Man I cracked open a couple of beers ready to watch something random —
some dude making a motor with a tin can… one hour later here I am in a
head bake!!! Really interesting videos though and good work, cheers!!!
Hey, I think you can make the turbine spin faster if you put in thinner and
even more outer vanes. And then design the inner vanes to have more
“scoops” to catch more wind and more efficiently. More fast = more
electricity, yeah?
thanks for all the videos, they are awesome, but there is one thing you
have to put in advance…13.9 v which is stored in cap. is the max. voltage
not the average voltage because the 2nd have cycle will be off..the average
voltage is calculated by “max voltage/PI”..and this is the value you can
see on the multimeter if you connect the o/p directly to the
load(resistance)..
thumbs up!!! thanks for sharing this great videos and ideas you have. im
lucky enough for my location here in the Philippines is quite a wind
pathway out to china sea. when will the next video coming? more power to
you and will to drive this project,,,, awesome
Would having more magnets and coils be better than the generator itself
turning faster? Like if you had a large turbine, would it be better to make
a larger generator, or use a smaller gear than the turbine and increase the
speed?
Chris, your videos are exactly what I’ve been looking for. Thankyou. I have
a few questions. 1) What size magnets are you using? 2) How do I configure
magnets / coils to produce dc power? 3) Can I adapt your designs for use
with some type of water wheel propulsion? 4) Would smaller guage wire and
more windings provide more current? I already have a 12v 2500w inverter
system with 4- 120w solar panels and 8 large 6v batteries. I have an
abundant water pressure. What would you suggest?
Just watched your videos, they’re great! A bit slow maybe, but what you
show is really interesting. When is the next one coming? Keep up the good
work!
I can understand the time constrain, but you should surly have drive as so
many people are waiting for it… :-).. also is there any alternative to
magnets ? I saw in one video where he generated magnetic filed from just
copper wires by giving some external power…dont exactly remember it.
thanks for your reply Chris, how much power will it generate? I am not
technical so answer in om or volts won’t tell me anything 🙂 may be
something like it can run a motor or ac or bulbs for entire house etc would
be helpful …thanks again…you have inspired me to build one some day….
Oh man, this is so cool, thank you for sharing

Thank you very much for these series of videos! Really helpful and
intertaining =) I have one question: How do you find time for doing all of
that?

i dont get it yet… how many coils turns i should do?

I don’t understand why there’s minus2Ud in the Uo math scheme, while
there’s 2 diods. is this about polarization?

I’m not going to build a generator, I’m just enjoying learning what I
should have listened to at school.
