Keep up the Great Work
Congratulations. I have seen a lot of videos regarding this topic. This one is between the best ones.

I wish my DIY project could end up looking half as good as yours. Just got this on a rec vid for me glad I clicked on it. Really amazing work you did to work out the parts at such a lower cost to get the quality you did. I can just imagine some tweaking on gears how much output this could generate really well done.
plantas nem mexe as folhas so um palhaço pra achar que alguem acredita que tem vento rodando esta merda
Excellent example for a R.E. Project! I’m going to access welding and the metal. Coming from a bike parts perspective , I may go for sealed bearings for the axle hubs.
Neat project. I think that I will make one. I would only add that you align the center shaft better so the wheel bearings don't bind and cause drag. Also suspend it on its side and balance it using screws as weights. I noticed the wobble it had working at the end. This would also cause drag.
Otherwise fabulous project, bravo!
Very good.
You may put a glide cover as well to direct all the spreaded air falling on all leaves together to be directed to fall on one leaf, so it will boost the thrust to one leaf thus increase power output and an electronic voltage regulator (EVR) can give the steady regulated output.
Keep it up.
Id just plug it into a cheap $10 Amazon PWM solar battery charger, and not even bother with any other circuit now days.
Now I have the same dream!
Thanks for open my eyes!
Congratulations 👏👏👏👏
Great design! Also great use of readily available items. Thanks for posting this video.
First, if you want harnest wind, go up. Upper than threes, with support wires. Second, to create energy from generator you almost always need 3000 rpm to 10.000 rpm. So you need transmission ratio 1:100. Also you need bigger wings, like 3 or 5 half barrels, size 200 liter. Branch lenght about 3-5 meter, vertical axle must be 2m longer and you need support wires from up and down fron it to branches. Then you get easily 1,5kW from normal car alternator. And those have regelator build-in. Normal car batteries are ok to storage this energy. Good luck!
Brilliant, out of all the DIY VAWT's this is the simplest and probably the most efficient I've seen on RUclips. There's no need for welding either cos the 'L' shaped brackets could easily be bolted on!. I'm making a v similar VAWT for my balcony, using scrap plastic guttering and a motor from a Hovermower ( aka Flymower) that I got from a skip. I'm making a smaller diameter turbine cos I have to be careful the council will tell me to get rid of it. So it's a 1'' chrome plated pipe that i am attaching metal coat hangers to, to hold the 'blades'. Each 'blade' will have 2 metal coat hangers that are attached to each other top to tail, to make it easier to attach to the pole and the turbine blades. I am planning on running 3 gene's off one VAWT, 1 x 240v/300w motor and 2 x micro gene' from an old broken DVD player and the Dynamo from my pushbike I can no longer ride due to knee problems. So the big gene will hopefully power the lights in my flat( aka apartment) , and the 2 micro genes to charge my phone and run a small water pump to irrigate a vertical garden I plan on building on my balcony, also from guttering.
+Kiyarose3999, its really very interesting when you explain your plan. First of all I'm taking this chance to thank you for your kind words. I hope you have checked my horizontal axis wind turbine video. Its really interesting.. Thanks for watching..🙋
Great work you guys!
Using bicycle wheels is pure genius!
I hope you can do more, helping your neighbors, and make some money on this project, and then getting a MIG welder run with Argon gas.
The welds would be beautiful and better. Keep it up.
Awesome, good job. I'm thinking about buying 2 400 watt vertical lantern style wind turbines. My idea is to mount them about 5 feet apart but one would be exactly 5' above the other one then connect the blades together with 6' half pipes similar to what u used.
I'm so proud to be a part of the human race when I see such brilliant ideas ❤ like this. Some day I pray we will all have free CLEAN energy.
This video is 6 years old

Aromal - you're absolutely brilliant. A worldchanger.
Why thx for the nice video. I like that you re-use existing stuff. Keep going 👍🏻
Truly Excellent!
Just like the one my kids and I made 10 years ago! It was alot of fun!
Very nicely done, very creative and even if your using off camera wind to demonstrate it works that's fine too very artistic as well. I like the use of light materials it makes the generator easy to turn and great use of local resources too the bike wheels are brilliant even using the old tube very ingenious my friend. Keep up the good work and don't let a few stupid skeptics stop you well done

Excellent! It seems the motor has helped to run the wind turbine.
i liked the simplicity of this and most of this stuff could be collected from a recycling place. I do have a question though, you have two bike wheels so is it not possible to duplicate for the other wheel and therefore almost double the output (obviously there would be more resistance) i would be interested to know if that is possible?
That's amazing, looks like a work of art too. Think I make this one rather than the other one with propellers on and wrong tail. Thank you for showing us how to make it. Bless you
I like the simplicity, the use of locally available material, and the overall concept. It could be easily scaled up and with a 48 to 52 volt dynamo, produce enough power to keep a large battery pack charged. Using a 4 12 volt battery pack, and a 48 volt dynamo would potentially allow you 4 different 12 volt accesses or a pair of 24 volt circuits depending on what the local standards are. This unit probably produces low amperage, but it is a start, using what looks like a sewing machine motor. It works, low amperage or high. The drive belt on a higher amperage unit might need an idler pulley to keep from slipping, but for this demo, it was not a priority. Keep on working, if it works, great, if it fails, figure out the problem and go at it again.
There’s a very large one north of San Rafael, California built with 55 gallon barrels. It’s a monster!
Don't buy this ! It is not true!
Energy harnessed from the ground. ( Look it up ) and 10 to 20 of these things in your back yard. No more electric company.
@@therealjimvick That one has been there since I began traveling north on 101 in the 70's. I think it used to serve as an attractant to a cafe or road stop. I haven't noticed it turning in a while. Compared to this one it *is* a monster. 😊
dude, this is probably one of the most amazing human changing projects I've seen on youtube, this could give power to so many people
No,I think this is to smal...😂
@@langfredag2262 you don't have to make the exact dimensions as him, you can make yours larger if you want
…of “you” can (afford to make it bigger). Do you know human garbage abuses the needs (in this case power)?
How much wattage the motor did you use ?
Wind mills are an old technology, fraught with the limitations of wind. You have shown great creative energy with available materials. Keep up the fun work.
Great re purposing of old stuff that would end up in land fill! Love it may try it myself.
Great skill. You can be self reliant.

우연히 자전거바퀴 2개를 구매했는데 이걸 만들어야겠어요. 좋은 내용 감사합니다.
O cara é um GÊNIO! abriu a minha idéia!
Obrigado. mantenha contato.
I like the bike wheel to start with, and the brackets - but since I don't weld, I'd have to reconfigure a few things. Might also go with a heavier PVC pipe, cut lengthwise, and a taller mast to get it higher in the windy air.
I was thinking of drilling a hole and putting a bolt through since I can't weld either.
Anyone noticed there is no wind, the trees arent moving maybe a blower was used to test?
@@joebee6906 did you see from 11:38 ?
I wonder if JB Weld would hold up alright.
Love to see what he does with the rest of the bicycle!
I have just watched your video at midnight 1:00am and just went through the comments and I am surprised to see lot of foreigners rather than Indians appreciating your work and your work seems to be pretty smart and very creative. You seems to be a very good engineer and your renewable energy source work can be widely used across the country and get as much as benefit. Excellent work keep it up.
Diy designs are appreciated by anybody wanting to be off grid and save money. Inspiring work there
Great idea , A Bigger scale with larger fins can produce more power and You can use a bigger Dynamo. Congratulations for a good work ... keep it on, dream more :) ... I subscribe , I like your job , Bless you .
I like your project very much.
+renjinikumari n k, thank you miss.😀
I love watching homemade power projects like this. Combined with other sources, such as solar/PV panels and/or maybe hydro-microturbines, this could provide sustainable electricity for modern residences or businesses. Your video indicated that the maximum power output for a "VAWT" wind turbine like this would be about 12V. I'm curious about this: Is there a way to fabricate a bunch of these turbines, say, three or four, and disperse them around a residential yard and yet plug all of them into a household PV setup so that when the wind blows, the house batteries charge, and when the sun shines, the same batteries also charge? If so, what would that involve?
We can absolutely make use of the wind blows and the sunshine at the same time if it’s intensity is adequate. And by using best dynamos we are significantly increase the turbine output too. Living off grid is my vision! Thanks for your valuable feedback. Love it
I would advise to build 6 as a minimum, to get something meaningful, if your place is windy enough. You would need a charge controller if you plan to charge a battery, and first, to measure how much power you get of your setup.
Making several measurements a day and averaging, so you can see how much your charge controller will have to take.
I would put them as tall as I could, and not only one. These are cheap enough to build half a dozen.
12v is not power. 12v is voltage.
@@rayh592 But even a few amps generated and fed into a battery bank @ 12v can easily be inverted into 120v AC
Those are some pretty impressive welding skills
WELL DONE
I was searching for table fan in the video, appreciate ur honesty for showing in the end.
We in Indonesia appreciation for your create friends..with small blowing of the wind but still turn normally up..
Legal, a ideia é boa! Mas... funciona só com vento ambiente também? ou só com um soprador? Estou perguntando por que aparentemente esta correia que você colocou esta freando muito o seu projeto. Ficaria melhor com engrenagens. Boa sorte.
Nem assisti todo o vídeo, já achei o progeto brilhante 😃😃
A simple but effective design. Nice piece of work fella.

New Physicist - you are a genius! Kudos to you and your family must be very, very proud.
Muy bueno para las fincas en los llanos de Colombia. Desde Villavicencio Colombia me gusta muy buena idea.
Great insight into the build just subscribed and it’s a nice compact turbine I also have built a homemade 650 watts wind turbine, a treadmill motor turbine and a little but powerful ametek 30v turbine and built 2 diy solar panels, be careful in high winds one of my first turbines blew up 😕and now have only 2 wonderful turbines working daily 😊it’s very satisfying watching those things working, keep up the good work buddy 👍
I am building one like, I would like some feedback on your experience/ will put a "blue wind" motor/maybe a maglev magnets/thrust bearing
Isn't the motor going to take damage from the weather in the placement and lack of covering? I like the the cylinder design but if I invest in doing this I'd want to make sure it lasts as long as possible. I have the idea to mount a small turbine on the existing satellite pole that's on the house roof.
Very clever idea, especially when utilizing LED's as light. I think reinforcing the vertical pole would be the weak spot in the system, but I still think it's clever and worth a try. I was not able to hit the instructions using your link.
How dose this work while tree leaves next to it standstill?
Hi all guys. Pour much more water to cool the drill bit. I use a 40 ml syringe, which I empty slowly while drilling. I have drilled hundreds of holes and my drill bits are still sharp...
i drilled few times using big machine and yeah it definitely needs more water
Its good video, light materials that can withstand weather, bearings might need covering to prevent water damage and dynamo can be boxed in. You probably need to make a hole in the ground put rocks and concrete to make it solid and then wire it to car battery with cut out to prevent overcharge, but overall excellent design and dont let bad comments bother you its trial and error, test and improvise is the way to go.love it.
Nice project: I want to connect the 12 volt (two wire) motor to a battery bank.
Can I connect a solar controller between the two? Or, connect direct? What do I need to know about actually using this wind power for something useful. Perhaps another video just on that subject.... Thanks...
The more people who get on board with renewable energy like wind, solar, hydro/tidal and build storage and distribution, the better
I’m confused as to whether or not this is safe because normal turbines (even those similar to this one) have struggled trying to work slow enough in high winds such that it doesn’t spin out and explode. I suppose in theory this would work but on a larger scale it’s hard to say how much this specific method could cost in materials and repairs to the high speed components.
Kaelan the apparatus must be constructed to withstand wind events that exceed historical maxima by a not insignificant amount without failure, but the generator itself generally blows itself up or tops out the capability of the rectifier Well before that.
Also use vertical hydroponics for food&we could truly have a self-sufficient society! If we turned stadiums I to vertical hydroponic gardening spaces we could end world hunger! (But that doesn't fit he narrative...)
Bravissimo.. idea geniale..
Tu pensi che si possa usare un motorino piu' grande ??
Complimenti ancora
Giancarlo Cortese Molto probabilmente sì, ma direi che dovresti installare un motore più grande soltanto se hai intenzione di usarlo in un luogo con tanto vento
If you were to connect this to an empty 12v marine battery, given the voltage output..how long will it take to fill it up? I would suggest connecting it to a large treadmill motor and see what the increase will be in voltage and amps..great work!!
Many critics will comment about your workshop environment, I know that, thank you for a tutorial. I have seen such projects here in Tanzania people are steel barrels in two pieces lengthwise.
Sería mejor usar el centro de circunferencia para generar energía, quizás sea menor la velocidad, pero la fuerza es mayor; Buen video saludos.
The greater the speed of the alternator, the greater the output. Taking advantage of pulley ratios gives this setup a greater output
Hello, I congratulate you for the video and the turbine, what practical use do you give? Because doing all that to feed 4 led seems impractical, a big greeting from uruguay
+roberto grillo, thank you very much for your kind words. I used a less efficient dynamo (its not at least a dynamo, it is a DC motor). You can equip a high efficient dynamo or even an alternator to get more output. I always prefer to make projects with materials in hand. Keep in touch. 🙌
I hope you keep uploading videos like this one of interesting
+roberto grillo, off course I'll. I'm a renewable energy Passionate. Keep in touch. Thanks for support.
@@newphysicist
Hi,
What engine do you use?If we connect the cable coming from the motor directly to the socket, will it work?
you are the one , keep walking straight ahead
Hope someone can answer me. Can this work even in a place where wind minimum velocity is 4 2-4 m/s. I like the concept but can i use motor directly the the spinning wheel under the blades ro reduce friction cause by blades.
the speed is very slow if you direct it to rotor blade
How many amper can we get on this project if we make it with big dynamo?
Excellent idea, the plastic turbine can be made a bit bigger to increase the pressure more stronger. Thanks
Parabéns indiano, você merece. Deus vús abençoe você família e familiares, Amém...

+Mestre do Oraculo, Thank you for your kind words.. 🌸🌸
Mestre do Oraculo amazing
Hello mestre.. M wrking on the same concept but there is bit confusion between what to use either alternator or generator.. My mentor has fixed the alternator but what kind of alternator we need to use.. So that will get the output as 2kw..
@@yogeshgiri2424 yes, that is also I want to know , how to get atleast 2k of power.
so... now you have just one cord added to the light thingy on the down wheel, could u like add another cord to the upper wheel and have 2 mechanisms for that one system? btw pretty awesome construction bro
How are your eyes after stick welding with # 5 shades on?
Funny...the wind turbine is spinning madly but the leaves of the trees aren't even moving.
He says at the end he used a fan to get enough wind.
Nicely done! I wonder how many watts it's capable of at various wind speeds.
Very cool! You could build several of these and do them in series. I don't see why you couldn't set something like this using water instead of wind.
If there’s no wind, I can produce Wind using a big pedestal fan. But I can’t form a water flow.. 😢
You need a small spring loaded pulley on the "slack" side of the belt. This will keep the tension and stop the belt from slipping.
Thank you so much. Now I have an cheap method to get power in my Garden. You should produce this thing and sell it. It is genius. This could help to bring elektricity everywhere...

Good project. Let do that for the climate's DISORDER !!
Awesome! The only wind turbine that spins super fast even when all the trees around it are not moving 😂😂😂
Edit: yes, it's a great build (as in "awesome")👍, and yes I realize the wind is being artificially created. 🌬 I was jesting, kidding, joking, teasing :)
Its explained at the end of the video
maybe you skipped 11:38, this project really is awesome
If a fly wheel is attached with rootter
If a fly wheel is attached with the rooter its power to drive a denmo will be increased.
Watch till the end dude
never stop doing what makes you happy
Do you go rim, rope to generator to create more power/rotation/rpm? Can you not accomplish this just through gears if you just go with a vertical shaft to gears below? I am asking this only to learn. I like the technology and I want to incorporate into wind power on a Sail boat KITE. But it must be stream lined, and very light technology.

jajajjaa pero tu no ves que es mentira,,, no hay viento ,,mira las plantas quietas,,, es el motor el que lo mueve,,,
@@videoveovideoveoo9487 Si, as plantas estão quietas, sem sair do lugar, apenas com movimentos suaves das folhas! Se fossem arrancadas do chão haveria vento suficiente! Sabes qual a diferença e vantagem do gerador eólico de EIXO VERTICAL? Pouco vento necessário...
It is a handmade application with bicycle wheels from the Savonius rotor, invented in 1922.
If you have space where there’s a lot of wind, maybe you’ll get some energy. These types of rotors are very rarely used due to their low performance, in relation to their size.
The advantage is that they do not need guidance and go very well where there are gusty winds that change direction quickly.
All anemometers work like this.
Darrieus rotors are more efficient, but often have trouble starting. Then, they are usually combined on the same vertical axis, the two: A large Dareius and a smaller Savonius starter
It is possible to build them, with two halves of drums of 200 liters. Then, they are welded vertically forming the drawing of an S. That would be a simpler, cheaper and more effective way in terms of the force generated.
Great diy job 👍thanks
Renewable this is very interesting for me

Spot on project, well thought out. thanks for the vid.
Nice work.
Maybe invest in an impact drill.
They are small and powerful.
Saves the wrist and time for twisting.
Imagine the possibilities.
I enjoy tinkering. I dont get to do enough. These videos do make me want to go out and play.
Love whirlygigs that power party lights! But can we appreciate the irony that he used an electric fan to blow the generator to make electricity 😂😂😂
This is a workshop prototype so don't expect it to be a perfect, tested finished production unit. I admire the innovative thinking and methods used to make the unit. Details such as power output (voltage amps) can quite easily be tested and will improve considerably as the ideas are refined. Don't knock the blower. It means that he does not have to wait for the wind before doing tests...
Vertical turbines like this one have quite a significant part of the wind power canceling each other out as the wind hits the backside of each fin. If you build a case to house the turbine, with a curved front to channel the wind into a narrow opening so that the wind hits the front of each fin only, I bet you will at least double the efficiency.
Yes but the problem would be it would work only wind is flowing in direction of slot, then one back fin would be needed to turn the slot in direction of wind 😃
@@georgecarlinn6288 The case doesn't have to be fixed in place. With a little sensor and a motor, it costs very little energy to move the case around following changes in the wind direction.
