There are charts made for every region of the U.S. that help figuring out what the average wind speed is and what the average yearly power produced is. If you live in a region where there are lots of tall trees near where you plan to install your wind turbine, DON'T! you would be wasting your MONEY! It would take you more than 25 years to break even! Remember, EDUCATE YOURSELF before you buy something in the HOPE that it would save you money. The seller of these turbines is trying to make money! You will not get the information you seek from that person. Read all that you can before letting someone put a wind turbine on top of your house! The vibration of the blades is going to keep you awake all night! If you have a beautiful tree that is 50 feet tall and just outside your front door, then you need to put your small wind turbine at least 1,000 feet away from that tree or else that tree will create turbulence that will interfere with your wind energy production. KNOWLEDGE IS POWER and I am sure you are familiar with the saying that A SUCKER IS BORN EVERY DAY! ;--))) With respect. Good luck.

This is a good video. I have a BS in aeronautical engineering (and thermodynamics) and your explanations are sound and spot-on. I have a 23' windmill at my pond here, used for aeration...it's a Becker Mills, and has the turbine and pump assemly on the top of the tower. It was here when we purchased the property. The turbine is made of formed sheet metal. The original turbine self-destructed about 2 months ago. After a couple of days of heavy winds, I went back to inspect it and nearly ALL of the turbine blades were broken off at the ROOT, where the bend is in the metal, where it uses three bolts for each blade to the hub. Well anyways, the turbine was just hanging on by 3 bolts, and I was able to remove the turbine. I purchased a replacement turbine, and of course, had to assemble it. About 6 feet across, 13 blades, with a reinforcing ring about halfway between tip and root. The new turbine also had braces at the blade root. See, the years of 'flexing' in the wind finally cracked and broke the blades. When it's sitting there, it can flex forward and backwards, depending on the wind. I worked for GE at the jet engine plant in Cincinnati and specifically wiith turbofan engines, and I felt somewhat bad that I had allowed this to happen to me. Believe me, I'll be inspecting the blade roots very closely from now on.

just so newbies know this guy is using the totally wrong name for the wind mill blades, he is referring to them as the turbine, a turbine is used in hydro generating (water) an no not the water paddle wheel, a turbine is what makes the 3 phase power, dont ever waste your money on DC anything, 3 phase is by far much cheaper and puts out more power at much lower inputs and with 3 phase you dont need huge copper wire, same with solar, stay away from the DC panel's. i been testing for over 40 years, all started by building every part. just know a turbine is what makes the power not his blade as that what broke, not the turbine, with wind it the generator, water uses a turbine to make the power witch can be made out of the old washing machine stator, metel water cups an a plastic drum. take a little rewiring to make it 3 phase

@@arnoldromppai5395 True, though over the years the word "turbine" has been used as well to just describe the moving parts of a mechanical device that changes the motion of wind or water into rotary motion. there's no real 'static' stationary part (stator) of say, MY own windmill, just the moving parts. So I got lax in using the right term, so I stand corrected!

I guess you were sleeping in the electrical part of your physics classes. The video gets skin effect completely wrong. He says DC travels on the outside of a conductor and AC travels on the inside. DC travels on the full cross section of a conductor so solid conductors are just fine for DC. AC travels on the inside in an annulus that gets smaller as frequency increases which is why many AC conductors are tubes rather than solid (see skin effect or skin depth).

I don’t know how many videos on solar and wind I’ve watched, but your the first for me to subscribe too. I’ve always messed with solar on my travel trailers, works great for boon docking while deer hunting and such, but I want to go off grid. This gave me a lot more info than I could want, and I’ll be checking out whatever videos you have on it. Thank you for explaining the “why” and then the “how”. I’m wanting to turn one of my flatbeds into a power plant, solar and wind with a battery bank inside, 5k generator mounted outside with a charging system in case, for some reason, that I don’t have wind and sun for a while. It’s to be stand alone, otherwise, and would be braced and tethered. I know this is very possible seeing that while these fires ripped through our state, and doing standbys for them, I saw setups designed to run command centers in the middle of nowhere. I’m sure it’s gonna cost me a small fortune upfront, but I know it’ll save me big time in the long term.

Very informative video, especially regarding the propellers! However you seem like a guy that wants to be correct, so in interest in assisting in that, and as a design engineer of VDC and Battery systems in telecomm +30 years I have a few concerns: 1) on the VAC rectifier pack installation if I may: The rectifiers keep cool much more effectively if you install them so the heat sink fins run vertically rather than horizontally, while the system may not reach thermal saturation in the horizontal orientation, putting them horizontally will choke the development of air exchange convection currents required to best offload the heat exchange from the fins. Conversely, vertical fin arrangement will draw cooler air in from the bottom and flue the hotter air out the top to create convection cooling air currents that will extend the life of the product... i.e.: in general MTBF is cut in half for every 10C increase in baseplate temp., also rectifier efficiency declines with increase in temp. - so anything that offloads the rectifier circuit heat is a good thing. If you turn it 90 degrees you will have the proper orientation for this type of heat sink. 2) Use "No-Ox" on all of the VDC terminal connections, tinned connections are good, but No-Ox'll extend termination life by orders of magnitude. 3) You'll want to take that ring off when working on high current power systems, OSHA violation. I've known a guy (now deceased) that lost his finger this way - amazing how fast those rings get red hot when they are dead-short welded across high current contacts. 4) Skin effect is not a VDC phenomenon, it is an VAC phenomenon, what is causing voltage drop inefficiency on VDC lines is not skin effect. that it does not get to benefit from collapsing (reversing) magnetic fields on the conductors power transfer (as VAC does). 5) This was not covered, but providing both VDC & VAC output systems are very efficient. If you are going to run any VDC systems into the service area to regain conversion inefficiencies (for example for emergency lighting) it is preferred to maintain reasonable efficiency that you run more batteries in series to reduce current requirement and reduce cable AWG required, -48VDC is a good and common system, and anything below 60 VDC can be installed with PLT. Higher than that requires licensed electrician.

They offer the same controler for 30 bucks less, and they will stand behind what they sell.

Well... are you running it in a tornado or something? It'll turn back and forth and twist the wire which stranded wire is meant for that and has to twist enough over lets say 100' at a minimum. In the end it'll just even out in each direction but that is a real long distance to make a problem. No mechanical stops required.

7:17 You say DC current flows around the outside of the wire and AC current on the inside. This is backwards. AC flows in both directions, causing an EMF, in the centre, which pushes the current to the outside. (look up reactance and its effect regarding resistance). It's a term called skin effect. DC current does not cause this. DC current uses the entire conductor. Solid, large gauge wire is best for DC to avoid "voltage drop". Look up skin effect, and you will see it does not apply to direct current. Great video otherwise. Thanks!

@@boobooproductions1201 You are correct about not using the house wiring for a wind turbine, but the reason is that house wiring is, as you say, a solid conductor, and any vibration, or movement from being blown around in the wind will cause the wires to break. The stranded wire will withstand considerable flexing before it breaks, and it fails gradually, with only a strand or so breaking at a time. This is the reason you never see solid conductor wire in automobiles, motorcycles, etc. Even if you had the house wiring connected to the mast solidly along it's entire length, the mast will still sway slightly in a strong wind which will cause the solid conductor to break. Mark is right about the 'skin effect', but it is almost nonexistant at low frequencies, and only becomes a problem at very high frequencies. This is the reason a solid conductor is fine for household wiring which uses either 50 or 60 hz frequencies. At those frequencies the 'skin effect' is nonexistant.

I skimmed all the questions but didn't see one concerning the wiring being tied off. my concern is when the wind shifts over time in a 360 degree circle the wire becomes twisted once around the mast, over time it becomes twisted again..This will eventually take all the slack out of the wiring and began pulling on the connections. What is the solution for that problem? Unless you leave the top clamp unsecured to the mast so the 3 conductor cable twist on itself and every so offten you unhook it at grade level and manually untwist it then reconnect the cable. This, while a simple fix, strikes me as being less than ideal. anyway, loved the info, especially the part on blade design.

I have a mobile sharpening service with a 5000 watt inverter and 3 batteries. I use a solenoid switch between the engine battery and the two in the back of the van. The alternator charges the system. I've had this idea of putting some type of low drag wind turbine on top the van to charge batteries while driving. About the size of a soda can with little fins, oriented on the roof or under the chasis like the wheels are. Don't know how to do the math to figure if the drag would cancel out the gain.

Thank you, sincere thanks indeed. I've been looking into wind power to offset our electricity costs and quite honestly have put it off because I didn't know how to reasonably get the power into our home. We only rent this home and so modifying the fuse box etc is prohibitive. Our biggest expense is the hot water system which we can't reasonably connect wind power to as its hardwired into the house's system but thanks to you I now grasp how to connect our fridge/freezer, air con'/heater to which are the next most expensive things. I like your explanation so much also because it isn't reliant upon a smart device & app etc for control which may fail. 6 years old and this video is still the best, most useful I've ever seen.

I'm no electrical expert, but why can't you use ordinary Delco car alternators? They're very cheap, they could rev to 10,000 rpm's for short periods of time with no damage, but are happy at rpm's below 1,000, they have built-in rectifiers, and can properly charge and not over-charge common car batteries in parallel banks regardless of input speed, and with or without a load they don't mind. And if the rpm from the fan is consistently too low, some type of gearing could be used between the fan and alternator. The only big expense I see are the fans themselves, and perhaps the housing to keep the weather off the alternators. Inquiring minds would like to know . . . sure seems like a lot of electronics could be eliminated and you'll have something that has a demonstrated reliability of many years. I've only replaced the alternator once in my 24 year old car with over 300,000 miles on it.
@ancienttom97

A car generator requires a starting voltage to drive it's armature. This is used by your car to regulate the charge current coming out of the alternator thus regulating the car's voltage to about 14v at full charge. To use a car's alternator, you would have to supply the regulation circuitry to the alternator that is not really necessary in this application. also, at a car's cruising speed, the motor is turning at approximately 1800 rpm. With this in mind, you would have to use pulleys and a belt to turn up the speed of the alternator being driven by the wind blades to get maximum output of the alternator. This would add undo bulk, weight, and loss due to drag and friction of a pulley system. We are dealing with trying to convert wind pressure to electricity and if we are lucky, we'll get winds that are more than 5 o9r 6 mph. The trick is to create as much efficiency as possible and not introduce any loss of wind power because of bad or Micky-mouse design. It seems to me that the most efficient process would be to minimize the mechanics at the head and do all processing on the ground where you can take advantage of state of the art charging control.

AFAIK all mechanically generated electricity starts out as AC it's just a matter of where and how it is converted into DC. And 3 phase random frequency or "wild" AC makes perfect sense for transmitting down the tower and as close to the point of use as possible . I'm pretty convinced that the best design for small home wind generators is a axial design vs the rotary design intrinsic in the automotive alternator.

MissouriWindandSolar Wind Turbines are fairly worthless, All you need to do is utilize thermal solar power using water heated by the Sun to run steam driven turbines. Use some of that electricity to induce the electrolysis of water into one side hydrogen and the other oxygen. Use a compressor to fill tanks of hydrogen for running the boiler when the Sun goes down or on cloudy rainy days, make and store enough hydrogen so that trucks, cars, and buses run on it (very little modification needed to do this with combustible existing engine). Utilize the compressed oxygen for medical use. We already have all this technology now. If you are interested in citations for all of this I wrote a paper on it in 2012, david11a@msn.com

If you want intermitent power to charge batteries in an off grid situation, go for it. If you are talking about wind farms and transmision of that created electricity over long distances it is to expenxive, ask T. Boone Pickens. There are two types of Solar one is solat photovoltaic which a cell will last about fifeteen years and starts to level down its energy output which is truly very small output at peak performance, for our energy needs as a World you would have to cover the Earth with them. The other Solar is Solar thermal using mirrors to heat water to well over 1000 degrees farenheight(sp) using steam to drive existing steam powered turbines. If we use some of the electricity for electrolysis of water we produce hydrogen on one anode and oxygen on the other anode divide this so one side hydrogen the other oxygen and we compress these gases into tanks and use the hydro to heat the water on cloudy days and when the sun goes down eventually storing enough hydrogen to power cars and trucks the only pollution is water vapour from a hydrogen burn.

all electricity flows on the surface of the wire. therefore stranded wire has vastly more surface area and so can carry more amperage AC or DC it doesn't matter. more surface equals more amperage. For prof of this concept look to super high amperage cable they always have super fine stranded threads ie welding cable. Everyone should consider never using single strand AKA solid wire on anything ever ever ever. Looking at the death toll for romex wired houses should convince even the most skeptical

Electricity moves through the covalent bond of the atoms of conductive elements such as copper, aluminum and iron. It does not travel only on the surface of wire. Stranded wire is used on larger gauges of wire for flexibility reasons not conductive reasons. If your reasoning were true then the bus bars (the devices that carry all of the current in a distribution system) would not be solid, but they are solid. Open your breaker box on your house and you will see what I am talking about. All of the bus bars distributing electricity to all of your circuits are solid.

bigdpw Yep, that's not true at all, take a look at the wire that has the heaviest amperage requirements SOOW, MTW, welding cable ect. (all of which have very small gauge wires because their increased surface area can carry more amperage in comparison to solid wire which can carry the least amperage for its size) It's not for "flexibility" it's for amperage capacity. "Electricity" moves through the outer shield of the atom much more easily in atoms with many electrons in the outer shield that's why we call them conductors rather than those with very few electrons in the outer shield (called "insulators")
@bigdpw
@bigdpw 10 жыл бұрын
reagentism It's called the valence electrons or valence orbitals. Electrons move across the outer orbits of the ATOM'S shell where a hole is present in the valence of an ATOM not on the outside of a WIRE. Wire is made up of millions of atoms and to think only the atoms on the outside of wire can carry current is a very rudimentary understanding of electricity. If you want a deeper understanding of the properties of electricity there are some basic courses at your local college that can get you started. Also learn as much as you can about Nikola Tesla and why DC current requires larger conductors than AC current.
@bigdpw

bigdpw OK I shouldn't have said "all". Most would be more appropriate. Thanks for the advice on local colleges, that's actually a very good place to start. All else equal the ampacity of a wire is increased by increasing it's surface area retaliative to it's size. That is why stranded wire can carry more amperage than solid wire of the same size. And that is why very high amperage wire has very fine strands. Because it increases surface area, thus increasing the amperage of the wire.

What he says about wire sizes and number of strands is contrary to what I've learned from Electronics and electrical courses over the years. First of all what determines the wire size you need is purely the amperage it will be carrying. The higher the amperage the larger the wire. You will get the same power loss over distance if the VOLTAGE is the same for the AC as for the DC with the same load on the end of the run. And about AC traveling on the outside of the wire, yes if you're running RF frequencies. At 60 or even 400 hz (cycles per second) ac reacts to wire diameter pretty much the same as DC. The reason he's running AC over an extension cord is because the voltage is high but the amperage is relatively low. Depending on how much voltage you want to run through your rectifier you may want to add a step down transformer to bring the AC down to the appropriate level. For instance you only need about 15 Volts AC to rectify to DC and then run through the charge controller or maybe simply a good voltage regulator to provide the 13.8 volts DC that is what is nominally 12 volts as used in a car. You can do it the way he says but you'll lose a lot of efficiency if you don't step it down before rectifying it. In my opinion he's doing the same thing he says the sellers of the turbines with the built in rectifiers is doing and that is making his system look better. Ugh, number of blades. He neglects to tell you about multiblade aircraft propellers. Go look at all the large world war 2 bombers and the fighters and count the blades on each engine. Usually 4. Many modern aircraft use more blades than that. But many even most of the aircraft of WW2 had 4 blade propellers. The problem with the blades passing the support is why they put the blades on the upwind side of the support rather than the downwind side. If the blade goes BEHIND the support it creates a serious vibration problem. In front there is no problem. It's no more difficult to balance a 4 bladed propeller than it is a 3 or 5 blade propeller. And I'm done. I'm leaving at 12:41 into the video because I can't continue watching his hogwash. Yes his own term applies to what he has been saying. Oh and I've only worked on electrical and electronics equipment since about 1964 when I started rewinding the armatures in slot car motors to make them draw more current at the same voltage.
