Helix Wind

How I built an electricity producing wind turbine Several years ago I bought some remote property in Arizona. I am an astronomer and wanted a place to practice my hobby far away from the sky-wrecking light pollution found near cities of any real size. I found a great piece of property. One thing I noticed right away about my property is that most of the time, the wind is blowing. Let me state up front that I probably won't be able to help you out much if you decide to build your own wind turbine. Since no one seems to be reading the FAQ, I will answer the No. 1 question I get many, many times a day right here up front. Update: Here is a video of the wind turbine in operation. Update: Here is a video of me assembling and setting up the wind turbine on my remote off-grid property. I started the process of designing my wind turbine by Googling for information on home-built wind turbines. A generator Blades A mounting that keeps it turned into the wind A tower to get it up into the wind Batteries and an electronic control system . Finally!

Mreža za obnovljive izvore energije i energetsku efikasnost u Hrvatskoj - ZelenaEnergija.org Home Page An educational 3 phase turbine kit. Comes with everything you need to create a 3phase wind turbine. Great for science projects, learning about 3phase PMG alternators, and alternative energy. The kit includes 6 very powerful neodymium magnets. Check it out! The original 6 ft turbine with a car alternator and chain drive. The downwind turbine, a very small but quite efficient little unit. One of the original alternator modifications. Old projects that may be of interest Comes with everything to assemble it as shown As a dedicated "do it yourselfer" I put this site up for all those who share similar DIYS skills and convictions. I hope what I have here helps you in your endeavors in some way, big or small. This site is maintained using windpower and Solar. Thanks for dropping by and Welcome !

Community renewables are the most rapidly deployable form of green energy, because they require minimal upgrades to the transmission grid. Our Mission Statement Windustry's mission is to promote sustainable energy solutions and empower communities to develop and own clean energy assets. Our History Windustry has provided high quality wind energy information to varied audiences of farmers, rural landowners, elected officials, utility representatives, community planners, farm management educators, and bankers since the mid-1990s. Here's a timeline.

SUNATO d.o.o. - poduzeće za projektiranje, montažu i održavanje sustava za iskorištenje alternativnih izvora energije, električnih sustava te klimatizacije International - Our Vision Aerotecture International seeks to radically transform the dominant paradigm of energy production and consumption around the globe. Blending the concepts of aerodynamics and architecture, Aeroturbines are wind electric turbines designed to be attached to buildings or integrated into the very form of buildings. With Aeroturbines, buildings and other structures will not only consume electricity, but produce it on-site. Aerotecture Paradigm: where wind farms are big, we are small where wind farms are rural, we are urban where wind farms avoid buildings, we attach to them where wind farms seek single monster units, we deploy many units where wind farms are hundreds of miles from their 'users', we are right there
