Α Step-By-Step Video Guide on “How to Build a Small Wind Turbine”

This video describes the manufacturing process of a 2.4m rotor diameter small wind turbine as described in Hugh Piggott’s ‘Wind Turbine Recipe Book’, including manufacturing details for the wooden blades and hub, the generator stator and coils, the generator rotor and magnets, the generator metal support frame, and the wind turbine tail boom and vane.

Incredible work. This is a fantastic, concise, and rich end-to-end walkthrough!

[@emiliorp786]

Gran trabajo 👌

[@markrumrey790]

Great Teamwork!

[@kbhhandicrafts6693]

Thanks for sharing, I hope you are showing the circuit diagram as well to solve the power issues for any people that are living far from electrically.

[@cased3424]

awesome

[@smokysmoka]

why dont use neodimium magnet? are more and more powerful

[@TheWickerShireProject]

Thinking the magnets used was what's was on hand at the time or available to them.

[@smartrue_ece_ntua]

The magnets used in this case are Neodymium, but there are many good reasons for using Ferrite magnets as well.

[@joule-trix]

Absolutely amazing video!!! if you don't mind me asking the wattage this turbine you built can produce? Have a great day!

[@smartrue_ece_ntua]

Rated power is 700 W at a rated wind speed of 10 m/s
