wind turbine build pt4

part 4 how to build a wind turbine.in this video we see if the blades are balanced and if they will work for our belt driven wind turbine.

[@JamesHolben]

Those appear to be some right fine wooden blades Mr. Buckett! You lads on the West Coast of Ireland are truly blessed with good wind.

[@Bubblytubebob]

Great work Ian . The belt drive is working out fine. I want to see it in strong winds with the blades glassed ,next show. Some good furling shots in gusty wind would be cool too. Not much noise either.

[@archieanderson2123]

Oh man awsom love the turbine Hope to be able to build one of these beasts for my house back here in Canada. Thanks and keep up the great work

[@CrapPolice]

lol. welcome back and hope you're enjoyin' those sunny skies over yonder. please send us some of your grey skies to hide that damn sun.

[@jonanddenise112]

I like the direction you are going friend-will the shroud protect the belt from ice, etc. when it is all put together? How many amps/watts are you expecting to get from this new set-up?

[@cwrobinson6363]

I really love this one. Very, very, nice. Thank you.

[@Edward3000WIn]

Hi Ian, i think Chris Olsen said 80 or 90% of the power is made by the outside half of the blade length.what is the rotor diameter/ swept area & how are you going to tension the drive belt ? Thanks for sharing your videos

[@ian57812]

thanks,yes hugh and other power have learned quite alot.but have not been lucky to go on a course as of yet.

[@wookie0dud]

Hi there! Turbine itself looks great! I have some questions... is there any webpage or tutorial made by you which shows how to make similar wind turbine and how to connect all the stuff to make home power plant? Regatds!

[@ian57812]

thanks,there are a few small things to iron out but i was pleased with the first blade test the fly wheel hub seems to work well and very good low accoustics no point taking all that energy from the wind and turning it into sound.LOL.thanks again for your positive comment means alot to me.

[@mccunecp]

looking nice I wishI could make myown blades but I will have to buy them looks nice man I want to do the same thign withe 4-1 ratio system for more power. nice video man. cant wait to see the finshed product.

[@Teciprac]

Have you checked out the building plans of Hugh Piggott, or Otherpower? It's worthwhile taking a look at. Went to a course held by Hugh. Learned very much. Enjoy your videos. Thanks for posting.

[@ian57812]

Good question? No i have been playing around with all sorts of furling designs for a long time.You can place the furling tail where you want. Dont be afraid to experiment and improve old designs.

[@paverop]

Thats a nice looking turbine. I subscribed to your channel. I'm not being a critic but do you mind if I ask a question? I always thought that the centerline of the shaft had to be offset to the side of the tower, for the furling to really work. Good build though, and very informative. Good job!

[@ian57812]

yes the fibre glass casing will protect it,It will also have a nose cone.your kind of seeing naked at the moment should look printy cool when finished but it has to work first.i would like to see a consistant 1000w in 24v in a 15 to 20 mph wind. could do more?

[@paverop]

Please don't think I'm being critical. I'm visiting these alternative energy You Tube videos to learn a thing or two from people like you who have done the research. I wish I had the money to build my own. I really do.

[@alanwarner7057]

Great blade design.

[@ailbe0]

Great video Ian I found it very interesting and learned a lot from it, do you have any more?

[@CrapPolice]

Ian your blades should have continued down closer to the hub. More blade equals more power. Like to see you work on that bladeset next.

[@ian57812]

yea forgot to say how quite the blades are.well alot to do with the belt and pma to come.so far so good.thanks bob

[@belgrademachine]

That looks very good .. I especially like that the hub allows wind flow. How will you adjust belt tension? On another note I enjoy seeing the green rolling hills in the background. Its always fun to see the far away places in peoples videos even though that’s just background. Again, great turbine!

[@jwsolarusa]

Wow! That's awesome buddy. How much power you harvesting on that turbine? Thanks for sharing .

[@CrapPolice]

Those blades are cranking though. How's Barry the cat doin?

[@ronelcalamba2390]

This is a beautiful wind turbine sir, and awesome blades... but what are the blades made of?

[@ian57812]

Ronel Calamba Thanks, the blades are made from Red deal wood. Not the best wood to use for wind turbine blades but I covered them in a plain weave fiberglass cloth.

[@ian57812]

Thank you kind Sir.Yes the higher the better wind becomes turbulent ? closer to the ground near trees buildings etc. Called dirty wind. look at the effect when flying a kyte. We also have 10 miles of usable wind above our heads. Thanks for the sub.

[@ian57812]

thanks bit early days to tell cut in wind speed i need to hook up the pma and belt to fine that out this test is just to balance blades. yes the test pole is not the best but over all i was pleased so far.

[@acebestwords]

Nice design, but where's your motor generator? Are you intending to use as display only or to get free electricity?

[@ian57812]

No check out where what it has become.

[@SilentDeath002]

hello ian,,really nice job on those blades. I want to try and make a set up similar to yours. just need to research how the blades are done. I have seen a few videos, just really need to take my time with the layout. I built a VAWT and I will gear that one up soon. still in test phase. great job on the build again!!!

[@ian57812]

Thanks I used Hugh Piggots wind turbine recipe book has some great layouts for blades. You can buy it online for approx. 30.00 euro/Dollars. Its kind of the bible for DIY wind turbines.

[@sarconcocu]

Hi Mr. @İam57812 do you have a template file like dwg ?

[@StephenTrenewablenergy]

I say you get lots of Wind in the west. You in Galway? What power do you get from it?

[@charlesw4160]

That is a fine machine Sir.

[@funny1048youtube]

this wind turbine looks very good do you know how many rpm it spins at because i was thinking about building one but i was worried that a turbine i build would literally throw blades at high rpms

[@ian57812]

Dean Walcott Yes with out the furling tail design the blades would over speed in high winds.

[@ian57812]

Big thanks Archie, will be doing a power out put video asap

[@ian57812]

barry is good i got some worming pill down him last week.not sure what he thinks of the new turbine seems to spend most of his time down the bat cave.

[@PP.EKOTECH]

Good job ! :)

[@actorzone856]

blade does not look wide enough at the axle end so as to catch as much wind as possible,

[@cwrobinson6363]

Hello: What is your Blade pitch? Everything looks good to me except your Blade pitch. I find that an 18° pitch angle works great. With this angle, I know that your blades would spend around like crazy in low winds. Please see my small blades on KZbin, you can find it under Mini wind turbine 4a. This is my small test turbine for my larger wind turbine. I wish I could show you my larger Wind turbine but, I cannot at this time because it has something on it that is going through the patent prosecess.

[@ian57812]

yes chris is correct,you will have to watch the next video.

[@moacienergialivre8270]

Olá sou brasileiro língua portuguesa gostaria de saber se for possível como que são feito essas par Qual o seu comprimento, o diâmetro e o ângulo de inclinação de cada uma se o ângulo de se é se é de 15 a 25 graus

[@alialobaidi6940]

Good work's .....

[@CrapPolice]

ok looking forward to it

[@ian57812]

thanks check out pt1 i show how.yes was a nice clear day,for a change.

[@goonluv]

Nice turbine

[@ethics1017]

well done. that is what I would like to do .

[@wtam69]

It's a good thing you live there. Otherwise, all the wind would have been wasted.

[@alternativeenergyresearch4857]

I want to see all parts make video on it

[@ian57812]

Why?

[@alternativeenergyresearch4857]

@@ian57812 sir I am doing a project got stuck

[@carmelpule6954]

You know , if that van was parked somewhere else far from the turbine, the blades would be getting solid wind instead of turbulence as appears to be he case.

[@descent8275]

holy shit these spin fast!!!

[@ian57812]

Thanks if you want to see the finished turbine check out Bad Day in Beijing ian57812

[@ian57812]

Thanks wind turbine made from welded metal and blades made of wood

[@ian57812]

lets swap any time worst summer on record in ireland that was the best day of the summer so far i am going down the bat cave at least its warm down there

[@ian57812]

No your wrong most of the energy is at the ends of the blades. wait until you see the finished product

[@ian57812]

Yes wind turbine build part 4 was just at a low basic mock up stage.I have moved and improved the turbine alot since this video (all part of the fun) Please explain "motored above tip speed" not sure what you mean. Hope to show power out put asap. Dont forget to subsribe, you could miss it. Thanks for your comment.

[@อนุการวงค์กร]

you use a wooden What make turbine

[@rjahdali]

Windmill spinning like helicopter

[@ashifkhan007]

Will you post your email id, i have some doubts about wind turbine..pls

[@ian57812]

he has blocked me i tryed to explain his inacurate wild data he it trying to recover from 3 roof top turbines.i gave him the correct infomation on data recovery and compounded areas but sadly he will now never know.mr science he does not agree on my economical theories and resorted to laughing out loud alot.mean while on planet earth we will just have to get on with it.
