My battery, solar and wind generator setup
Got some emails about this. So here it is. Hope it helps. Comments welcome. 10 Trojan T-105 225AH Batteries 2 Home Built Charge Controllers 1 ProWatt 2500 Inverter (5000 surge) 1 Black & Decker 750 Inverter (1500 surge) 2 Home Built Horizontal Wind Generators 1 Home Built 70ish Watt Solar Panel Other crap and a mess Also selling Custom Fab Wind Turbines, Charge Controllers, Charge Controller diagram, blades and more at www.jl-energy.com
the charge controllers look like power packs from a pc how did you make them and might i say a fine set up you have there
I Like the Idea of a vertical blades. I have just converted a 340 twin cylinder 2 cycle engine into a generator. Now I am trying to think of away to make a cage or some sort of style of vertical much like the shape of an agitator, you find in a washin machine?
Thanks. I actually dont really work in the electrical field. I build the wind turbines though.
Great set up. What kind of work do you do Im guessing you work with electricity rihgt? Give you mad probs really like what your doing.
good combination…., i want to built wind generator in small scale, would you help me to give macth specification generator, baterry,regulator or ect, cause wind on my country the wind not to hard.
dude ur setup is great, could you show how you should hook the batteries together for the best efficiency, it is kinda hard to tell how you have them hooked up in the mess of wires
Great work! I’m following along the same path as you on most of this. What did you use for the frame on your solar cell? and where did you find the inverter and batteries?
horizontal wind turbines change direction with the wind as well if they have a tail or mounted in a downwind fashion. like you vid.
How to you make the charge controlers, if possible can you make a video or email me instructions. and cool vid
The simple but not suggested by nec code way to connect a inverter or a generator to your panel is to get 12-3 s/o cord from your inverter or gen hard wired into your panel…..now land them on a 2pole 20 amp breaker and install your neutral white….ground….green….then land your black wire on the breaker ….then put a jumper across both screws /phases KEEP BREAKER OFF a good tip is to get the proper lock out tag devise for that breaker LOCKED I
Im gonna be making a video here soon and Ill try to explain how I did it in there. But basically all I did was put in a transfer switch which allows me to switch from gid power to battery/inverter power. Also made sure that they were completly isolated from each other so there wasnt any interferance
I would like to know…How do you hook your inverter up to your panel..Know one cam give me a straight answer..I have the same inverter you have..2500/5000watts. 120v
could you please send me or give us a link to build the charge controllers?
pretty please..lol
I hope you have a related profession. You certainly have a skill here.
Sure. Im going to try and make another vid soon with some of the upgrades .
Thank you for posting this video!
You can use Magnet Alternators/AC motors and use bridge rectifiers to convert it.
Why don’t AC motors work with wind generators? If I build bridge rectifiers to convert the AC to DC shouldn’t it work just the same?
I would not use inverters, they pull to much amps for higher loads. This is another why to power greater power output, using far less amps.
Did you get it going
I put adds on craigslist
Batteries I paid just over $500 and the inverter was $85 used
Small ones make 140 watts and bigger ones make 300+ watts. Cells where about $100 I think
Where did you say you can get those motors and stuff from?
Nice set up bro!
nice set up, obviously put some major money into the batteries and inverter
