CEILING FAN GENERATOR ALTERNATOR DIY Real Free Energy

FULL HOW TO AT / muddymuddymuddmann
This video explains why a regular AC motor cannot be used AS IS to act as an electrical power generator.
/ muddymuddymuddmann
The ceiling fan motors have the stator in the center and the outer portion that usually attaches to the fan blades rotates around the stationary stator. This allows for Neodymium Magnets
A to be placed around the perimeter. When the outer portion spins, it produces an alternating current not usable by your house appliances.
A diode bridge is an arrangement of four (or more) diodes in a bridge configuration that provides the same polarity of output for either polarity of input. When used in its most common application, for conversion of an alternating current (AC) input into direct current a (DC) output, it is known as a bridge rectifier.
The combination of this arrangement makes a rather efficient generator at a very low cost per watt.

I've done 3 of these. Here's the secret. Don't put north on one coil then south on the next . Use smaller magnets putting them ns ...sn...ns...sn. Or turn the magnets on their side the same way south facing south and north facing north. This doubles the power and spins easier. You will be amazed. I'm lighting 45 watt AC bulbs with the slightest breeze. Try it

[@takforalt]

Wow, never thought of using a ceiling fan for a wind powered electric generator! I will definitely do this. Thanks so much for videos.

[@TheBetterGame]

You've been putting out a lot of videos lately. thanks!

[@Kumite0071]

Hey there GPS! Let me just say im very happy to see other like minded people(with working camera's) participating in practical energy substitutes! I found Muddy's vids a few months back and it gave me a ton of inspiration with the fans,while yours have given me great ideas for hot water + your solar cell vids are vital! I only wish had the money you guys have for materials....Even for a "resourceful handyman" like myself im having trouble accquiring cheap magnets+solarcells...Any suggestions?

[@FredrikFlintstone]

Really enjoy the vids. Thanks Dan.

[@GatheringSticks]

i love your channel...keep posting and I will keep watching

[@dazinull]

hi Dan love your vids mate, ur my fave youtuber have a merry xmas from Kingston upon Hull England.

[@SuperChromer1]

thanks kindly for the link to the in depth reformation of the ceiling fan generator...

[@joaquincano9220]

Hey Dan is it posible to use a gas generator converted to run on alcohol as the source of power for an ac 1 phase motor ev project i am contemplating. Great channel. Great info but I am as dumb as a box of rocks when it comes to electrical connection and so on. Need some advice any will help. Have a great day.

[@n7qvc]

thanks for your vids you and your wife are fun to watch. i'm trying to get some solar stuff going.. Blessings to you and family Merry CHRISTmas Tony

[@GREENPOWERSCIENCE]

@TheBetterGame ;-) I am trying to get to two a week or more. Thank you for enjoying our stuff. Dan

[@GREENPOWERSCIENCE]

Hi, Most DC motors already have magnets in them and operate as a generator. While the magentas are usually NOT neodymium magnets, it will work as is. The motor has brushes and commutators allowing for Direct current usage as a DC motor. So in reverse, the motor will produce DC current. Hook a voltage meter to it and spin the shaft. If it produces current it already has magnets.

[@xUltraVioletDreamx]

I have an old 48v DC fork lift motor lying around. Can this be converted into a generator with magnets? It looks like its wired like a car alternator with windings in the stator and rotor

[@GREENPOWERSCIENCE]

@dazinull Thank you:-) Have a great xmas!

[@allencampos8391]

hello, we are conducting our research about treadle powered generator all we need to do is stored the energy into the battery by pedaling the treadle but we have problem we cannot charge the battery and the motor we use is from a ceiling fan and as you said that ceiling fan is AC how can we charge a battery?

[@mag7mm1]

Ive built these with good results but was wondering if I was to use to charge a battery bank for a grid tie connection and used say a 200ah battery 12 volt run it down to 11 volts how long would this turbin take to recharge battery to 14 volts if your turbin puts out 20 volts at 1 amp?

[@gaboogablah]

Use a normal ac motor as a generator to make ac voltage. If you get the rpms up to the amount on the name plate, then you should have the voltage that's on the name plate too. There's this thing most people don't know, called a MG set, or motor-generator, they use a motor to turn another motor to make isolated ac output.

[@GREENPOWERSCIENCE]

muddy is the fan conversion king and axial flux alternator guy 4 sure:-)

[@immrnoidall]

thanks for all of the great videos you two should have your own tv show .i know it would do great.you two deserve to be recognized.[paid well],realy thanks for all of your help and idea's.i was hoping you might tell people a good place to find the "bridge rectifiers", are inside an unneeded computer power supplies .easy to find inside.easy to wire.dc contacts were marked.to aviod dc volt loss ,i want to run the 2 ac lines[fan coils], into the house,then rectify to dc.what should i ground?ideas?

[@mereutuben]

Hi Dan, like you did with fan motor, can I take any A/c Motor and put magnets in to make a generator. if the motor is 110V and say, 100W, how much DC Watt/Volts it would produce ?

[@wyattlisadana]

When using blades for your generator it is better to use an odd number of blades. Also use more blades if your in a lower wind area. Less blades run faster in a higher wind. Thanks Dan

[@sasop117]

@asbecka would the number of poles effect that as well?

[@IdahoViewing]

@asbecka ....additional filtering. This is usually in the form of a large capacitor. This smooths out the wave form to something VERY close to a dc voltage.

[@GREENPOWERSCIENCE]

@GatheringSticks Thank you!!!

[@GREENPOWERSCIENCE]

Thank you for the great comments, she will be in our next set of videos:-)

[@dickknuckle707]

Hello my host Dan Rojas! I have a question that I couldnt find through google or in your comments. My question is: What is the most efficient electrical generator? a permanent magnet DC motor with brushes, alternator that needs an excited mag field, an ac motor with rectifier, etc? I just want to use the most efficient generator type for my projects. Thanks in advance! I love your videos.

[@immrnoidall]

oh 1 more comment.more wife please,she has a lovely ,,, voice,,,.it is clear that she realy enjoys working on projects with you.please have her encourage more girls to get involved in green inventions.we need more girls like her.fun is the KEY to happines.keep up the great work.

[@DARKthenoble]

Im not really looking to make a windmill. I want to hookup a cheap mini diesal motor to it, and see if I can get enough juice out of it to charge something like a couple car batterys.

[@asbecka]

@kevbow0137 Frequency is tied to rotation speed, but so is the voltage that is produced. Of course you can always get around this problem by using DC generator and inverter for the proper AC output. It depends on what you want to use it for. Newer AC generators are being built with larger coils so that the blades can spin slower while still producing the same voltage. Keep in mind these things are going to be massive.

[@asbecka]

@kevbow0137 Right, you'd want to use a gearing system or some type of transmission so that the blades can turn fairly slowly, while the generator itself would be rotating at the proper 3600 RPMs. After that, some circuitry can be used to dump the additional energy to help keep the RPMs in the proper range when the winds are higher therefore creating a somewhat decent electromechanical breaking/transmission system.

[@asbecka]

Some electric motor/generator basics: 1) they are both grounded in electromagnetic principles and both require permanent magnets to function. If you add electric current to a electric motor it causes it to spin, if you spin the shaft of an electric motor it generates a current. This occurs regardless of whether it is an A.C. Or D.C. motor. While adding a rectifier to a A.C. Motor being used as a generator, the D.C. current it produces isn't the best without the best without the addition of addi

[@WorkFreeWizard]

Been wanting to try to build one for over a year now. Just need to get some magnets.

[@EdgeRetro]

What if you used a separate supply to activate the electromagnet of a regular A/C motor- then is there any way to make it act as a generator without permanent magnets?

[@asbecka]

Besides not wanting it to fly apart, you also don't want the blades going so fast that they are creating sonic booms either. On the big turbines that you see, the tips are going slightly over 300 some MPH even though they look like they are moving quite leisurely.

[@asbecka]

@kevbow0137 to get the proper frequency to use it as an A.C. generator, you need to control the rotation rate of the device. For instance, if you want 60Hz, you'll need to ensure a spin rate of 3600 RPM or 60*60, if your dealing with 50Hz it'll be 3000 RPM or 50*60. That being said, you wouldn't want to do that unless you are either off grid or have a piece of equipment that synchronizes the signals going into the house. This goes for D.C. to A.C. conversion as well.

[@wwlegomaster]

Hahah i want to try this at home so badly!

[@laytonhamilton5000]

were can i buy the magnets

[@juancarlosruiz1985]

how many watts would this generate?

[@shalinipal492]

Can u plz tell how you put those magnets inside it with which pole

[@stevenfeil7079]

It is a commercial device. SMH

[@wyattlisadana]

Has anybody seen the film "The Corporation"? It's a must see for us corporation haters. It is very informative

[@sasop117]

@asbecka I know on a car alternator if its a 6 pole, the engine speed will but half the frequetsy (cos of the pully ratio) then 1/6 of that again for the poles

[@roycast832]

HEY DAN IM BUILDING A TESLA/PELTON HYBRID TURBINE OUT OF THESE CEALING FAN, IM NOT SURE IT WILL WORK BUT I'll KEEP YOU POSTED!!!!

[@asbecka]

Also, while less critical, there is no regulation circuitry either. Just like ripple reduction (the purpose of the capacitor) there are a variety of ways to do this, some of which are quite simple.

[@asbecka]

@kevbow0137 resistors would be an easy way, a little more efficient way would be some regulation circuitry that would send the excess to the resistor bank when the voltage goes over a certain threshold.

[@Noruzenchi86]

i dont know why im so interested in electrical videos like these when you put into perspective that i'm too damn pussy to even get near one of those things, let alone touch one.

[@xapplimatic]

The magnets must be as close to the coils as possible for maximum energy transfer. The further away, the more energy you lose. They also need to have their field orientation pointing at the right direction so the lines of flux that cut across the windings will have the most efficient transfer possible. You don't want the magnets fighting each other, nor a negative feedback loop from incorrect relationship to the windings becoming temporary energized electromagnets fighting the magnets.

[@UrgenthelpwithSubscriptionsHel]

Matt Carrell shut a fuck up. They have a good orientation. It's a Ac motor for home use. They won't build this for shirt life or to burn your ceiling from overheating. The magnets generate current even from 10mm far. Shut a fuck up child. Read about magnets before you talk like an idiot

[@mallardhead]

Thanks!

[@michaelhernandez439]

There's no link ,😂

[@Deem0-wy2ry]

What’s the link ? it didn’t pop up

[@brotherreverb]

Instead of putting the magnets around the outside ring, could they be mounted to a plate on the top of the rod in the center of the fan?

[@Teknopottu]

No, it would be awfully ineffectient

[@solarconcert]

Hi Dan! A quick question - Which magnet should I buy? Any help would be great! THANKS! you can see my creation from your videos! THANKS AGAIN!

[@UrgenthelpwithSubscriptionsHel]

Tony Nickoloff think about the coils. Coils are very important in winding, size and all that. Coils do the calculation of voltage and ampers. Magnets only help with the pulse of the magnetic field

[@asbecka]

@idahoviewing I am very well aware of that fact as I have an engineering degree, however neither Dan or Muddy (didn't get to watch all the vids, but it should have been mentioned in the first few that I watched) make any mention of what should be done creating a more appropriate D.C. signal. It is also falsely stated that A.C. signals will destroy or play havoc with your household appliances. The more likely problem would be inappropriate frequency, since the circuitry is designed to work with

[@asbecka]

@sasop117 I would have to research that, but I don't think so.

[@CheekyMonkey1776]

Thanks for the link! I’ll check the channel out

[@TizianoBacocco]

squirrel cage asynchronous motors can be used as generator also , you just need some capacitors

[@MrCoreyTexas]

It didn't look very balanced. Is that just a consequence of your drill setup? Would it be more balanced installed properly as a wind turbine?

[@tomconner5067]

Why can't you use AC current in your home? In my home, the output of the lighting and 30 amp or lower wall outlets are 120v AC and the higher capacity appliances are either hardwired, with or equipped with a dedicated 240v AC outlet, and matching input amperage rating supply power cord plug, non interchangeable, but supply input is 120-240v AC @ 200 amps, not a single DC supply receptacle on any wall outlet.

[@donneimeyer21]

Yes your appliances use 120v AC, but the part you are missing is the hz or cycles. Unless you have a constant 60 hz(in USA) you will burn up you appliances/devices.

PyRoOWL 1995 do cieling fan has electromagnet

[@CalyPTratus]

I started following muddmans videos, but i feel there are plenty information missing. I'm doing a photo-guide of my own build with converted ceeling fan motor, muddmans autostalling type of rig, but eith a blade design made out of suage pipe, wich i picked up from a project called Chrispito wind turbine. Msg me for link to photo gallery =)

[@TheSentientCloud]

Well, I have got to say amperage does matter. XDDD If a 1 cm arc is 10KV and I had been shocked by 2 in sparks then... XD My fingers are fried I guess. But I don't know why, 220V feels nice XDDD

this modification includes adding permanent magnets...……..an ac induction motor produces NO electrical power by spinning it.

[@Teknopottu]

Actually spinning an induction motor does generate electricity if capacitors are connected on series between motor and load. Try youtuber Robert Murray-Smith's video "An Induction Motor As A Generator Without Altering The Motor"

[@asbecka]

@kevbow0137 to get the proper frequency to use it as an A.C. generator, you need to control the rotation rate of the device. For instance, if you want 60Hz, you'll need to ensure a spin rate of 3600 RPM or 60*60, if your dealing with 50Hz it'll be 3000 RPM or 50*60. That being said, you wouldn't want to do that unless you are either off grid or have a piece of equipment that synchronizes the signals going into the house. This goes for D.C. to A.C. conversion as well.
