Sitting here looking at directions to build a wind turbine generator. I have an old 5000 watt
gen that the motor locked up, and I'm thinking I can build a verticle wind turbine. Being here
in Oklahoma we have plenty of wind, you know between Kansas to the north and Texas to the south.
Anyway, I'm just finishing a bowl of Dunhill Flake, and feeling a lot smarter than I am.

Last night, had some Bryan's English Shelf Blend in a Savinelli Trevi 320 while sitting around the fire pit.
I kinda looked into that because it sounded fun to build a wind turbine. I was going to do it out of cut in half 55 gallon drums. The trouble with any of it is that if you have an AC generator, you have to somehow regulate the RPM to a constant 3600 for a 2 pole generator or 1800 for a 4 pole generator because that's where the 60hz frequency of the AC comes from... then, assuming you could accomplish that, as soon as the wind dies down your power goes away. Sounds like a PIA to me. Then you have the option of generating DC and using a bank of batteries and an inverter. That will give you reserve capacity plus 60hz but the cost of maintaining batteries and electronics far outweighs the meager value of the electricity you'd get from the thing. I still might build the contraption some day but instead of turning a generator, I think I'll hook it up to a cam and drive a well that keeps a big-ass stock tank full of water for the critters.Quote:

I've decided that for the moment I'm too ignorant to build a wind turbine.
I'm gonna swing by walmart and get one of those twirlly things to entertain myself.
Ignorance isn't a bad thing, just a good excuse to visit the library.
