“Wind Turbine” “VAWT” Long Version
“VAWT” “Wind Turbine” Feel “free” to use any of these “concepts” in your “windmill” designs. The wing or plate that swings on a vertical rod has been around forever and the rest are just “conceptual designs” that I came up with. An engineer proficient using AVIs stress analysis application could determine structural integrity issues using these drawings. Who knows; maybe someone will perfect this “design concept” and build them to the same height as the large HAWTs. I (think) “Vertical Axis Wind Turbines” have the leverage potential to produce more power at lower wind speeds. I am amazed by the large HAWTs and many of the modern VAWTs but I hope that engineers, innovators and last but not least, financial risk takers will continue to find ways to lower the required wind speed. Constructive comments are welcomed. If you do not have any, Yes We Can! works for me. Thanks for viewing.

Note; All of my concepts are just first attempts to show potential for a low wind speed system. This also helps me to improve with Autodesk Inventor. I make this point in all of my videos but every once in a while I’ll get some crazy comment and it’s always clear that they didn’t read the description or any comments but it makes me wonder if most people think I’m trying to sell my wild concepts. Ha! This is simply a public collaboration experiment pertaining to alternative energy.

WORLD RECORD: BIGGEST WIND TURBINE
Visit: windturbinecarriedbywheels.weebly.com
ZERO-NOISE from gears and generators since they are sealed underground.
SAVES THE BIRDS AND BATS since slow-moving.
DOES NOT NEED TO OCCUPY A WIDER LANDSCAPE since the turbine can be very tall.
MAY BE LOWER-COST since it may use timber and other cheaper things.
ELUDES HURRICANE FORCE since the blades automatically close.
NO FIRE since well-cooled.
HELPS THE WIND ENERGY COMPANIES since it is FREE FOR ALL.

Thanks! This was my first concept and I have considered drawing it out with much longer arms to increase the torque potential. I can visualize long arms similar to a sailplane’s wing. The longer arms would also reduce the required wind speed. Please check out my channel to see a variety of concept videos I have created. I’m almost finished with a new design that I’ll upload soon.

Belive it or not Free energy is real,But the Big corporations spend millions to ensure that information does not spread to the masses,Get a real free energy motor at LT-MAGNET-MOTORdotCOM ,Let the revolution begin!

Free Energy is real but the coverup is strong, if you are interested in a REAL free energy machine then
just search for the LT MAGNET MOTOR in the youtube video search , it is probably the ONLY working magnet
motor out there. Join the free energy revolution!!

Please take a look at my FAVORITES section to see similar designs. My objective is to promote alternative energy and my videos may be published on any web site. Thank You

I appreciate your interest. Yes, many concepts shown here are my unique designs but there are several people working with similar ideas which all have unique features. The flap wind turbine is not a new concept but innovators continue to find improvements. Hopefully, there will be several different types that will operate at lower wind speeds and be cost effective.

I agree. I have many improvements in mind. Thank You

In fact, this turbine design does not suit for high rotational speed, as the blades need conditioning time to quickly park and catch wind energy. And such, it is advisable to stiffen the shaft(reduce the shaft with gears), make the blades spin slower. Great idea.

At this point, the low speed leverage concept is still just a concept as far as I can tell. If the required wind speed for wind turbines could be reduced by 4 or 5 MPH, then many more areas of the world could utilize the potential of the wind.

Thank You for your comment. I think there will be several different types of leverage based wind turbine designs. Hopefully there will be low cost models that might come packaged as a kit along with large high end models. Of course, Cost Versus Efficiency will be what determines the success or failure. That is the big challange!

I was thinking that an autonomous computer controlled transmission could adjust the gearing automatically.

One potential advantage of a slow turning system is reduced noise output.

I “think” it would produce sufficient electricity at lower wind speeds due to leverage. Of course, the concept designs I show would all be slow turning, high torque wind turbines and would require a transmission to convert the slow speed back to a sufficient speed for the generator to operate.

Its really awesome, I’v never seen anything like this..well is it possible to produce sufficient electricity by this wind turbine??

Yeah, CAD is fun and a great way to use your Imagination. There are some really nice programs out there. I used Autodesk Inventor and Working Model 2D. I have a friend that uses Sketchup and it does a nice job for his purpose. Thanks
