Building a wind turbine - save electricity

!±8± Building a wind turbine - save electricity

Many people have cut down on alternative energy sources like windmills and solar panels to change the cost of electricity and air pollution. Wind turbines can be very expensive to buy, but if you're really interested, you can build your own wind turbine, here is what you need.

Tools Required

Saw

Sander

Drill

Materials Required

Cement and sand bags

Plastic PVC pipes

Bolts and nuts

Sails / blades

AGenerator

Batteries and power control system (PCS)

2x4 board

Belts

Aluminium heavy plates

5-inch flat washer

Electric cables

Instructions

To begin, start with the sail / wind turbine blades, take the PVC pipe and cut to create your sails / blades. The blades have a particular way in order to catch the wind, then follow a leader are shaped for cutting instead of the knife. Use the cutting edge and then use the sandersmooth the edges of the blade to make it more effective.

A hub is required to accept a connection of the blade so as to insert the blade and holes. Then the corresponding holes in the leaves and nuts and bolts that connect the blades to the hub and set aside.

The next is the cable that keeps the mechanical parts of the wind turbine. For a generator can make your own if they occur, so do not do, however, is simply an easy option for the purchase of a DC permanent magnetEngine and use it as a generator. They want to be classified as a motor that has a low speed, but this is a good amount of power to the assumption that your wind turbine is about 5 feet in height to give the engine should be about 30 volts and about 325 RPM.

Once you have a generator for wind energy system must be both the blades and the nacelle will be mounted. For this, take the piece of 2x4 board and the straps and belts to operate the motor at one end on board and a 2x4 piece of PVC pipeCable and protect the engine from the elements. Back up to work the heavy aluminum plate on the opposite side of the 2x4 as a tail to the wind turbine. If necessary, cut to fit properly. Finally, attach the blades to the motor and driven machine, the wind turbine is carried out.

PVC pipe or aluminum is probably the best choice for a tower. Everyone you decide to use, dig a hole and the concrete tower in the ground. The base of the windmill is now around the tower fromTower, the foot is simply a layer of concrete placed around the tree. When it dries place sandbags around the pole in order to further stabilize. You can also attach to the tower guy lines for added security. Drill a hole to run in the side of the pole near the bottom for the power lines from the engine on the PC.

The PCS is used to transfer energy from the generator to the battery for storage. While the PCS can be done, it is better to buy an alternative energyStore. The wires must be connected from the engine, down through the tower and the PCS, then more wires are needed for the PCS, to connect the batteries. Please make the necessary connections, and the windmill is ready for work.

You can use 2 flat washers, if you want one before and one behind the sail / blade for added safety.
