the project in itself is great…also great fun doing it . Just a little observation if I may…. there are moments that we should come down from power tools . That is the case on this cross cut (transversal cut ) . with a hand saw would have been quicker, safer and better for you wouldn´t have to break it . After all the less we use power tools the less energy we will need and consenquentaly the less Co2 emission will be make… great clip though … take care all
how can i hook up 3 windmills with the (blue wind) alts all on 1 grid ,with the 3 wire, do i hook the 3 wires together before the regulator with 1 regulator, or the 2 wires after with 3 regulator and put all 3+&- to the batters please help
Sounds really cool. What Rectifier are you planning on using. I bought a few off of Ebay for cheap, from a motorcycle I think. Not tested yet so do not know if it was a good deal yet:-)
Dan – I’d venture to suggest that even a cheap backsaw, or even a hacksaw with an 18tpi blade, could do an easier and faster shoulder cut on that hub, without the risk of nicking the blade. A small try square, or even a plastic drafting square, will help get that 1/4″ hole perpendicular to the blade’s axis! Keep it up, and watching through your process, and it all looks very good so far.
I bought 40 1/2in cube neodymium magnets recently. They have 40lbs of pull each. I am planning on building a scale model, when I get back to the shop, of a wind generator that should power me 100%. We have about a dozen old marine deep cycle batteries my dad has been holding for me for about 6 years. I finally have the brain power to put it all to use now. I am dreaming of an axial design that uses multiple generators that actually stack on the axis. We’ll see what happens.

Use a drill press (if you have one) to drill the center hole. It will save you a lot of trouble.
holy crap that is cut perfectly…
this dude is like a fuckin’ genius who forgets how to tie his shoes once in a while… i like it.
Claytoons, do you know the difference between a master carpender and an amature carpender? How well you hide your mistakes!
Claytoons????? why don’t u fuck off…
I can’t believe what a wood butcher you are. what a hack. are you for real?
great video; but please check your google scripts/api; i have to repeatedly move my mouse over the video player for it to play!!

I’m broke so I haven’t got that far yet. My stepdad is the electronics expert around here so I’ll likely just take his advice.

It always amazes me to watch raw materials turn into something. The power of the human mind is truly amazing.
You gotta be careful though because TOO much “lift” effect in the blades can give you more than you actually want.
