Ceiling Fan to Wind generator conversion demo

Filed under: Videos |


A video on the ceiling fan to wind generator conversion I haven’t made a full working one yet this is a video describing basically how people are converting them over to a low rpm wind generator….

  1. with the wires, theres a set for low speed and a set for high speed then a
    earth.
    you should join the high and low speed wires so you get 2x output, or like
    1.75x

    but nice vid, im gonna go make a vertical windmill gen using this as the
    alternator

  3. Take computer hard drives and remove the magnets. Very strong and free!
    Perfect for ceiling fan generator.

  6. In this setup you are throwing away half of your voltage. You are only
    converting half of the voltage waveform to dc.
    Do this instead, move your capacitor to after your rectifier. Add a second
    capacitor in *series* with your other capacitor. Hook up a switch
    connecting the midpoint of the two capacitors to the input of the
    rectifier, and hook up your load to the output of the capacitors. You’ll
    see your output dc voltage double when you switch it on. Yes, it is dc
    voltage.
    That will turn that half wave rectifier into a full wave rectifier.
    Finally, adding an additional capacitor as an ‘input filter’ before the
    rectifier input should totally smooth out that dc wave form.

    This is why they want us chasing the smoking gun so we are not spending our
    time
    Inventing ways to really hurt them by hitting them in the pocket and
    becoming free from teranie
    Come on people pay attention! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  8. Does more magnets mean more power?

  9. Use an old 24 alternator, bolt large fan blades on it and presto! You have
    a wind turbine.

  11. When you say ‘bashed the magnets out of this’ (implying free)… and then
    ‘expensive magnets’ I had to chuckle a bit. 1) if you can avoid it dont
    directly hit a magnet, it will kill some of its properties. and I was
    curious if the orientation of the magnets tot he outer body and one another
    mattered. Like figure out + and – obviously both sides will stick to the
    body but maybe alternate those inside. But then you covered this… I like
    the way you approach theory and walk through it but I was hoping for more
    of a hot wo. you have a ton of vids on this out there.

  12. Oh.. and you are referring to the “insulators” of the motor… but you are
    actually talking about the cores of the coils. These are made up of
    laminations, or layers of iron. The purpose of these is to allow the
    magnetic field of the coils to flow better and be directed exactly where
    they need to go, because magnetic fields flow much easier through metal
    than thru air.

  13. You were right the first time. It’s a generator, not an alternator.
    Generators use permanent magnets and don’t need any input current.
    Alternators have only windings and need some current to create a field and
    then make electricity.

  17. Ceiling fan is not waterproof or dustproof so it won’t last very long
    outdoors without protection.
    Use a full-wave bridge rectifier.
    Connect a capacitor after the rectifier to reduce flickering if driving
    LEDs. (A capacitor in front of the rectifier serves no useful purpose.)
    If charging a battery, fit a voltage regulator after the rectifier.

  18. hello and a very nice presentation. I am from Europe and for my bachelors
    degree I made a windmill with coil and neodymiummagnets. These magnets on
    size for the ceiling fan can be found in Germany. They are not cheap and
    they break easely. The firm has neodymiummagnets in so many sizes and send
    to all the world. The firm is called Supermagnete. You can glue them on
    your ceiling fan with TEC 7. But Be Carefull they brake easelyHope this was
    some usefull information to this video. Greetings Luke Belgium (I don’t
    work for the firm or dont have pattents… just discovered it on google)

  19. In my opinion with the demo, if you hook it up right you can make a bulky
    hand crank light.

  20. Here is an idea folks, get a bunch of these together and stategically place
    them up the axis of a vertical mast wind turbine instead of a traditional
    horizontal plane turbine.

  22. hello richard; I think with your drawing you need also a voltage regulator
    with a thyristor, transistor and resistance. Wind energie is not
    controlable and the sinusoïde is not suitable for direkt charge to a
    batterij. The rectifier bridge is perfect but this is only the beginning.
    That is why I asked your drawing and I thank you for your nice response

  24. I was just thinking… since there is a high, medium, and low set of coils,
    if you combined all three of them, would that theoretically double the
    wattage?

  25. would you get any advantage from going 4 pole, 3 phase … and rectify to
    DC for storage?.
