Fisher & Paykel Smart Drive Wind Generator CHEAP REAL RESULTS

- Here is a quick video of my Fisher and Paykel Smart Drive Wind Generator. The project was done with a few aims:
1. It has to charge a 12V battery and be portable.
2. I want to find the REAL power output as there are some articles claiming quite impressive power (500W+ which I found to be not possible).
3. Do it on the cheap. Basically its a prototype for investigation into the possibilities of using the F&P motor.

Hi tim, you said you had problems trying to start the 3 bladed design at low wind speeds. If you try to use a bigger diameter pvc pipe to cut the wings out of, the schape is better optimized for drag, and will have much less difficulty starting in low winds.
Isn't the white plastic end part supposed to be non rotating so that way you get more power?
I'm confused.
Awesome that is looking great!
They can generate upwards of 200-300W, but this requires a higher rewiring ratio (to lower voltage) and a lot more rotor speed (probably over 300RPM). This is typically difficult for larger turbines as the their tip speed limits the RPM, but could be done through step up gearing, although it just adds complexity to the build in my opinion.
I've once fully rewired a stator with 8 or 16 strands in parallel, run at 1000RPM via a 2 stroke engine, and the amount of current at 32V must've been at least 30A as it blew my 3 phase rectifier (supposedly rated at 50A).
Cheers
Hi Stefan, is there a way you can check the ratings of 3 Phase rectifiers ? Also how’s you’re turbine coming along?
@@hemiandreassend3848 Some are advertised with way more current than they can handle. I've found the potted 3 phase bridge rectifiers without a heat sink can work with less than 5A getting fairly warm, above that you will need a heat sink to dissipate the heat (small voltage drop and power consumed by the diodes).
I've tested the turbine with a single stator in low winds with 2-3A peak at 10-30V. I'm planning to get the second stator wired in 7x2C, I'm not sure how well this will perform at low RPM though.
Hi Tim, nice work with the turbine, just wanted to know if it’s still in operation and how’s it going?
Yeah still working fine but i only use it sporadically which was always the intention. If i was to leave it set up permanently the plywood hub & m4 mounting bolts to the blades would probably be to weak.
TimDoesStuff ok no worries mate. If you don’t mind could i ask what part of Australia do you live in? Also where you got the 3 phase rectifier from and the bearing blocks and the size of a them? Most parts i’ve seen come from USA or CHINA.
Yeah im in South Aus, i saw a smart drive washing machine with failed pump advertised as a giveaway the other week, can get them cheap here. I got the rectifier of ebay, model SQL150A. The bearings off ebay too, just the cheap chinese ones, 25mm internal diameter. Other people have cut down the wash tub and used D-clamps with the tub bearings - i'd do that next time.
TimDoesStuff Awesome mate i’m on the Goldcoast. I’m new to wind and solar so still a beginner, i put a add on Gumtree for old or broken washing machines little did i know they had to be Fisher and Paykel or LG so i ended with a few other brands. I eventually got about 5 Fisher & Paykel and 2 LG. I’m trying to get my head around wind and solar because i’m planning on moving back to the bush in NZ in 2022. I find it hard to get most parts from Australia. Have you seen the American guy John Daniels on youtube? I’ve learnt a bit from him well that’s what i think any way lol
Please let me know the average RPM, Sir
Thank you
Hi Tim, im in the uk so plenty of wind here, 😁 you have given me massive inspiration to carry out a similar build, I noticed you are using a metal shaft with a spline on the end, where did you locate it from? Was it a car?
Many thanks and keep up the great work 👍
Hi - yes the shaft is a part of the washing machine and is splined on both ends. One end fits the magnetic rotor, the other end fits a hub that bolts onto the wash tub (now my blade assembly). Cheers mate.
Is it legal in UK to have generators in city area? I've heard that they need atleast a building permission or something like that. From Finland myself.
@@Teknopottu come on you are talking the UK, of course you have to ask permission and the answer is NO.
@@colingathercole391 Okay, thanks for lightening that up.
@@timdoesstuff3621 hi not teaching you how to suck eggs but you missed a trick.........why not mount your blades directly to the hub ? Only 1 bearing required = less friction, more speed.
Great work, I do not understand why everyone lowers the voltage, which is dead opposite to the commercial turbine practice, maybe you have the answer ?
Good job
pretty interesting
Jos... 👍👍👍
Good bravo 👍👍👍🔔🤝☝👈💯
Thank you sir
Hi everyone l m razack technician in parakou in benin l went you help to have alternator l went his home.
You need to add a gear to the shaft so it's not directly spinning the motor. You need to redesign so you have a large gear on the blade shaft, which is connected to a small gear on the motor shaft. This should lead to many more spins of the motor for each turn of the blade leading to more energy.
But I'm wondering how it would go especially if you had multiple motors with a 'ridgeblade' set up on top of a house. They reckon they get 3x the speed of a normal wind turbine.

BEST COMMENT AS ABOVE gear ratios, of course, if you increase speed of motor shaft via a pully and belt then almost tripple voltage maybe 3:1 would make 300w?
Yes gearing certainly an option but adds complexity too. Worth investigating though for sure.
The gearbox requires much more torque from the propeller, the best direct drive for this size.
