Wind Turbine Generator from Old Fan

Wind Turbine Generator from Old Fan. This video is to demonstrate how easy it is to convert an old household fan into a very powerful electromagnetic generator that can be used in a wind turbine or water turbine or any other off grid, renewable energy projects. An old fan that might not be working and normally would be going to the trash is still valuable as a DIY generator. I installed 4 neodymium permanent magnets that alternate: north, south, north, south. The generator can produce up to 150 watts of electrical energy but does require more energy and more wind to generate more electricity. You can install only 2 neodymium magnets spaced 180 degrees apart also alternating north, south, that will require less wind and less energy to push the propeller, but also it will generate less electricity. I left the original wirings and switch connected and did not cut it out because the switch has 4 settings: slow, medium, and high and an on and off button. By changing the setting, different voltage potential can be achieved because there will be more or less windings connected inside the generator.

It's really sad that the algorithm does not push such great videos anymore. Diy channels like this should blow up. Great work really👍

[@nathanalgren5247]

Well done. Maybe set up a hand-held anemometer, then change out the mounted blades with those from a larger/wider fan to capture more wind and test your kW output efficiency levels at the same wind speeds. There are plenty of wind turbine technician jobs in the US if you'd like to work on the real McCoy at 80-100m above ground!

Very cool

[@MMPowerCafe]

A most excellent DIY! 👍👍 This really IS exciting stuff and I'm always looking forward to your next project.

[@johnkladis4266]

What is the measured voltage output

[@continualdark1]

Thank you! Inspirational as always.

[@MikeySmithJones]

Full blue prints would be dope. Either way, gonna experiment with this over the summer.

[@BeingWolfy]

Really cool. You skipped over what you used to mount it to the pole though. Is it some kind of ball-bearing so it spins with the wind direction?

[@saracowgill2144]

You have a 3D printer for that piece that connects the rudder?

[@mariahjune1585]

this should have more views! awesome job

[@fasteddy4077]

You truly inspire me.

[@richg.2579]

How can i regulate this like to charge a storage battery with wind ?

[@doubleooh7337]

It would be better if instead of 4n s, you stack a few magnets together so you've only got 1 bigger magnet spinning in the hole , opposites attract so every norths magnetic fields will be attracted sideways to the s poles, instead of outwards into the coils

Hey Daniel's Dad. This is pathetic, your kid eats his own boogers and wets the bed. You're not fooling anyone.
