you have worked really hard today i can tell. this is the best television ever watching these videos. i now own the ista-breeze i500 and i am working on my camper installation for it. you have inspired so many watchers/followers with your work.
Por experiencia aprendí que el tamaño de las aspas es sumamente importante, sin carga alguna puede que gire, pero al generarle carga se bloqueará el rotor causando resistencia. No habrá suficiente brisa que saque a esas aspas de su punto muerto. En conclusión monta unas aspas que generen bastante torque
I just got my motor in the post and must say this thing is massive but I can't see any way to get the thing perfectly centred ?whenever you move it from one side it just gets sucked straight on to the magnets the other side, good luck with this , I will keep an eye out for your next video, another thing do you think it matters which wire is connected to each TAB of the rectifier, cheers
If you ordered just the motor assembly I'm not sure the best way to go about securing it...I pull mine out of washing machines and I've learned that the best possible thing to do is to pull the entire bearing assembly and mount off the drum. It's a lot of work but it eliminates any issues in getting it mounted and centered properly. It does NOT matter which wire goes to which of terminal on the AC side of the rectifier....they are all parallel and the same. Good luck! Make sure to share it if you put any videos together!
So far it's seen rain and hail and ice and snow and some pretty extreme freezing weather without damage...part of my test here is seeing what I can put it through.
curious, (while i presume this is in the experimental stage) would the additional area of the generator cause any problems with the tail that provides wind direction for the rotors. im only saying this as the aerodynamics has been modified. i cant wait for the next video.
I'm pretty sure in high wind it's going to struggle between trying to be an upwind and downwind setup at the same time...but I can always bolt a boom and rudder to the the tail if it's a problem. I think getting bigger blades on it is going to be biggest obstacle.
@@ToysforWatts I've always fancied trying to make a blade assembly like they used to have for the machines that pumped water in the olden days, I wonder if something like this would work, could you take the blades off your Ista and try them on this thing?? cheers !!
I actually use to work for The American West Windmill Company...that's almost exclusively what I worked with. Those kinds of windmill wheels are very, VERY heavy and even on the small ones you're looking at a pretty low RPM cap. They are more for transferring large amounts of power to a shaft...I toyed with trying to figure out how to get one to drive a suitable stator but was never able to really get anything worked out.
Toys for Watts hi thank for getting back to me, you used blue things to connect the wires together and screwed them ? Something I’ve not seen before probably cannot get them here in the uk? But they looked quick and simple
I'm trying to go back through the videos to find blue ones and am coming up empty, but I think you're talking about "wire nuts". I have had conversations with others a few times about them and it seems they are not a common thing in Europe. They are easy in their application, but also quite easy to do incorrectly. They are meant to be used to insulate twist connections...they do have a metal "coil" inside that helps hold the wires together, but their primary purpose is insulation. I use them because they're fast, but they're a "short cut" in my application. www.amazon.com/MCIGICM-Electrical-connectors-Assortment-Connection/dp/B07Z3KZKP2/ref=asc_df_B07Z3KZKP2/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=385363093575&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=17345038539674256539&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9028551&hvtargid=pla-874445763044&psc=1&tag=&ref=&adgrpid=80249223802&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvadid=385363093575&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=17345038539674256539&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9028551&hvtargid=pla-874445763044
Toys for Watts thanks for getting back to me sorry I’m not clear about what I’m asking, but yes wire nuts are what I’m on about 👍🏻 and no there not something I’ve seen before in the uk Eu? Looking forward to see how your new turbine performs 🙂

I like using my white or blue tape because If I see another color it means someone messed around my area.
I had that same problem with my modified turbine. Couldn't pick it up onto it's mount.
Makes for a tense climb :D
Does Fisher and Paykel produce more Watts than LG?

Hello! The engine is partially uncovered. Don't you think there will be problems when it rains?

I think you will need bigger blades as this motor is a lot bigger and beefier than the Chinese one.
I am certainly going to need something a little fatter and more aggressive.
@@ToysforWatts I got some 1.4m ones from China a few years ago that have done a job for me , seem to be hard to get now, I brought from alibaba.
Well done mate good effort! Can I ask what the blue connectors are called you use to join the wires!
Thanks! Where did you see blue connectors? I'd love to help I just can't remember using any blue connectors

@@jasdavsim I think they're from France.
Hey look home making washing machin windmill
Well, that was ONE too many stupid trios for me to take....and Click, UNSUBSCRIBE. Wow.
