WIND TURBINE BLADE DIY How to Video Part 1 HAWT Windmill Wind Power
By
This is the actual DVD I have. Please watch all 10 videos before trying this yourself and BE CAREFUL. TOOLS ARE DANGEROUS. WARNING WARNING DO AT YOUR OWN RISK:-) We use pine for our blades but there are better woods available. If you use Pine, seal with a water sealer then apply a clear gloss enamel spray. This basically waterproofs the blade.

@GREENPOWERSCIENCE also what ive seen that works really well is a polyurathane 55 gallon drum cut in half and offset around a vertical axis on bearings attached to an alternator..

I would reinforce the PVC piping with 2x2s. I heard that they can snap in half in higher velocity wind.

Yes that is a good choice too. Not Easier, but a equal or better choice. Look at this channel:

PVC piping looks easier to make blades with. what are your views?

what is the striped thing in the back going up and down??

Yes, it produces about 100 watts in stronger wind. I had to go to the beach to get 10MPH. We have wind breaks at our house from trees.

Hey boss, have u tried to hook this up with an alternator and produce voltage?

Great video, it would be nice in future videos if you were to tell us upfront what materials and hardware we will need without having to watch the whole set of videos. Other then that keep making these gems!

Dan!!!
How’s it going? Bill Zimmermann here in San Diego. Love the new video’s! Really enjoyed the video of the plug-in inverter. Also building the turbine blades are great.
Keep it up!
BTW Earth4Energy popped up as an ad on your video’s. We discussed how much of a scam they are. Why do they pop up in your videos?

your video are great i learn a lot,thanks for posting

I’m pretty sure that this works like an airplane wing in which case you will get the best drag to lift ratio at a 16 degree angle. Hope this helps, either way I’ve watched a lot of your videos and am quite impressed. I’ve been wanting to build a wind turbine for sometime now and I’m thinking about trying out the dual squirrel cage idea but how can I connect the copper coils to a spinning fan?and I’m very curious to see if any gains could come from a rare earth magnet motor using a Halbach Array.

HI Dan !!!! , great vid !!!! , heres a tip for wooden props , when they are stopped try and get them to sit close to horizontal , this way WHEN they take on water it will effect the balance less , maybe a small extra wheight on the hub would do , anyway great vid again Dan !!!!
