!±8± Low Cost Wind Turbine Version 1 Built by Eric Layton

About a month ago I built a 0 wind turbine and a controller box to charge a 12 V battery. I built this wind turbine while teaching some students at Loga Springs Academy in Gainesville. The students helped put the wind turbine together as well as paint the blades and motor hub the school colors. Gainesville does not have high wind speeds, so I needed to design a wind turbine for cheap that could have low start-up wind speeds. The gusts of wind in Gainesville usually do not exceed 10 MPH. This particular wind turbine, made from 6" PVC blades, could start with wind speeds at around 4 MPH to 5 MPH and was generating 100 Watts or more at 17 MPH. I bought a very used, cheap, and rusted wind motor generator from Ebay. I followed many wind turbine designs I found on the internet to enhance this particular turbine. My goal is to try to built a few more of these turbines for less than 0 each by bulk ordering better motor generators. Ebay has become difficult in the last 2 months to find cheap wind motor generators. I have found a few sources out of Asia (particularly China and Singapore) that manufacture this motor generators. I used clothes pins to balance the blades so that vibrations were minimized. I glued lead weights used in tire balancing to the back of the blades. I just walked into a Goodyear and asked the manager if I could have 20 grams of lead tire weights, and he gave it to me for free after I said it was for a wind turbine. I ended up balancing each of the ...
