AMAZING,ROBERT,YOU ARE HERO FOR MILLIONS OF US OUT THERE.SHALOM
Good morning and thanks for another awesome build.
My pleasure and glad you like it mate
From trash to Daisy generator! It's awesome thanks! 👏
I have already run the tests - of course - it also works quite well!
Perhaps twist the spoon nearer the hub, the spoon handles will also act as a blade and catch the wind making it more efficient in lower wind speeds.
true enough but you might risk softening the glue - maybe twisting them before glueing up?
@@ThinkingandTinkering good idea, one could use a jig/mold to hit that 27°angle you mentioned.
Nice touch making the thing blue and yellow ;)
oh yeah - never thought about it until just right now! I actually got the colour from the colour wheel this combination is described as vibrant - but I see what mean!
@@ThinkingandTinkering A lucky coincidence haha
A beautiful thing indeed!!
Your joy, however, when you construct these "things" is an even more beautiful thing!!😁😁
lol - cheers mate - and what is not to be joyful at! lol
I completely agree!!!
@@ThinkingandTinkering 🤣🤣
@@annepeterson1450 👍😁
Looking forward to see it in practice :)
done it - video tomorrow
Looks cool, looking forward to seeing the output
already done the video mate - it goes up tomorrow
Good job mate
Blue daisies in every garden 💙
yep lol
Simple and clever I love it.
lol - cheers mate
Free energy from old teaspoons ...... has a ring to it!
it does indeed
Awesome !! you nailed it with those spoon devices you're making :)
Thank you! Cheers!
how very British of you to make something utilizing tea making equipment :D
lol - indeed it was lol
I can’t help it! When I watch Robert Murrey-Smith videos are… It just slips out Over and over:, “I love that guy!”
I don’t know what it is… The boyish enthusiasm… The truckloads of creativity and knowledge he somehow fits in that brain of his… Or just his kindness to share everything he comes up with - with the rest of the world.
This man is an international treasure… And you can’t convince me otherwise!
I'd love to have a go building one of these for my shed, any simple ideas for power storage/distribution? Only simple lighting required
Interesting as usual the generation part will be worth watching. By the way found a new way to remove the secondary of a microwave transformer, chisel does it neat and quick
Great tip!
Love it!
Considering the 30 angle preference of these they would probably work great to catch the wind whipping round the corner of a building or a roof.
oh - that's a good thought
“Daisy “ is a great idea. Perhaps some old Venetian aluminium blind blades would be adequate for a larger project. As they can be twisted, a coarse angle near the hub reducing down to 27 degrees pitch at the tip. To hold the pitch in place could be 3 rings (hub,middle and outer) with a slot for each blade, set at the fixed angle for the station point on each blade. I think I might just give it a try!
that was awesome, it's like art imitating nature but practical as well LOL.
lol - absolutely - cheers
Like the colors.
cheers mate
I think this is one of the prittiest builds you have done, and it work well to
it is cute lol
Love it!
awesome - cheers mate
Something you would quite Ike a few of in your garden trickling a few amps in a day. A tall pole or timber post with a few up it in a single row could look nice a generate a bit together.
it would look nice and be saleable and use up plastic spoon!
@@ThinkingandTinkering the tnt power post is born. If I bring it to market 1st, I'll send you your percentage.😉
Where did you get the spoons from? it's a great idea. It would be great to 3d print something like this.
we get alot of rain in England, would be interesting to see how much flow/pressure you get on an average week/roof top to power a small water turbine inline with a gutter down pipe.
there is an awesome experiment for you to perform and share mate - go for it
LOVE YOUR CHANNEL!
What if you made a water wheel that incorporated:
* piezoelectric ceramic on the paddle/spoons AND aluminum strips to collect the moving rain water charge like in your other videos, both types connected by conductive ink to add more usable electricity to what the wheel itself is producing? Theoretically that should work to harvest even more energy correct?
I would think so - certainly an interesting idea
More coils would be good as there is room to add three more of the same size but you probably didn't have those on hand and would want to get the idea up and running first anyway. Cheers Robert.
I think more coils will be to strong for the surface area the spoons are catching
lol - you are quite right mate - that is exactly what happened lol - I put more on the test model
Metal spoons would be cool too. 😁
for sure
Other than this: Great video! As always, cheers!
Since you're doing a supplement, I happened to notice, the spoon next to or possibly 2 away from the junction line of the cone's continuation is a bit more angled than the rest of them.
Ideas for "modding" the setup as a part of the next installment, or now that they're bent, de-cone the front and check your angles by flipping it over and rebending them to make sure their new contact point is all the same. I know a reheat of the material may cause adverse effects but I just wanted to offer.
And I know, armchair Science journal member here, but I think creating the series continuity of, what if there's a problem, could benefit us novices.
Update: I was completely wrong and the rewatch proved it, you're good.
However, given the color scheme,
💙💛
I move for this to be renamed the Sunflower wind generator!
like it mate - the sunflower - has a nice ring
Maybe shaving the back edge of the handle with a belt sander would provide slightly more precise spoons👍
Wondering if a rose (turbine) in the middle of the daisy instead of a cone, and vertical axis might also be of use.
I enjoy all your videos mate, take care and keep them comming!
Glad you like them!
Looks like it could do with a big plastic salad bowl to push the wind into the spoons.
Have you thought of using more than one coil on the back, and wired into same circuit?
That's very cute. I'm wondering at what gear ratio it would be most efficient?
I don't know - clearly gluing the magnets directly to the back means it is 1:1 - but that may well not be the best as this kind of turbine is well known for low speed but high torque
Love this flower power
it is cool even though I say so myself
Fun stuff
I have had a chance to check the output - it outputs about the same as any other turbine
calvingreene90... yes this could give a large improvement. Also, if the cone was a solid piece, holes could be drilled around the circumference allowing spoons to be inserted at varying pitch (would require spoon handles to be glued into a tube first - this needs to be a snug fit in the drillings to prevent unwanted rotation).
nice development
real flower power 😄🌼🌺🌸
been looking for that since the 60s
Now this one might really cause a stir, sorry for the pun or is it a spoonerism ?
lol - oh enjoyed it whichever it was lol
The spoon handles fit perfectly together over 360 degrees, with no gap ?
Got some spoons 😢 dam expensive couldn’t find them on wish or AliExpress
🌻
Would having the bowls of the spoons closer to the hub improve the efficiency?
I don't know - try it - I only put them there because it was easy to glue them straight on without having to cut anything
Being longer gives the daisy generator more kinetic torque and a flywheel effect. Better for low winds
Now cut the handles off spoons and glue the thin end to the circles.
that seems to be work for no real reason mate - what's your thinking?
Now if you could only make wind really cheap.
lol :)
lol
Lol, that's fantastic.
lol - cheers mate
Hey Doc, I have a question: isn't one of the assumptions of the Betz's Law to work with non-compressible fluids?
Betz law is based on Newtonian fluids mate - which is a fluid in which the viscous stresses arising from its flow are at every point linearly correlated to the local strain rate - the rate of change of its deformation over time. Stresses are proportional to the rate of change of the fluid's velocity vector.
@@ThinkingandTinkering Thank you!
Cool
cheers mate
Would the rose cone help or hinder? Have a wonderful day!
help mate - ice one have a good one yourself
Was kinda my thoughts also.. like minds ....be in peace, God speed
so going to do this
go for it mate
Daisy, Daisy, give me your power do,
I'm square wavy all from the spin of you,
It won't be a lot of voltage
I need spoons to eat my pottage
But they'll look fleet, stuck to a sheet
of plastic with super glue.
lol - arrrgh an ear worm lol
Can you combine the waterpreasure with the wind you think? I mean on a not so windy day still get some generation and when its windy even get more generation?
Btw, my first time ever commenting on YT :) Your videos always gets me intrigued!
never thought about it - until now - I like the way you are thinking there mate - clever clever clever - I am going to try that
Waiting patiently for you to make a video where someone who is not an electrician or knows electronical jargen can follow you to actually make something from start to finish. I love your videos. Got hooked on them but they are becoming too much homework I have to Google everything you say practically and make notes. Cause I don't or did not do electronics for dummies at school. So please do more close ups and layman's terms as far as possible 👍💪
Nice one can adapt with mini worm gear engine hook generators make 240v AC unit
Cool idea
🙏👍💖
cheers mate
Hot damn!
lol
Might make many a garden much nicer! A light sensor or timer switch, small battery and a simple charger you might power a outdoor light at least for the important hours 19:00-23:00
I think you would get more power than that out of it at times. There are off the shelf 18650 chargers and cheap regulators (to power the charger) that would cost less than £5 total.
for sure !
Plastic knifes too
I would think that would work
Couldn't one use something that we already have on our house? The "whirlybirds" on our roofs? Put that "homemade" motor underneath or inside, and voila! Power to charge a standby battery.
yeah go for it
Just looking at your spoons, they are oriented so they act like the blades of a pelton wheel, which may reduce efficiency, as the air being thrown out by a spoon will negatively affect the air and the spoon behind it. I wonder what would happen if you were to place the spoons the other way round, so they presented an airfoil face to the wind. You would then get laminar flow round the spoon, so probably some "lift" and the air leaving the blade wouldn't impinge upon the blade behind it....just my 2p worth...
I made same wind mill using two cd discs glue spoons on one disc use centrre piece to put in hole of disk then as the other and glue to balance the spoons u use plastic milk bottle a pencil and a nice pen pencil goes onto own glue put hole in tip of milk bottle that's the balance when finished the windmill turns and spins I'm the only one that's made this idea when made its the size of a big dinner plate. I could use that as a generater
Flower power hohoho 😂
Hells ya. When do you get a chance to sleep? ;)
once a month If I need to or not mate lol
Do they come in Pink ?
lol - they do!
If they are tea spoons you mus have some big mugs ,?
15 mL mate
@@ThinkingandTinkering well done
Whatever happened to the one you made for £100 with all those microwave transformers
disassembled ages ago for parts
Your latest binge of everyday unassuming items being converted into electric generation, be it is small or as large as it happens to be, just shows that at no point no time should anybody be totally bereft of Hope of charging the phone or running an LED for lights to see it a little bit at night, I'm thinking like in the aftermath of a hurricane little devil copper wire salvage out of a building and a magnet off of speaker and some spoons and you can have power for your phone
I agree mate - there is always hope
This is cute and all. But You go from generation to DC conversion to DC storage . Two a DC to AC converter. 2 AC power level. At that point it becomes useful. This takes a minimum of 12 volts. You have the knowledge to do all of this. Even make your own batteries. And instead you're building daisies that barely light LEDs. How about you build your own batteries your own converters your own generator and power a house bulb do something practical. Not a criticism. I love what you do.
I don't take it as a criticism mate - but there are several levels to an answer - yes I can do it but how do you learn to do it if you have never done it before? this is a youtube channel and a large part of that is videos that inform or entertain - if you don't do that videos don't get watched and the channel ceases to exist - you are just plain wrong about the amount of power needed to be useful - you are using a western view - in many countries 100w per day - yes watts per day - is the level of consumption and a minimum of 1.5 volts is needed. I don't see myself as being here to provide you with ready made solutions - I see myself as presenting ideas for you to develop not copy. Without being rude - perhaps you could put some work in instead of waiting to take something out?
Well said the reason I'm subscribed to this channel is because it teaches me fundamentals and doesnt stretch every project out of my accessible means. I can implement these ideas in future projects and also throw my own perspective in for someone to do the same
