I love that you love what you do. I know just enough to mostly follow along, not enough to do it myself, but your passion projects brighten my day every time I watch. Thank you.

[@kimchiman1000]

Have watched through your entire series on this concept, and just want to say that I very much appreciate the trouble you went to to make this available to the world. I believe that even a regular guy like myself might actually stand half a chance of constructing one.

[@greensfarmland]

I think that this construction is perfect. Especially adding the rest of the coils this would be perfect for an added benefit along with solar.

I'm loving watching the journey unfold and the tech evolve as you gain new insights. Thanks for sharing, really inspiring stuff!

That's impressive in a low wind environment. That suspension arm is a big improvement in reducing the friction load. these videos have been very educational, thank you.

[@jeffreyrood8755]

That's great Robert. Removing that bearing was a really great move in speed. Keep it up.

[@Dave64track]

Great project and it's moving with so little wind which shows that the improvements are working a treat. Looking forward to seeing it work when it's windy and connected to some lights. Keep up the good work.

Beautiful little piece of engineering .I am now smiling.

Hi Robert. Really really great. And that idea of one listenners to put it in the attic and take advantage of the air convection is also an interesting idea.

[@RR-mt2wp]

Fantastic Robert its so free moving and quiet. Spot on bud.

[@rodciferri9626]

Awesome - that was just what it needed!

[@teyronjayneevans3278]

That's amazing. I am nearly 50yrs old and retraining as an electrician but it is projects like this that really inspire me . This is very practical information. 💜🌞👍👍

Love the guidelines, love the video - am intending to do something similar for my yorkshire coast home where it’s always breezy and often wild - would love to see how you would connect this to a battery etc and more info on how much output would be required to run a home’s electrics. 😊

[@justnumber427]

haah love your joy when you first spin it! just so happy!! made me smile

Robert,

[@f5dpylon]

0.14mWh no where near enough to charge even a button cell.

[@binmanblog]

Such a small and stable footprint with so many options for incremental improvements. Multiple rings of coils across the diameter like tree rings. And to think this many from scrap. Awesome

[@morpher44]

By using supercapacitors, the Joule storage could be much greater. Also, in my location, it is when the sun is starting to set that the winds pick up from the ocean to the land. People on the coast can exploit the ocean breezes.

[@glennwebster1675]

Can't wait until it's finished and you ship it to me.... Great video thanks again.

[@thomasmoore4576]

That is totally awesome I got the same win or saying type of win I can't wait till I get me one built and thanks for sharing your knowledge you seem to have an endless supply
