This video shows a higher efficiency VAWT that is very easy to build. Drag type VAWTs are known to be very inefficient. By collapsing the drag element as it returns thru the wind, both the speed and efficiency are increased. Also very light materials are used and this makes it easier to support the unit. The generator can be located at ground level and this makes everything much easier.

Here is a link to more information about VAWTs.

The last 3 videos on the above playlist are about VAWT scams.

Here is a link to the WIKI article on drag coefficients.

In this video I show you how the aerodynamics of a (lift-type) vertical axis wind turbine work, and some of the design challenges and solutions of VAWT design.

01:47 Types of Darrieus/ lift-type vertical axis wind turbines
02:25 How to analyse helical and egg-beater shape VAWTs
03:14 Aerodynamic operating principle of a vertical axis wind turbine (simplified)
04:37 How the VAWT velocity triangle changes as the blade rotates
04:50 equations to find relative wind speed and angle of attack
04:53 Tangential force equation
05:58 Effect of tip speed ratio on VAWT blade stall
06:25 VAWT design challenges
06:34 Fatigue loading
06:59 Torque ripple
07:53 Design changes to overcome fatigue loading and torque ripple challenges
08:56 Effect of adding more blades
09:11 Helical blade design
09:34 VAWT blade pitch control
10:14 My opinion: Efficiency vs Complexity is a tradeoff
10:54 Niches where vertical axis turbines are better suited than horizontal axis turbines

For an overview of vertical axis wind turbines and the advantages and disadvantages compared to horizontal axis wind turbines see this video:
https://youtu.be/EM-gCvhQhPU

Further information on vertical axis wind turbines:
There is a section on VAWT aerodynamic design and analysis in the following text book:
Wind Energy Explained: Theory, Design and Application, 2nd Edition
James F. Manwell, Jon G. McGowan, Anthony L. Rogers
https://amzn.to/3as89sz

Wind Works by Paul Gipe - a very comprehensive wind energy resource (not just VAWT) including history and critical analysis of many commercial turbines:
http://www.wind-works.org/cms/index.php?id=116

Sandia research report: A retrospective of VAWT technology.
A summary of Sandia's VAWT research and development activities from the 1970s to 1990s. Describes in some detail all of the practical, commercial and design issues they faced. Highly recommended reading for anyone thinking about designing a VAWT.

In this project I will show you how to combine common 18650 Li-Ion batteries in order to create a battery pack that features a higher voltage, a bigger capacity and most importantly useful safety measures. These can prevent an overcharge, overdischarge and even a short circuit of the batteries.

Hi all, This is a quick video of my off grid system which powers majority of our bungalow apart from the kitchen.The whole setup cost approximately ยฃ2500 and has been up and running for the last 4 years without having any issues. The system has three panels connected in series giving me approximately 850 watts of power. The batteries are 6v each and are connected 4 in series giving me 24v @225 amp hours and then the same with the other 4, then both sets are paralleled together giving me 450 amp hours @ 24v. Just a reminder all our lighting throughout our home and TVโ€™S etc are LEDโ€™s and consume low power.
I also have a small DIY grid tied system which consists again of 3 x 285 watt panels powering the rest of our home throughout the day which I will do at a later date.
Both systems reduce our power consumption to approximately ยฃ50 per month duel fuel through the summer months.
Every little helps๐Ÿ‘

We needed to make power during night sails, so we looked for quality and affordable wind generators. We decided on Nature Power after a friend's recommendation, and tackled trying to install with little knowledge on electrical stuff. The controller ended up being faulty out of the box. After getting a new one sent from the company for free, everything worked as advertised.

This isn't a paid promotion. Hoping it helps anyone looking to buy this product in the future.

400 Watts at 800RPM - Can the little guy do it!?

With our turbine tower project stalled as we work with the City on getting a permit it was time to bench test the turbine and publish the results for anyone interested. I was able to test a few things, such as what wattage it puts out at the rated RPM, whether the turbine cuts out if the battery voltage is too high, whether the turbine will apply a brake if the voltage is too high, and what happens if you rev it higher than the rated speed! All of these will be tested against what Amazon has on the description page for this turbine, here are the key data points for this turbine:

Model: SHZOND 400 watt horizontal axis wind turbine (HAWT)
Rated Speed: 800r/min[RPM]
Rated Turbine Power: 400W/800W
Brake Voltage: 14.5V/29V
Battery overcharging Protection: 16.5V/33V(Turn off Load Output)


I tried to get all of the data on camera so you can see what Iโ€™m doing and how Iโ€™m getting the results. If thereโ€™s something I missed let me know, maybe I can make another video with some other bits included!

This is the turbine I purchased: https://amzn.to/2VUfRpE
Drill I used to bench test the turbine: https://amzn.to/2EobWXm
