- Bench test of the 500 watt wind turbine from VEVOR
---------------------------------
This was sent to me by VEVOR to make some real test.
In this video I am making bench tests for the output power and unload protection.
Usually I am very critical about such generators!
It turned out that this unit is actually very very good!

Let me know if you would like to make another video about outdoor instalation of this unit and further tests in real life ;)
Outdoor installation and testing video also will be interesting.
@@ErCanEverything I am waiting for the warm weather to come and I have interesting idea to complete with it 😉
Yes
It looks like an interesting generator, especially in cloudy weather it will be a second source among the solar panels.
You are totally right 👍👍👍
Attach a big sheet to the existing tail to extend it because it's inadequate, don't waste your time, otherwise it will turn away from the wind. Also do you see the large gap between the stator and magnets? It's terrible, you could reduce it by accurately gluing on pieces of transformer (or motor) steel. Don't make the usual mistake of putting the turbine low, put it high above surrounding houses, trees etc. It would be best to use a mppt controller but you could use a boost converter too. Stock controller is weak and will limit the power.
You are totally right! That`s exactly what I am going to do .
I will wait for a field test my friend!
Yep, it will be interesting 🧐
Field test or not sir@@FixitEasyDIY
The turbine looks very well made and sturdy. However, it would be nice to see how it behaves in real situation, especially in strong wind.
I can't wait to make it ;)
I have a cheap China 500-watt, 5 blade, 12 v that runs as fast as it can and sounded like it was coming apart. It never put anything on the display. Drill test I did not get the start charging rpm. BUT it makes 6 amps at 800 rpm and 29 amps at 1600 rpm with no controller. It will never do 500-watts. Long story short. I plan to do a 2:1 gearing. That might be a little too much. Might be to slow but I put 36 by 6 by 4 blades on it. But as fast as it could go with the 5 blades it did nothing hooked up as it should be. The controller put the brakes on around 6 amps. (DRILL TEST) I did put the 2:1 bike chain on it and the chain came off. Yes it made a little power before the chain came off. We did have an ice buildup that may have made the chain to come off. I took it down and put the chain back on. But it is too thigh and will not turn. Just going to leave it up for a while to see what it does. I'm still testing also. I have low wind here (9 to 10 mph most of the time) just looking for low watts at times. The China 5 blades were cut off 6 inch's and run much faster now. I may put them back on China 500-watt turbine too see what it will do. They are on a 38-volt 12-amp Ameteck motor right now. That so for is my expense with the 500-watt junk. Cut the blades down 4 to 6 inches' it may do ok in a very Windey area. Good luck with yours.
Thanks for this useful information . I will keep that in mind. Thanks again!
Yes Test it please.
I am waiting for the warm weather to come and I will make it
Note that the charge controller is PWM not MPPT. I have that orange controller & there is no way it is MPPT. This video (not mine confirms that) ruclips.net/video/VEvY8-sPTHQ/видео.htmlsi=dRqzomsORVLnvytF . However as a controller, it does work. Other than that, it looks a reasonable build. I liked the fact they hadn't used the thinnest wires possible from the windings to the slip rings.
I just watched it. You are right it doesn't look like MPPT. It is a good controller dough, but i have some concerns about the max current at full speed. This sand filling isn't actually bad, it can transfer heat to the aluminium body. Of course it will accumulate heat, but it will quickly dissipate through the heat sink. I like how they managed to use the transistors to shorten the windings and engage the brake of the blades. I am waiting for the warm weather to come to do some field testing ;)
@@FixitEasyDIY for some reason Vevor aren't selling wind generators in the UK - when I change the country, it disappears (and on AliExpress won't deliver to UK) 🤷♂️
@@jonathanwebb9862 This is strange. I've had mine in Bulgaria and it came from a warehouse in Germany.
@@FixitEasyDIY It's a poor controller and will limit the output power.
Bonjour je souhaiterais un renseignement sur le branchement onduleur éolienne pour les 3 câbles bleu est rouge éolienne y a t il un sens de branchement ou peut importe merci de votre réponse
There is no need to use the cables in a certain order. The converter will do it's job for giving DC output power. This is why they used one colour cables there.
*All practical tests show that small wind turbines hardly generate any electricity! And only at very high costs!*
Because there is hardly any wind close to the ground. It is also extremely gusty, which usually shortens the service life.
Only if you need to be self-sufficient from the power grid, you should have the largest possible wind turbine for the winter on a high mast.
*With solar modules, on the other hand, you can reliably generate green electricity for 25 years at approx. 3-10 cent/kWh!*
*Alle Praxistest zeigen, dass Kleinwindanlagen kaum Strom erzeugen! Und nur zu Kosten sehr deutlich über 1€/kWh!*
Denn bodennah weht kaum Wind. Der zudem extrem böig, was die Lebensdauer der Anlagen meistens extrem verringert.
Nur wer unbedingt autark vom Stromnetz (z.B. Hallig) sein muß, sollte deshalb eine möglichst großes Windrad auf hohem Mast installieren.
*Mit Solaranlagen hingegen erzeugt man zuverlässig über 25 Jahre Strom zu ca. 3-10 Cent/kWh!*
