Vawt, New Wind Turbine

instead of using a belt, could you just install the ametek motor to the bottom of the VAWT

Hi my man. I'm planning to build a savonious wind aerogenerator on my balcony in a high building here in Edinburgh. Probably with a washing machine drum like yours. I intend to use the energy for heating our home. Could you please tell me the kind of alternator you use and where/how you got it? Also I'm really interested on your battery bank and the type of batteries you use. Could you be a bit more specific about them please? Maybe posting a video? ;) Thanks a lot.

good job

cheers andy, I do feel more confident at wellding now, in the end had to buy a more expensive welder, but in the long run it will pay for itself, it's quite windy today, and everything is going mad, just waiting for a blade somewhere to comme through the window lol, see u buddy, have you made the blades for your turbine, it really seems like a good little alternator, you will easily get 5+ amps in moderate wind, see u buddy, see u soon

welding looks good to me mate weld done nice vawt blue pipe is polyurethene high pressure pipe and the blue colour tells us that it is for water mais supply and the yellow one for gas supply these are good kit for hawt blades as have a good thickness to for the airofoil and can be fond with diameters of up to 36 inches or 900mm side walls of 20mm on the big ones any way great kit mate see ya soon andy marshall x

Cheerio my friend :) I have seen some people put the vault at the top corner of a building. Maybee the back of your shed side ways, because the wind hits the shed then climbs to the to of it. Just a thought. Great work, glad you did not see my first welding ;)
