[@Vidyut_Gore]

This is very close to the design I'm planning. Magnetic levitation included. I have breezy balconies and I was planning to mount several of these all along their top, hoping to generate something meaningful from the sheer number of them. My design has vertically mounted blades to grab more air, but similar collapsing blade design and magnets on the edges. A test prototype with cardboard showed that it also deals well with changes in wind direction, since it is basically designed to work in one direction only. Now I'm wondering if this is simpler to construct (since I'll also be making several and would like them to look more decorative (mine looks a touch utilitarian and more obviously "gadget that does work"). This could be easily camouflaged as a decorative element. But mine have more blade area, so perhaps for putting to use, that may be helpful for generating efficiency. More ideas, more testing...

[@nancyallen8497]

When I was a kid there was a toy set called tinker toys consisting of wooden dowels and different shaped blocks of wood and cylinders of wood and discs of wood with holes that you could connect with the wooden dowels very similar to what you have developed for your turbIne

[@paddy2661]

Last design is by fare the best with (curved feathers), yes you don't want to capture to much air underneath so the flat feathers don't lift , So a thought a ROUNDED RING on top of feather outer ring about a inch gap (high) looking side on and only a inch wide from top view , plus have it curved in on a angle outer top edge higher than inner ring height lower to force air flow to flick up feathers. Pretty much like the double blade wind turbine blade 2 directions to create a better output. Atleast the ring ontop won't create any lift for the down feathers , but if curved angle is to great may create lift of top half of mag bearing then separating magnets from coils. Love it Rob cheers thankyou

[@christopherd.winnan8701]

@patrickskahill2661 - I like the analogy of curved feathers, which is more what I am trying to do with fabric. Any suggestions on how I might easily adapt your improvements to my sail rigging design.

[@johnbarry8185]

Hey Rob, you should put a 'wall' at the large end of your "feather", so that the wind has no where to go, without turning the turbine. As it is, you have wind moving under the end of the feather, when it is lifted up, but a piece, at 90 degrees, would keep that wind from being wasted. That might give you a little better wind capture, and as such, more torque and speed. Keep up the good work.

[@christopherd.winnan8701]

@johnbarry8185 - This improvement to the feather is an excellent idea. I wonder if you would be able to help me incorporate it into my own version of this set-up. Like an idiot, I gave my 3D printer away, and so I am using recycled materials. My wheel is thin umbrella steel, and my flaps are sewn para cloth with fishing line rigging. How would suggest I best incorporate your innovation into my rigging design. I am also hoping to incorporate the maglev principle, although rather than skater bearings, I am using an old optical drive bearing which can handle maybe 500rpm, but maybe later try an old hard drive hub which I have read can handle 15k for a alternative design. The serpentine coil is great for now as it is easy to make, but in the future I hope that we will see a proliferation of PSB stator design. Companies like PCBway should be able to not out all kinds of interesting and exotic variations as cheap as chips. At the moment, the design specification requirements are overly arduous but ChatGPT is helping through the worst of it. What do you need to know about the specs of my current rigged sail-vane?

[@johnbarry8185]

Sorry I haven't replied until now. My use of Tinkercad and the other design platform are horrendous. I was much better, years ago, with a different program, but I can't even remember what that program was. With that being said, you could probably just sew a triangle piece of parachute material on the back side of the 'wing'. It should just fold down, as it moves out of the wind capture area. I tried printing this, but my printer is too small. Good luck, with your build.@@christopherd.winnan8701

[@franklyanogre00000]

Sewing machines have a bobbin thread loader on them to make coils of thread to go on the bottom of the stitch. Havr you thought of using one of those?

[@fransmurati2370]

What a beautiful design

[@johnbarry8185]

Hey Rob, I haven't been able to pick up any thrust bearings, but I have found that if you place a 10 mm ball bearing below the rod, it is much like a thrust bearing.

If you just printed a frame of the feather you could glue a crisp bag plastic layer on to it, like a sail and use it in lower winds. Or even controlled winds

[@penrithomas115]

Fence post power plant brilliant

[@lafamillecarrington]

Reminds me of something I saw many years ago called a Wiseman turbine. That had sails instead of your feathers. There doesn't seem to be much about that design on KZbin!

[@RandomAxeOfKindness]

I still think you should put the flat turbine with an axial generator and then stack the turbines so you had six or even ten on one axle. Instead of a wind wall, you'd have a wind column, and the torque would (presumably) go up with each added plate.

[@MilkyToucan]

what would the benefit be over a windwall? I thought the pancake design is useful for low heigh large area requirements

[@kadmow]

- OR (not a message to Rob but thought provoking to OP) making a flapping shutter VAWT "wind wall" - results in lower material mass (flat long blades are easily made from any sheet product) for more effective material use ($$$) - each alternate unit can be made to counterrotate - for increased energy output... (NB, without a control system or nozzle, drag-only devices have tipspeed limited to 1 wind.)

[@ThomasAndersonbsf]

on the CD and DVD drives, there are 3 neodymium magnets you are missing out on, two tiny bar magnets *these are on the ring of wire that one of the optics are floating on and are controlled by that wire and magnet arrangement, and there is a folded piece of steel that the magnets are stuck to on either side,) the other is a ring magnet that is in either the top spinner or the little disc you push the CD/DVD onto, with the other side having a piece of steel ring so it uses magnetic power to clamp the two together to hold the disc in when spinning. That magnet can be used with a screw or something to make changing them on a design easier too, by running the screw through the core of the magnet's hole to hold it down :)

[@ThomasAndersonbsf]

by the way I LOVE that flap wind generator, it is so organic looking when moving. :) I bet spray painting it with some stencils to give it a camouflage texture would make it hard to see in a tree to blend in XD

[@whatthefunction9140]

Ive been thinking about a windmill wall design where the rotors work like a helecopter swashplate

[@recumbentrocks2929]

Fascinating stuff Rob. Loved the levitating magnet and wonder how much that reduces the resistance compared to the second bearing.

[@bearnaff9387]

If you revisit this idea in the future, consider trying out a 3D-printed die for forming your feathers out of drink cans. Aluminum is less likely to break down from UV exposure over time. The feathers are also likely to be lighter than the equivalent in PLA or whatever filament you're using. Finally, the die would probably print up faster than all of those feathers. If not for a single generator, then definitely for multiple.

[@RyanLebeck-td5ft]

What about making a serpentine coil for you flywheel generator? How would that adjust the output?

[@marwansallouta2101]

Great idea. Thank you. I suggest to replace the blades with V-shape buckets capable to fold and unfold so, they will face the wind with opened (mouth >) to gain the most drag force with the wind direction, and to fold (=) to minimize the wind resistance when opposing the wind direction.

[@christopherd.winnan8701]

@@thekaxmax Did either of you also think that a copy of the top part could easily be added on the bottom when in situ, potentially doubling the capture? Is that a reasonable assumption. After all, big sailing ships seem to share a similar chiral symmetry and they too are optimised for wind capture.

[@christopherd.winnan8701]

@@thekaxmax I am capturing indoor flows, so storm damage is not a problem for me. My vanes were 50p and the magnets were free, so my costs were not great in the first place. Were you thinking of a set up similar to the globe vane generator that was showcased here a few weeks ago?

[@nathandean1687]

why not use the coils from the micro wave turn motors.

[@koningbolo4700]

17:07 looking at the shape of the feather it may be too heavy above the pivot line... It could probably do with more balance, meaning the feather needs possibly to be either weight below the pivot line or be mounted in such a way more of the feathers mass is below the pivot line. This would result in the wind being able to "pick up" the feather more easily, taking advantage of the larger surface area... The weighing down can be done with the magnets which is a bonus because the magnets move up or down depending on them being on a feather which is driven by the wind. magnets on feathers who are "passive" are not near a coil and can't be subject to electrical drag (or cogging)

[@jamest.5001]

6:19 what if the 'feathers' had a counter part? A topside feather. That uses the bottom side feather to push it up enough. For the wind to grab pulling it up. I wonder if a single 1/4"steel inside a nylon tube with a thin foam with a layer of fiberglass or carbon fiber, making a feather, roughly 48"-60" long with with a little lever to lift the feather in front, just enough for the wind to set it spinning faster the feather being 18"- 30" wide+/- a bit, maybe 36" wide for a bit, then narrow to about 2" roughly 24-36" from the center, use steam bent lumber to form a few large bows, assembled to make a circle use a motor to spin it on a bearing using a sharp chisel to trim it into a more perfect circle. Then use a block of wood with a little groove with a piece of 2" long 1/4" ID copper or aluminum tubing to reinforce the wood. While also acting as a beating the blocks being screwed to the top and bottom of the ring, it being assembled much like a wagon wheel with long dowels as spokes. To a center ring with a 24-36" diameter sheet of plywood on both sides with a wood block in the center. With bearings bolted to the the top and bottom. Mounted to a roughly 25-40 mm dowel with magnets on the perimeter of the center plywood disc. About 50mm x 3mm N52's, with about a 1"/ 25mm. Bundle of copper serpent coil snaking it's way around possibly producing 400v @ 45-60rpm , and attempt to use a transformer to drop the voltage in favor of current, using a microwave transformer rewound, probably two transformers, drop the voltage to under 100vac, then rectified, and look into building a DC to DC capable of 3kw with a cc cv output, and a dump load pre rectifier to heat water using two 48v heating element, and possibly 2 more in a heat exchanger , a 2.5" pipe with 1" npt threads in the sides, with caps on the ends to allow elements to fit, on the input of the heater tank, the exchanger would normally have a coil of 1/2" copper inside going end to end, with a roughly 24" coil 2"-2.25" O.D., with the end running through thr center, then pass through the bulkhead on each end, made from stainless and copper, wrapped in insulation, and placed inside a foam box. Usually used with a wood stove and the copper used with a coil in/on the stove, the exchanger wall mounted designed for natural circulation of the water heating the water inside the 2.5" tank, with a safety to keep pressure under half the burst pressure of the tubing, probably below 25% of it. And the water being 300°+/-, it should heat water entering fairly well. Especially if two are used, in series or parallel, especially with a small water pump circulating the hot water, at 2-5 gpm build a stainless and brass pump to handle the heat a mini car water pump, using a 6v motor, 12-24v possibly a 36-60 v motor and 120/240v motor, having options is cool for off-grid using the exchanger as a tank is a good idea, though 2"x24" doesn't hold much, however the heating coil being 250°-350°F helps it recover fast, then dump the heat into a radiator heating the air, I hope to make a couple complete systems , then only the parts to make a heat exchanger, and the safety devices to also make a electric water heater booster by heating the inlet water to about 100°f

[@Tabascosause]

I am very new to technology, but if our earth is on rotation, and water is stagnant, forced to move similar to a bowl of water rotating. Couldn't we develop something to go underground and catch the current of water to produce energy? Because if water is always moving. (Because of earth's movement) We could connect that to something above ground? Like a tunnel that allows water through and back out forever because of using earth's movement as power? Is there a way to calculate the power lightening produces to create a rod to collect that power and be distributed. Wouldnt power much, but we could store that energy to use later. I apologize if this doesn't make sense. I just turned 12 so its hard to articulate myself. Not very educated, I just think a lot. Edit: can we also use wind produced by cars in traffic with a flat wind turbine? I will study Geometry and Mathematics today. My school hasn't taught me Geometry yet so I feel I am missing a lot of information

[@serenacula3256]

The problem is that the water is also moving with the earth, as are we. So from our perspective on the surface, there is no movement.

[@ThomasAndersonbsf]

on the wind mill at (2:45) it looks like the side of the angle the flap is on is what determines what direction you get out of it since you are basically making a corner, but then shifting the two sides of the corner off set from each other, (ie if instead of like this from right to left ( / then this \) you instead switched to(\ then this /) *have to imagine that \ or/ is half of 90º ie 45º) then you would get it rotating the opposite direction because of which side is closer to flipping up means the other side if pushed on has to go a further distance to flip up and becomes the flap that catches the wind) Not positive as I have not finished watching it all yet, also on wood have you guys hit up cabinet making shops for scrap? I have been getting some awesome stuff for free from a local place to me here, all sorts of hardwood ect just all of it is at around 3 inches wide by 1 inch and under, so its not 2x4(inches) or 4x4s or anything but its all cabinet grade finish on most sides.

can u try a coil made of 1 mm wire that has 24 layers of 10 turns in parallel. it seams as if no one can comprehend that multiple coils in parallel on the same core, with a M1 for mutual inductance will not only give more current, but will generate voltages that are much higher for the same coil in parallel versus the same number of turns in series. also, add a second parallel set of coils on the outs of the 24 layers of ten turns, and wind it with 2 1mm wires in parallel, and keep each layer only 10 turns total, while doing 10 layers. that will give a massive voltage when the primary outer coil is shorted, and set up as a 2:1 S:P turns ratio. also keep it well insulated. You should do at least 2 turns on all secondary coil layers of office tape for the last 2 turns of each coil, and 5 turns of tape for the 24th. also put about 5mm of Teflon between Primary And secondary, as well as 2 turns of tape for all but the first coil, that needs all five turns of parallel wire with a turn of tape. And please make the coil 20mm in diameter. this is to show that you don't need a extremely large coil to make a 1MV+ in voltage. (and don't spin it at high rpm just to show that it is possible to make a few 100, if not a few 1000s of volts at low speed). Thank you.

[@travismoore7849]

I think I have an impossible generator idea. The impossible generator uses a high voltage capacitor that is on a wooden dow. It is charged up by static charges or by microwaves using two disk of graphene or sprayed on graphite or two thin disc of aluminum. That is coated in wax with a thin sheet of paper cloth in the middle of the plates soaked in salt water. The outer part is just two plastic disc that slots into wood that holds it in place. The wood cd rom holders are spaced out around the tow plastic disc or CD rom disc. They extend to the near center but not all the way. A serpentine coil is wrapped from the top side to the bottom side. As the electric field spins on the axle it induces current into the coil. To recharge the spinning capacitor a comb or other static source charges it up or put near a microwave source? The bearings are held into blocks of wood that fit over the ends of the wood spacers for the disc and coils for the rod to run through the capacitor and bearings. But It may have to be an insulator so that the capacitor holds a charge.

[@tophlaw4274]

I feel the new fins (althought could potentially catch more wind) is quite a bit heavier than your original triangular "feather" design so it's a lot harder to lift to present the increased surface area. > it would be interesting to see how your serpentine coil below would perform (how much voltage it provides) if you hold the rotor down closer to the stator using a bolt & a spacer so it's much closer together (or replace one of the ring magnets with a large metal washer to reduce the gap)
