EZ Wind & Solar Solutions

My Air-X Land 12V wind turbine is up and running. Connected to 2 Xrantex portable power packs (65ah batteries and 1500w inverter in each pack), on a good wind day will charge the batteries from dead in less than 12hrs, usually takes 2-3 days in average winds. I have it mounted on a 27′ pole with #10awg wire to the base where the power packs are located. The system runs my 16 – 11 volt deck lights, 2 strings of 100 LCD patio lights for a few hours at night, electronic bug zapper all day, charges all my rechargable tools, flashlights, camera batteries and has lots of power left available for runing small tools like my drill and weed wacker when needed.

My version of the 55 gallon drum Vertical Axis Wind Turbine. Savonius? I am using two bearings with a flange which holds 4 carriage bolts mounted on a frame made of 2×4s. The inside diameter of the bearings are 1″. I am also going to try a 10″ diameter pulley to connect a belt drive to the generator(dc motor). I just got it mocked up for the first time today. I have the motor, rectifiers, and capacitors ready to install. If it produces 12 volts in a moderate wind then I will try connecting it to my solar/wind charge controller and a battery bank for a small off grid system. The bearings also have a grease fitting. The man at San Antonio Belting and Pulley Co. was very helpful. It spins freely but it takes two small oscillating fans on high to maintain about 20 rpm. If I set the fans on medium it will spin but much slower and it eventually stops altogether if I put the fans on the lowest setting. No, it won’t fit out the door. I have to remove one set of barrel halves and the temporary braces before I can remove it from my living room. The motor I am using as a generator weighs 25 pounds. I am going to mount it at the top of the frame and put a cover over the top to protect it from the elements. I ordered another motor/generator which weighs 40 pounds which I may try to see if it will produce more power. It would be easy to connect two generators to the shaft but I don’t know if the turbine will be powerful enough to spin them both.

I probably should have looked for cheaper bearings but I spent $35.00 each for these two. i also purchased a pulley which was $10-$15 as well. The one inch pipe and electric motor/generator only cost a few dollars ($6.00) because I paid twenty cents per pound scrap metal prices at the steel recycler. My wooden frame which originally was supposed to be temporary is beefed up a bit with corner bracing from Lowes/Home Depot. The barrels are connected together with three 5/8 x 6 deck boards cut in 20 inch lengths and 1 1/4 inch deck screws.

In this version with one inch diameter axle I realized it is much easier to emble the turbine if you drill the one inch holes in your barrel before splitting it in half. My turbine has 50% overlap and the axle holes happen to be exactly 12 inches apart on center.

I was suprised how quiet it is. At least when I spin it by hand. I have yet to test the turbine in the wind. Generator and electronics are not installed yet.

Now this is how its really done. This turbine can produce roughly 20-40 thousand kW/h per year.

H-rotor with (too large) savonius as start aid. Built in an outline frame.
The blades are 50cm long and 16cm wide at a turbine diameter of 90cm.
The flat side of the airfoils is inside.
It is driving a brushless direct current generator using a 72:12 (9:1) drive ratio.
Ball bearings are taken from inline skates.

This is my first attempt at a wind turbine. It is a lawn ornament at the moment (no power generation). I will follow this up with a video on construction details and power generation.

Notable is that this cost less than $100 in materials so far and that the largest part of this turbine is recycled materials (the PVC drums previously held Balsamic Vinegar from Italy).

Also, this was turning pretty well in a very light wind.

Axle: 3 inch PVC piping from Home Depot
Bearings: 5 inch lazy suzan from Lowes.
