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. The problem is, it's so remote that there is no electric service available. 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. I reduced the project to just five little systems. for only $26. . Finally!
Funny Looking Tower Generates 600% More Electrical Energy Than Traditional Wind Turbines
The Sheerwind wind turbine promises to produce 6 times the electrical power than traditional wind turbines. This funny looking wind tower acts like a funnel, directing the wind from any angle, down through a tube to a ground based turbine generator. The funneling of the wind through a narrow passage effectively creates a “jet effect” increasing the velocity of the wind, while lowering the pressure. This is called the Venturi Effect. This speeds up the wind turbine mounted inside the narrowest portion and generates electricity. As such it can capture and generate electricity at a much lower wind speed than current wind power technologies. The idea is so simple, so elegant, and promises to produce so much more energy at lower cost and more efficiently, that it might just be the answer to many problems with current wind turbine technology. Imagine a smaller HOME version on your off grid cabin. Conventional wind turbines use massive turbine generator systems mounted on top of a tower.

Wind power
Wind power is the conversion of wind energy into a useful form of energy, such as using wind turbines to make electrical power, windmills for mechanical power, windpumps for water pumping or drainage, or sails to propel ships. Large wind farms consist of hundreds of individual wind turbines which are connected to the electric power transmission network. For new constructions, onshore wind is an inexpensive source of electricity, competitive with or in many places cheaper than fossil fuel plants.[1][2] Small onshore wind farms provide electricity to isolated locations. Utility companies increasingly buy surplus electricity produced by small domestic wind turbines.[3] Offshore wind is steadier and stronger than on land, and offshore farms have less visual impact, but construction and maintenance costs are considerably higher. Wind power is very consistent from year to year but has significant variation over shorter time scales. History Wind energy Wind farms Feeding into grid Growth trends
ChemEngineering - Wind profile power law
The wind profile power law is a relationship between the wind speed at one height and the wind speed at another height. The power law is often used in wind power assessments1, 2 where wind speeds at the height of a wind turbine (about 50 meters or more) must be estimated from near surface wind observations (about 10 meters), or where wind speed data at various heights must be adjusted to a standard height3 prior to use. Wind profiles are generated and used in a number of atmospheric pollution dispersion models.4 The wind profile of the atmospheric boundary layer (from the ground surface to around a height of 2000 meters) is generally logarithmic in nature and is best approximated using the log wind profile equation that accounts for surface roughness and atmospheric stability. The wind profile power law relationship is often used as a substitute for the log wind profile equation when surface roughness or stability information is not available.
Pulser pump
I give permission to reuse and adapt any and all pictures and animated gifs that I have produced in the past for this project. Brian White, 3rd May 2010 Diagram of a Pulser Pump The pulser pump is a simple, water powered mechanical device, also known as a bubble pump. Components of this pump have been used for various purposes, including the extraction of oil or in refrigeration cycles. [edit] Background Information [edit] Overview The pulser pump is a combination of a trompe and an air lift pump. The pulser pump simply uses the trompe part to power the airlift part. [edit] Benefits As mentioned in the Introduction section, the main benefits of the pump are twofold. Secondly, the pulser pump has no moving components. [edit] History Trompes were used before hydroelectric turbines to pump air into mines, to provide air for the pneumatic machines that made some of the first alpine tunnels and to provide air to drive motors that lit the wealthy parts of Paris in the late 19th century.

Solar car
The Sunswift solar car eVe, which holds an FIA world record and in 2016 will be Australia's first road legal solar car A solar car is a solar vehicle used for land transport. Solar cars only run on solar power from the sun. Solar cars combine technology typically used in the aerospace, bicycle, alternative energy and automotive industries. Solar cars depend on a solar array that uses photovoltaic cells (PV cells) to convert sunlight into electricity. Chinese solar panel manufacturer Hanergy plans to build and sell solar cars equipped with lithium-ion batteries to consumers in China.[4][5]Hanergy says that five to six hours of sunlight should allow the cars’ thin-film solar cells to generate between 8-10kWh of power a day, allowing the car to travel about 80km on solar power alone.[6] Maximmum range is about 350km. Solar array[edit] The solar array consists of hundreds of photovoltaic solar cells converting sunlight into electricity. The solar array can be mounted in six ways: horizontal.
