This generator is powered with a smooth running 5 blade propeller! A new, improved 5 blade design makes the wind generator more compact, lighter and starts with lower wind velocity than a previous, successful, 3 bladed prop. The generator pictured, and its supporting tower, has been running and generating on the wind swept shores of Green Bay, Wisconsin for over a year with NO maintenance required! Great for marine use!
for remote hunting / fishing camps! |
Build it using basic PVC pipe, easy to find parts, and standard hand tools. This wind generator uses the housing and bearings from a standard GM alternator you can find at any salvage yard. The manual guides you through its dismantling and conversion to a PM (permanent magnet) rotor and stator assembly available on the internet. | |
