Some of it is gettinga bit dated - especially the stuff about brakedrums.I am teaching workshopcourses in wind generator construction, here in Scotlandand also in the USA and Wales. See my coursespages for many stories and pictures of homebrew windpower.Details of how to buy my bookson home built wind turbines

I am going to use some rough scans of a few tables from mybookWindpowerWorkshop chapter 1, which will help you with the overalldesign of your wind machine. I am using scans because theoriginalfiles went in the sea with my computer back in '97.

The first table tells you how much poweryou can expect from a wind machine, when you know how big it is,and how strong the wind is.Readers in the USA should note that one metre diameter is about 3 feet,and 3 metres is ten feet.

Wind turbines are usually designed to work best in the range 3 -12m/s,but windspeeds as high as 12m/s are not common (everyday) occurrences,so don't expect to get such high power outputs often enough to bereliedon. It is usually a good idea to avoid very high power (highwind)operation altogether, unless you plan to use the machine for heatingpurposeson rare occasions. To avoid damage in high winds, you will need agood control system which reliably protects the machine from the wind'sfury.

In terms of what you can run from thewindsystem, the average power is more useful information. From thisaverageyou can then work out how many Amphours of battery charge per averagedayyou might get.

Following through our example of the 2 metre (six foot is 1.8m)diametermachine, and choosing a tip speed ratio around 6 we find that themachinewill run at about 600rpm. This leads to the biggest problem inhome-builtwindpower. You will not find an alternator or generator whichwillgive your required power (250 watts) while running at that speed. Soyouwill either have to use gearing to change the speed, or build or adapta special machine. The second option is the better of the two.

Book DescriptionHave you ever wondered how wind turbines work and why they look like they do Are youinterested in adding wind power to your off-grid electric system, but have been put off by the highcost of equipment and installation Well, now you can build and install your own wind turbine!Harnessing the wind can be a tricky business, but in this groundbreaking book the authors providestep-by-step, illustrated instructions for building a wind generator in a home workshop. Even ifyou don't plan on building your own turbine, this book is packed with valuable information foranyone considering wind energy. It covers the basic physics of how the energy in moving air isturned into electricity, and most importantly, will give you a realistic idea of what wind energycan do for you--and what it can't.

Small wind turbines, also known as micro wind turbines, generate electricity for small-scale use. These turbines are typically smaller than those found in wind farms. Small wind turbines often have passive yaw systems as opposed to active ones. They use a direct drive generator and use a tail fin to point into the wind, whereas larger turbines have geared powertrains that are actively pointed into the wind. 153554b96e
