wind generator for off grid, 2000 W, 240 V
Переглядів 4013 місяці тому
Starting to go a little bit off grid. I'm not fully disconnecting from the grid. But, there are a lot of things that can be powered in the home using wind and solar and a back up battery. This should eliminate the need for a gas generator for one or two days when the grid is down. -2000 W -240 V three phase wind generator -Rotor diameter 123 1/2 inches

This is a wast Oil burner that I’ve been building for waste vegetable oil and diesel, for my home foundry.
Super cool Matt!
Thanks for this content.
getting closer to the launch! seems a quite reliable tower. I hope you will get most of the wind blowing from the lake
It is actually a very windy spot, about 80% come from the lakefront. I actually purchased two of the 2000 w turbines. If this one works really well, I'm gonna borrow some of your designs from your new towers.
Getting there... Looks good. It was nice to finally meet you at rust fest this year
Hello from Spain. Thank you for the video. One question if you don't mind. Why did you buy the 240V model? Aren't you going to use the wind turbine to charge batteries? Cheers
Yes, the batteries are 48 V. The wind turbine is 240 V three phase AC. At 240 V, the 150 foot cable only needs to be rated for 7 A. I'm going to be running 12 gauge North American TECK cable. This can handle up to 25 A. The wind turbine will be about 150 feet away from the inverter.... And in the future, I might upgrade to the 5000 W - 10,000 W wind turbine. If I do go this route, I will go to 380 V wind turbine, and I will still be able to use the same cable. The cable that is underground is still rated for 20 A and up to 600 V. So for future planning once the cable is laid, it is cheaper to go with higher voltage over the long 150 foot run then to change out the cable. This is easily done by buying a step down transformer inverter. They do cost maybe $200 more, but it's way cheaper than replacing and digging up the line. So if I do go to the 10,000 lot turbine, this will push out up to 450 V at about 23 A. The TECH cable is about $8 per metre, so I would need about 46 m.
Great idea, but aren't you going to need a controller at least 96V? Don't think a 48V one is going to be a good idea. I think it will be on break most of the time because the wind turbine is going to output more the 48V. Maybe the loses are goong to be less than you think. But don't listen to me, I am not an expert. Thanks for the video😊
I am glad that the goods have safely arrived in Canada, and the sea freight time is a bit long.
im still waiting for pt 2 🙂
. . . Right from China ? You gotta know without any doubt, this wind turbine is a total fraud.
Very cool Matt Matt
❤❤
Hydro bills the way they are these days, who could blame you? Shhould be fun to set up and get it going. Long time no see by the way. Thanks for putting me onto Ottawa's best kept secret a few years ago when you uaed to post on the home foundry forums by the way - I didnt make it to the great canadian rust junkie fest that year but I was there last year and definitely gonna be there again this year. I'll keep an eye out for you in case youre planning on making it out again this year too.
Yep I plan on making it this year
@@omm7763 thanks again for putting me onto it a couple years ago. See you there!
@@tobhomott year it is on July 13. But you're more than welcome to show up July 12 if you are camping and you don't mind helping out clean up a little bit.@jackEnglishmachines Hopefully Jack will chime in.
Cool Matt! Hope to see it in action
Yeah shouldnt have to spin it by hand
hehehehehehe @0:10 he said nipple
hehehehehehee @0:36 he said shaft
Thank you sir for helping me install my 1.5 , inch pillow block bearing
Thanks
Your dresser is broken. You shouldn’t be turning it by hand.
Bro this my favorite setup yet after seeing hundreds that looked ugly. nice job
It has been a minute since I've done one, your video helped remind my old self how its done again! Thanks bud!
Someone keep that man away from these beautiful old machines my God what the hell are you doing? Used motor oil has no ability to help cutting it has no ability to prevent rust from the water there's no rust inhibitors in your ketchup bottle use real coolant and cutting fluid and you don't need it with aluminum anyway please stop now and walk away from that machine before you destroy it. I restore these machines and I've been doing it for 30 years this makes my skin crawl I can't believe you would do something like this to a beautiful old machine go buy some real fucking coolant
I'm really glad you can view all the comments. As a perfectionist you probably read that I am using Castrol super edge 4k???
Sorry for the bother.. exacly which driver are You are using for turn on the engine? And i would like to know how many hp have the engine?
Have you ever heard of a tripod?
Thanks for the video! Can this bearing be used to absorb the thrust from a prop shaft?
This bearing is traditionally used for static thrust. Or gravitational thrust. It was never designed for linear thrust.
Thank you so much ❤, that helped me a lot....
I did not know any of this, thanks!
Can't believe I'm the first like and comment on this video. Thanks for the input. Going to give my upcycle sourced mini Crucibles a shot, but not going to put too much faith in them.
Awesome! These things need to be mass produced! There must be in excess of about 100 people who need one for their PK or PP!
Yes please.
You tube won’t play this video. Can you upload it again?
Try it again. It works from my end fine in my country.
Dont know what i did to piss you off . I can be kinda a handfull at times i guess . Im sorry if i offended you in the past
Hey brother, no big deal. I've developed dozens of burners too. This is one of my best burners to date for handling chicken wing WVO.. Very simple with no clogs. I use a small air compressor to pressurize the fuel out of the refrigerator. I use two different air pumps. The first one is a four stage turbine that can provide 150 CFM through a garden hose. The second one is a ring compressor that can provide 220 CFM through a 2 inch diameter pipe. I have a video on how this burner is constructed. You should watch it. ua-cam.com/video/5ihvq6ojkTA/v-deo.html
Thanks, wasnt sure if the lock nut on the shaft was for the bearing or a spacer to stop the shaft from sliding through the bearing over time. It was indeed a spacer and I confidently wacked the bearing off.
my 😘
Funny I never knew of EDM till I restored my Martin T75. The hand wheel for rise fall and bevel was held on with small but hard rivets. I ended up taking it to a shop that used a wire burning EDM machine to burn them out. The shit you learn from this machine love..
How to prepare cutting oil, what are the ingredients required
You go buy some real cutting oil
What to do if you have engine lathe with break?
Wire the normally closed electrical toggle switch that is attached to the brake pedal in series with the three wire control.
@@omm7763 my lathe got clutch, no jog function. So did you mean to mount toggle switch to engage together with foot break? I can't find any wideo how to wire this combination and its very confusing for somebody who just start research wiring vfd. Sorry bout noob questions
@@sebastianochenkowski2665 if you have a clutch, usually that is mechanical with the motor still spinning. If you have a foot break, usually there is an electronic sensor to disengage the motor power and then apply mechanical braking. Maybe shoot a little youtube video and post a link with your next response. I will need a good visual of all wiring. Where in the world are you located?
@@omm7763 I'm in uk. And my lathe is colchester triumph 2000. I didn't get vfd yet cos I thought the only way to go in my case is rph. But I have seen video yeaterday made by "Worldtraveler - 2 speed lathe on a vfd" and trying work out how to do it. I can send you manual with all wiring diagrams and I can order vfd right now just need to find out with one is good for 7.5hp motor 240 input.
@@sebastianochenkowski2665 I was the one who assisted him in the wiring schematic. Somewhere in the video he thanks me.
I wish I was a kid in your class.
Drill press envy... I love seeing those old machines, very nice.
Wow, look at all of those parts. Glad it works. Just remember though, "The more complicated a machine is, the more apt it is to fail." (an old Mechanical Engineering saying). By the way, that's not a foundry that's a furnace. What's the difference? Well, imagine someone enters a shop where Mechanics work, the person sees a hydraulic lift and mutters,"Wow, that's a big garage!" The hydraulic lift is a piece of equipment in a Garage just as a furnace is a piece of equipment in a Foundry. Your tidbit of information for the day.
Yes, you are very correct. The foundry doesn't even need a building, Just a place that castings are poured. At least I didn't call it my home Forge. LOL.
Good explanation. This will prove very helpful to many guys. Thumbs up Matt!
It's really pretty dry, but I hope helpful to someone.
Thanks Jason!
Cottage, not home?
you bent it trying to get it off without Jacob wedges.
Actually, we were doing a end of year clean up at one shop I was working at. The CNC operator programmed the wrong tool in the carousel. Instead of being a 3/8 ball nose. Small bump on the side of the 10 x 10 x 10 block. It was put in the trash bin. So, it was a bit of a dumpster dive. Sure I could've used wedges if I had some. But I had a $.10 bolt instead and the slide hammer and welder I already owned.
Do you think the venturi effect from that blower would be sufficient to draw motor or vegetable oil through there? Might have to figure out a pressurized fuel tank but I'd definitely prefer not to.
I do burn WVO. But I do pressurize the tanks to 40 psi. I also pre-warm the WVO to 50°C using a engine block heater.
Man, this is a really killer design! I'll have to figure out the veins without a shim punch but apart from that I think I'm gonna run with it. Thanks!
I applaud you for all the work you've done here, but, It seems way more complicated than it needs to be. Why so many Mf's for start caps. What size motor are you running? I'm starting my 5hp 240v 3ph with (140Mf/330v) start cap that along with some run caps to even out the phases works great put through a 240v contactor and momentary switch for the start cap on initial start up
20 hp. I think I stated that in the title. Been running for three years. ua-cam.com/video/9A98ky6nBCs/v-deo.html and ua-cam.com/video/gs-wPZOLc2A/v-deo.html It's nothing special. I just built it off my scrap stuff. But it runs my machine shop. It also has an output of 600 V three phase, For my half dozen 600 V three phase machines. figure them apples out. I'm no inventor. The boys at practical machinist forum have been doing this for over 30 years.
SLICK! Great idea
Thnx 4 help
Smart solution for centering the fuel line and also guiding the air flow.
I enjoyed watching the burner build as well , well made foundry with many intricate parts and they all fit together perfectly. Well done Matt.
I used one of those blowers for my furnace. It had a 3 phase motor and was run on single phase without any problems. The only problem was I did not have a vfd to control speed so I went back to using a vacuum cleaner to provide air for my furnace.
In my "dream" permanent set up building (when I get to it), I'm going to use this blower on the VFD and a small gear pump for the fuel delivery on a VFD as well. Now, I just need to figure how to put it all together.
Is this used oil? I tried this with Castrol Edge and my results are slightly different.
At the end he says it is water soluble oil.
@@ArvizuDesignFab Yeah he should have said that in his video............
