If you're looking for a cool alternative energy project - no doubt a very cool bonding project to share with the kids - then building this vertical axis wind turbine has got to be right up there. Just don't expect it to go powering your washing machine anytime soon (output is roughly estimated at 50 watts) - but hey, you've got to start somewhere right? The turbine is based on the use of 4 inch PVC pipes, cut in half, for the blades with the blades mounted on bicycle rims. The structure is…

Building a Vertical Axis Wind Turbine ( VAWT ): When building this turbine we will be using some powertools.If you are not used to working with powertools ask someone who knows how to use them.After building this turbine you will still need you fingers so.PLEASE BE CAREFULL !!!

In this project, you will learn how to build a mini wind turbine that can complement your solar generator system. The wind turbine serves as an excellent backup power source during periods of reduced sunlight caused by cloudy weather. By harnessing the power of the wind, you can ensure a con

Wind turbines are devices that extract energy from the wind and convert it into electricity. Typically, a wind turbine's main component is its rotor, which is made up of several blades mounted on a central shaft. As wind blows through the blades, the rotor turns. The rotating shaft drives a
