feed in" is programmed at the home manger to talk to the sunny boys to ramp production down. If i remember correctly, you can select an amount of power you wish to export. If you are connected to the grid and don't have the original "home manager" 1, that can have 3 separate meters, or an additional SMA meter for measuring "feed in" for excess energy, it will be very hard to use the excess energy. 1 way would be to use the contact programmable relay inside the sunny island to turn extra devices in the home on or off, you can program, SOC of the batteries, or there is a setting for lead acid batteries to trigger the relay for excess voltage. I would go the route of load shedding on the relay based on SOC of the batteries to turn a device on and off at 90%, this mean i can leave the feed in set to off and the home manager. Hope this helps. Ivan
@@twistedtube1310 your absolutely correct, the ATS has to have a physical disconnect to stop back feeding if there is a brown out. Do the Sunny Boys need to be programed for a different PE monitoring when disconnected via ATS???
any more details about your Air to air heat pump ?
Hope to have a video out on the heat pump and system next week.
Hi Familyhomestead just an update I have had a computer crash so I will need to redo video on heat pump so sorry for the delay.
@@twistedtube1310 No problem, looking forward to the update, hope you can recover things :)
Great work and system. Have you installed the additional solar and sunny island?
thanks for stopping by. hope to have a video up this week. had to fit two new sunny island as the one I have was a si8.0 11 and the new ones are .13. the new inverter is on the wall just waiting for a break in the weather to put panels up . thanks for the info I will go check off grid garage out.
@@twistedtube1310 we have -10 versions here in US. I see that the -13 has Ethernet and speed wire much like the sunny boy solar inverters. Look forward to your video

Do you think that raptor paint would be any good in the chassis of a leyland roadrunner to protect against corrosion?
I have spray a lot of chassis in my time . if the chassis is clean and free of lose paint . then you will be in a good place to use Raptor. because it has a hardner in it . it’s a lot better than normal under coat. you can use raptor and then top coat if you won’t to. but I don’t think it is necessary. the raptor will give you good coverage and protection. if I can help with any other things just let me no. cheers and stay safe.
Awesome bro ..keep them coming !
