Wind Turbine Assembly Freedom and Freedom ll PMG Galvanized | Missouri Wind and Solar

[@blmeflmm66]

what keeps the cable from twisting and wearing against the inside of the pipe? No commutator plate or anything?

[@JustinCaseSolarPower]

Look at the way you can spin the duel freedom just with your thumb and finger. Very nice Jeff

[@MissouriWindandSolar]

Thanks Justin. I finally have a residential wind turbine that will look good for a long time. No extra charge for the galvanizing either.

[@JustinCaseSolarPower]

MissouriWindandSolar Yes your doing a fantastic Job there Jeff. Improving your gear all the time. I wish there were a lot more ppl like you about mate. We would all be having our power from the wind and sun by now.

[@michaelray316]

I keep learning more and more from you, thank you a lot for these videos I can't stop watching them, I am about to power my house on the Caribbean Island running off the grid.

[@MissouriWindandSolar]

Well thanks Michel and good luck with your project. Jeff

[@homesteadingusa]

We love our 48V Freedom II. Very well made, easy to Install and we would like to let everyone know that we are very pleased with your customer support and how refreshing it is to have a question and be able to get someone on the phone to answer questions anytime of day during business hours. Cameron has been awesome. Looking for a 40-50mph day hopefully soon to get the party started. Off Grid Stoves and More gives you 5 Stars for just being a well rounded company. Thinking of a second Turbine soon. Speak with you then :)

[@Sloansteelsigns]

I've followed Jeff and his company's progress over the years since i was in high school, day dreaming about experimenting with renewable energy. I think back then he was putting in custom stator windings and neodymium magnet rotors into car alternators, really cool stuff, even sold the kit to DIY. And wow, how far he's come is just great. He went away from using ac delco bodys to manufacturing his own enclosure. I have yet to try his turbines, but since i now work in the renewable wind industry on 2MW turbines, anyone doubting the science doesnt know what theyre talking about. I'll soon be reaching out to them to get a freedom and freedom 2 and starting a channel, documenting off grid renewable energy and reviewing his turbines. Its been a long time coming and Im glad to see he's still around and still after all these years the only on the market that is selling something that isnt all plastic.

[@shawhit3462]

I want one of these as soon as I can get one...50 year lifespan is a great number....Love it!

[@MissouriWindandSolar]

Thanks sha wit. Over time the shiny galvanizing will dull out to a grey finish which is cool looking. Like the Aero motor water windmills. Look how long there hot dip galvanizing lasts.

[@TheMountainfarmer]

Really good looking turbine.

[@michaelray316]

I got your link below, and I‘m planing to purchase everything from you because I like the fact that you made them here in the states so I can get all my spare parts whenever I need them, and I am sure I will get some technical support From you if I need you, I like all your videos, the solar systems and turbines they are great 👍🏾

[@firelight10101]

Once again, a product above the others!

[@elchicodelcafepr]

Beautiful product, respect.

[@MissouriWindandSolar]

Thanks!

[@AllThingsRamdom]

Thanks for sharing Jeff!

[@RobEJC]

I just realized I drive right by your shop every time I go to/from Kansas City from the Gulf Coast! I need to stop in next time.

[@MissouriWindandSolar]

Love to have ya.

[@hmmok1960]

I would steel like to know what let your wire go round ? if the wind keeps turning the turbine the same way.

[@ian57812]

Great at last a galvanised wind turbine on the market. Lets see the knock offs follow that. Looks like you have done it again Jeff. Thumbs up from Ireland and every one living coastal will love this.

[@MissouriWindandSolar]

Thanks Ian. I know you can appreciate the galvanizing on the new wind turbine. I didn't galvanize the hub because it's to lumpy. The hub would have to be sanded down so the blades would lay flat, so i had to go to zinc plating on the wind turbine blade hub.

[@ian57812]

MissouriWindandSolar Ah! yes I did not think about that with the hub. One thing I noticed with wind turbines is every action has a reaction. Thanks again

[@jwrhynejr.6689]

Excellent information from MW&S. Thanks for this video.

[@samthebarber40]

just bought the Missouri Raider Freedom 11 Blade 12 volt 1600 Watt Max Wind Turbine Generator HD off ebay.............hope it does a good job for me thanks

Nice video for the beginner again Jeff. Thanks for sharing

[@MissouriWindandSolar]

Thanks Tore. My wind turbine will be getting improvements all the time.

Yes i like the new tail more area for the wind to grab on. :-) After you galvanized the tail you needed a litle more force to turn the tail.

[@timfinch3226]

What size pipe do you use for the mount pole?

[@losesparkplug1190]

I found one company that makes a 96v inverter for the 48v dual pmg freedoom 2

[@Jeepollllllo]

The new PMG turbines sure look sharp. Can't wait to get one sometime soon. ollllllllo

[@J.Javid124]

Hello Jeff, in a horizontal turbine, so that the main cable inside the pipe does not rotate around itself, coal and collector are needed. Does the turbine not constantly twist the central cable as a result of rotation?!

[@dhollow175]

Jeff, What prevents the down drop cable from getting all twisted up?

[@SedonaPerioCO]

I have the same exact question.

[@jnull0]

Those look awesome Jeff, another quality American product. I can't wait to add one to my system. Thanks for sharing. J

[@MissouriWindandSolar]

Thanks J The cost of the wind turbine is staying the same, no extra charge for the galvanizing. It's actually pretty cheap to do if you send in thousands of them. The problem i had though is the galvanizing filled in all the bolt holes. I have to clean out almost every hole now. but it's worth it. The galvanizing company is down the road from us in Arkansas.

[@carlyaney8521]

MissouriWindandSolar Oustanding! Your products always seem to be improving. How do you keep the cable in the tower tube from twisting without the use of a commutator or sliprings?

[@erfans.6928]

thank you!

[@voltairegoethe]

Super item - all youtube verified purchasers I have found are more than satisfied with the performance. 5 star

[@falonhall59]

How do you keep the cable from twisting?

[@syrynus876]

Very neat. I would suggest that you just add one last shot, of your turbine mounted, in the wind and turning.

[@ChileExpatFamily]

What defines the heights that I should consider on mounting my Windmill and what type of pipe do I need to use?

[@hdfxdwg98]

what schedule pipe is supposed to be used for the tower?

[@CoolMusicToMyEars]

Question, would slip rings be better not to twist the cable in the fixing pole, maybe you might get contact resistance change with age dependant upon the quality of the slip rings and enclosure to house such a device,

[@MissouriWindandSolar]

Yes you can use slip rings if you want to. They fit right into our wind turbine. We have a good quality set that works.

[@deenaj44]

nice looking turbine

[@MissouriWindandSolar]

Thanks Jeff

[@Harley13411]

Nice demo thanks for sharing.

[@opticalriot]

great video... after watching your videos. I am hoping you can do some more wiring videos soon. best way to wire batteries so they don't go bad as fast, How to use a water heating element as a load when battery is full. Thanks for the great video

[@TheGushaz]

Awesome! I would like one of those.

[@J.Javid124]

Hello Mr. Jeff, why don't you use a single phase generator??

[@georgiebearpaws]

Jeff, you have a great company, great people working behind you, and put out loads of informative videos to educate your customers. My only concern I have is, neighbors who may not like what they see, or the zoning board making things difficult. I would love to see a kit for vertical blades, that was more discrete, even at the cost of less output, I would be OK with adding an additional unit to compensate.

[@MissouriWindandSolar]

We have been working on a vawt but it's a ways down the road yet

[@RJM1011]

Good video Jeff. Thank you. :)

[@RobWillmot]

What happens when it goes round and round and breaks the cable going down the pipe?

[@jimthomas777]

RobWillmot , wind usually blows from the same direction and does not keep spinning the generator in circles to twist the wire , unless you have tornado's at your house every day , but I would say you have bigger problems than a twisted wire

[@dtdornan]

Hey Jeff. Love your videos. I have a great improvement that you could do to your Freedom 2 pmg. Build one with a full single rotor and stater set, yep one big one instead of two. I would love to see the output on one of those babies.

[@MissouriWindandSolar]

Well we already have one in the works. Got a proto type were testing now.

[@czar89031]

DIY this is very fun to do, your lesson is very interesting & informative,. I love to install some of your product for water irrigation in Thailand,. for quite some time,. I need to study some more.

[@davidlucien2394]

your PMG is working very good in Haiti, I like it. but I you make the new vertical wind turbine

[@Nekyinboots]

No slip ring for electrical contact? Wouldn't that cause excessive wear on the wires?

[@MissouriWindandSolar]

No it doesn't. We have had the same system for years without any failures whatsoever. Slip rings fail all the time and are not cheap. They are also hard to replace. The wind turbine almost never turns a full 360 degrees. Jeff

[@Nekyinboots]

Thank you.

[@Nekyinboots]

I did a little research on what you stated. You are very correct. The general wind direction for an area does not vary. So a slip ring would be a waste and waste does not fit the preppier lifestyle. I am not yet in a position to go off the grid. But living in the show-me state I will go with Missouri Wind And Solar.

[@raffcamp9810]

Hi, I'm interested on this product, but I need more specifications, like how many hampers, this develop, wat radius are the blade wat wind resistance, how much costs to shipping to Australia. Thank you.

[@MissouriWindandSolar]

Best things to do: 1 - Email your questions to [e-mail] 2 - Call our sales team at 417-708-5359 3 - Attend a workshop - windandsolar.com/workshop/ We can get you pretty much any information you need through those channels!

[@MrBobWareham]

Anyone that wants to purchase China crap should watch this video to see what to purchase and how it goes together, a wonderful video thanks Bob in the UK

[@Skinz2013]

I'll be buying one sometimes next month , I was wondering this turbine will work in Arizona southeastern area low winds just breeze or sometimes gust 5-10 mph local winds ?

[@johnotoole5644]

what size wrench and allen do I use on mounting blade hub?

[@MissouriWindandSolar]

Shoot, i don't know right off hand John. I 've did it a thousand times seems like. I'll find out.

[@johnotoole5644]

MissouriWindandSolar the nut is 5/16", not sure what the allen wrench, but I found mine. Here is a thought, put a plastic cup on the end of blades in the packaging to keep the tips from poking out of box during shipment. thanks

[@vinishshetty8055]

Do your pmg work with vertical systems

[@davidjones1393]

NICE

[@carlyaney8521]

Hey Jeff, looks great. What is the wattage output for the Freedom and the Freedom II?

[@MissouriWindandSolar]

up to 1600 watts and up to 2000 watts

[@cutter1777]

what keep the wires from twisting up in pipe ??

[@blairbushproject6687]

does anyone know the schedule pipe for the Freedom II? I know its either schedule 40 or 80, but I have no idea which is for which!

[@MissouriWindandSolar]

Schedule 40 works just fine.

[@josephdupont]

how much are the PM generators???

[@MrBunkerstudio]

Brilliant Jeff!! I want to buy one but can't seem to find one for sale, how can I contact you please, I'm in England,

[@MissouriWindandSolar]

Thank you for your feedback! I've copied the link below to the product. You can also contact us at 417-708-5359. mwands.com/missouri-raptor-g4-wind-turbine-generator

[@1criticthatmatters]

what wind conditions is this best suited for? I live in South Western Ontario, Canada. Around our place their seems to be a constant wind speed of about 5-35kmh. Somtimes much higher, close to 50-70kmh. Do these wind turbines have some kind of brake?

[@wabuminifarm3437]

You can also mount your tail arms this way,,, New MW&S Freedom PMG ,, almost ready to put on my roof :) ,,,, the upper locking collar is not necessary a hose clamp will work just fine like I show in this video ,,, New MW&S Freedom PMG Turbine,,, It's on the Roof :) ,,, I also like to put a little axle grease on the hub shaft and nut this helps keep any moisture out of it and makes it is easy to change blade setups for high and low wind seasons, like I live in :)

[@BobbyDnovaman]

I live in south east michigan is windmill energy worth it in my area?

[@michaeljefferson2686]

Jeff, My wife and I are retiring in Jamiaca. We are building a home on an acre and have the flexibility to build what we want. We will not be on a grid and can take advantage of either wind or solar. We can build a separate building or use the garage to house our sustainable power. I have been watching your videos and concidering Missouri Wind and Solar to build our system. Can you support us from Missouri? And can you make some recommendation on what to build. We are not planning to reduce our lifestyle and will be using approximately 6 to 12 kilowatt hours on a daily basis. Thanks in advance, Another Jeff

[@tcb069]

that is one good lookin turbine jeff, jeff can you show different hook ups of rectifier for freedom 2 , bennifit of hooking up 12/24 , 24/48 , pros and cons , i believe that would be helpfull for your viewers

[@MissouriWindandSolar]

There are no pro's and con's for doing parallel or series wiring on the rectifiers. We'll say you started out with a 12 volt system and later decided to go 24 volt, all you have to do is series the rectifiers and you now have 24 volts, saves having to buy another PMG. Or say your in a good high wind area and you have the Freedom ll PMG 12/24 volt and the rectifiers are in parallel for 12 volt battery charging. Now, the wind dies down in the summer, you can rewire the rectifiers in series to 24 volt so you will hit your 12 volt charging sooner.

[@توفيقالهمداني-د5ط]

Hello, I am from Yemen. I bought a fan like this from the Amazon store. I want to know how much amp is produced. Can I get it on the solar panel regulator?

[@gulerod]

Awesome windmill! quick question, the cables goes down the center of the pole, what happens over time if the the top of the mill rotates the same direction whole bunch of times? do you disconnect it and hook it up after twisting it strait again? :) Thanks Roger

[@fuddy_duddy]

Jungelmaen I was thinking the same thing.

[@DeeFromSA]

In the videos that Jeff has on the website, you will see that he states that the windmill very seldom spins around .. they state they never had a problem of winding up the wires.

[@dickywijaya9614]

Slip ring is the answer. Problem solved.

[@angelitonavarro958]

Jungelmaen .... you did not explain sir what will happen to the wire inside the pole if it is rotating...

[@DeeFromSA]

Jeff - thank you for this - BUT - when exporting to modern countries (the ones that use metric sizes) please drill metric size holes, with metric bolts and nuts. Its not good to go and buy imperial size tools just for a few bolts. I spinned mine by hand and it got to 8.7 volts easily - looking forward to test it in the Mozambique coastal wind

[@fabian1324]

Love all your vids mate,.... can i buy this wind turbine ? im in aussieland :)

[@davidlucien2394]

I want you working horizontal wind turbine, but the vertical is very lazy

[@syncro16se]

Why so many thumbs down? sabotage.. just ridiculous. there's nothing controversial or bad with the video..

[@MissouriWindandSolar]

Just the trolls doing there job.

[@syncro16se]

Well it's annoying.

[@tubeadelic]

Great info....on 5 acres now, need wind power, screw the trolls, they will be eaten when the shit hits the turbine blades.

[@BAKKER2727]

[@RobWillmot]

Galvanizing works , Zinc does not. Zink corrodes pretty bad.

[@richarddowner4292]

GREAT video.... as for the hot dipped galvanized, ( mm x .03937 = std) IT STILL RUSTS in the out door harsh weather it will rust in a year or two.. I have work with this same hot dipped galvanized steal. It does Rust.. now with the hot dipped galvanized steal & a cheap can of spray paint I can see the 50 year guarantee.. I do not see it with just the Galvanized steal alone... JUST TRYING TO HELP YA & Protect you. I Love MW&S... hey you may want to Try silicon paste, It will last for years.. I my self have used that and it does not dry out from the sun and weather. it works PISSA... I gotta get me a PMG do to the crappy Chinese 400 watt wind turbine I have that only makes, at the most 80-90 watts in 20-30 mph wins.. BOOOO it spins all the time but it has to spin at over 1500 rpm to make any power... very educational video thank you for the video... THUMBS UP AND favored video.. thanks

[@richarddowner4292]

good point.. yes a brushed paint is thicker. how ever any paint is better than no paint at all.. so yes a brushed paint will be better than a spray on paint but, with several layers of spray on paint will do the same as brushed on..

[@MissouriWindandSolar]

Richard The company that done our galvanizing has done an entire ferris wheel on Galveston island years ago and still no rust. They also do the platforms on the off shore oil rigs for BP oil and they have no rust on them. I am confident that you will not see any rust on my wind turbines. Jeff

[@richarddowner4292]

that is cool.. I am here just being The Devil's Advocate.. I have used galvanized steal. I was just saying it does still rust... just saying to help protect your GREAT company.... I would look more into that before giving a 50 year grantee.. thanks bud.. your videos kick ass...

[@richarddowner4292]

Hugh Jaanus hey you forgot (in 20-30 mph wins) it should be WINDS not wins... see you suck to HAHAHA :-)

[@MissouriWindandSolar]

Hugh Jaanus Your name is pronounced Huge Anus isn't it ? Or am i saying it wrong ?

[@davidlucien2394]

I want you working vertical wind turbine, but the horizontal is very lazy
