We are going to built a wind generator using a hub motor..
This homemade wind generator is built by using permanent magnet brushless hub motor from an old hoverboard.
The hub motor can be a good generator as it produces sufficient voltage even with a quick spin of hand. So in this project we dissassembled an old hoverboard to use its brushless hub motor as a wind generator.
We have made a customized adapter to fit over the hub motor and act as a holder for turbine blades. Thus the blades will help the motor spin as the wind passes through the blades.
The wind turbine is able to produce 150 watts of power with a wind speed of nearly 5 to 7km/s.
Since our hub motor produces a three phase alternating current so to make it more useful what we are going to do is to design and built a three phase rectifier circuit which allows us to convert three phase AC into DC output.
The schematic, gerber files and the list of components for the rectifier circuit is avlaible here:

The max air speed was 7m/s and not km/s.
that is like 15mph/25kph. I have to wonder how much more efficient it would be with an off the shelf rotor/blade assembly.

Is project was buying how much
Would you please tell us how much clio wat could this design produce? Does he need batteries to store it, or does he go directly to the house?
@@aravindasamym2762 Look online for second hand hover board, A wind controller can also be purchased for less than $30 suitable to this amount of power. All in I bet you can build the whole unit for less than $60, less if you find one broken and build the controller yourself from their PCB link
It's amazing how easy it is to make your own electricity from scrap parts when you have the knowledge to do so. Great video!
*If your happy with 30 watts sure.*
I especially like the use of pvc pipe to make the blades, very smart. I would give them a uv resistant paint job though.
. 9om?.
?
.9om? What.?
DIY King, love what you two are doing. Please keep us posted on all the dual-use technologies out there. People needs to see these things and know how. Thank you.
Do not worry about the Haters and Trolls. Their job is tried to deceive and discouraged folks like you to educate the world at large!!!!
I found your project incredible because it shows how cheap and viable it can be to create your own and thus also invites others to give it a try.
For extra accuracy tighten all three of those chuck holes on the drill press. Great video!
Los felicito por su proyecto tan bien elaborado,son muy profesionales,sigan adelante
As an experiment it's a good video and has been low cost. As all the other comments say, would be nice to have a follow up video to see what has been learned from the design e.g. Did bearings survive? Did the metal parts require any maintenance, what power did it generate. Ideally what people want is a low cost design to produce about 1 to 2 kWh per day minimum
Nice design! I love how you used all the salvage parts from the hoverboard, even for the vertical spindle. Very good.
This is a good video and good videos does not need background music.
Simple voiceover is better
@@Davisurena yes dear you are right.
Agree!
Nope, I think the music and the level is good. Excellent video.
I simply can't understand why people use music in technical related videos.... you either mute sound or let natural sound come through....personally I either refuse to watch the video or turn off sound altogether if it turns out to be a really good one !
Great job guys , you've just shown how to obtain extra power with a little bit of effort put into creating something worthwhile .
Hi guys, I'm an ex service engineer from the UK. I'm so impressed by your skills and ingenuity. Congratulations this is impressive. Rob
I like your patience, perseverance and creativity when making your project. Greetings fron Argentina ♡♡♡
Well done really appreciate the talking instead of all music
Your actually good unlike the others that make a paper plane and attach a motor and a switch and a batty to it. It’s also good because you don’t make click-bate.
This is Genius. I hope you are getting the recognition you deserve!
WELL DONE BROTHER KEEP MOVING FORWARD YOUR RESEARCH AND......
GOOD LUCK 🍀..
Nice! it looks very strong with all the metal parts youve used.
Very cool and well done project. I do want to make a suggestion about keeping an eye on that motor/generator because the bearings in it are not tapered roller bearings...they're plain roller bearings which are designed for vertical downward thrust...like standing on the hover board, but with wind power, that thrust is now pushing horizontal and not vertical, so those bearings might start to wear out much faster than normal.
Still a great build and fun project, but just some thing to keep an eye on and repair as needed before it fails completely and ruins the gen head on you. Keep up the great work.
They are ball bearings. not likuku.
This is very cool!
I’d like to see your take on one of these
Really wonderful guys
You are are doing amazing job.
Solar and wind power is free energy which do not cause any pollutions
Brilliant - 7:08 that must have been a great moment for you. Great work.
where is the test video ???? ...fake wind generator ..?????
no not at all where is your proof test is already there
I can dig it. Presented well- I did cut the volume but I still believe it was done well. Have fun guy 😀
I love the effort and zeal put into your work. Well done!
I love these videos because they motivate me and I see how viable sustainable energy is with which we can take care of our planet and pocket.
Congratulations guys, transforming useless things into useful tools!! 💪🏽 well done 👍🏽
Great way to make the turbine blades! 👍🏼
First time I see video of indian acting naturally. Not showing up at all.. serious.. humble.. all the please .. tools are using it is new and clean.
Thank you for the Great video and for changing my Idea.
I like it a lot. Only miss multimeter efficiency test.
Good job!
cant do nothing when you try to take curent wheel ill be blocked because of the magnetic field.....
awesome project. Well done!!
Very good DIY video, you made this wind turbine in a very smart way, thanks bro
Very smart to use PVC pipe for blades. I never would have thought of that.
I’m a mech engineer and own a software business - This is SO well done!!! You guys are amazing!!
I needed this info to settle in my mind for future similar project: to assemble blades with an old generator motor (with the gasoline part detached)
Interesting project! How much money are you gonna invest t? I think it's better buying one istead building one, because many people doesn't know to much about it and the most important thing , people doesn't have enough time. How much energy do you want to produce ? Remember the place you're gonna install it is super important. Here in this blog you can fiind tips for installing it cuttingedgepower.com/blogs/solar-projects/where-is-the-best-place-to-put-my-renewable-power-system
@@CuttingEdgePowerLLC hi Sir, I just came from a short vacation and now I have time to respond to you properly. first, thanks for the link you posted it includes a very general and important knowledge for beginners in this area 👍✔.
to your questions: first I threw away that generator because it caught a lot of space in my roof, it was heavy and clumsy and I have some other projects on the table before that. As a replacement I have two car alternators that already rectify the 3 phase triple sine wave to a direct voltage of 14v which is more convenient for charging a car battery.
On my roof where I live there is a higher roof for my neighbours solar water heaters and there I can place a sturdy pole that will hold this alternator and the wings, it is quite high. I expect around 100w
(or more) to get from this system that should add to my 100w solar panel that I already use.
I might add another Trojan deep cycle battery in conjunction with mine or as a backup for my RPI computers with the screen that runs by an 12 to 220v inverter.
whether to buy or DIY? I prefer doing things as much as I can, this way you learn from your mistakes and experience on the way which is priceless, I neither have time surplus.
Hi@@ronen124! No worries for that. Thanks for answering. yes, the info you can find there it's super useful. Thanks for answering my questions. I agree with you the generator was super big. Good replacement for it. Right 14V are a good option for car batteries. How many car batteries do you have? Wow 100W it's amazing. I believe it's good use solar panels and wind turbines at the same time. Because you're gonna have power 24/7 . Do you use the same batteries for both? We have a battery tha can be used with solar and wind at the same time. It's ready to use and you don't need extra connections cuttingedgepower.com/collections/power-house/products/1200w-mppt-rolling-solar-generator-with-1000w-inverter-and-wheels-portable-battery-box
I agree with you. When we do things by ourselves we learn more and of course we learn from our mistakes. Once again thanks, and Merry Christmas !
@@CuttingEdgePowerLLC yea, now at the winter I hardly have enough power to run my dedicated cameras raspberry PI 24x7 + some more small devices. Maybe it's because of the fact that my battery starts to get old, it is 3.5 yo now and as I mentioned before it is not car battery its low depletion batt that cost 2-4 times the cost of car battery (cost me around 350us$ back then) because it can handle total voltage 100% depletion not like car battery that will be damaged by such harsh use.
I have only one batt for energy accumulation yet it's much better to have at least 1 more for redundancy, one for each charger but as a conscious DIY person - I started small..😄
I expect to to invest only at the 1 meter and big diameter and thick PVC pipe to make the blades, I plan to weld small flanges to the pulley of the alternator so it will hold them strong. at that roof my neighbour left a sturdy satellite holder anchored by heavy bricks to the floor so I can use it to hold my generator.
Merry christmas 🎁🎅
@@ronen124 I'm glad you have enough energy for this winter. The battery usefull lifetime is around 4 to 6 years. It is a good battery and it worth buying.
Yes, it's much better having more than one battery. Just in case you need a replacement.
It's good starting a project step by step and then you see the result and you can decide if the investment worth. In your case it did and you're thinking about more renewable for your home what is amazing. If you need something we can help with don't hesitate to contact us www.cuttingedgepower.com
i really like this project! with my school we are doing one eolic generator with recycled materials. its so cool that this is so easy and cheap to make and we also are helping the environment. keep up with the hard work👏🏻
Pretty awesome really. Weldone guys, watching from ireland
Dude that was sweet, love to have one myself
Make 100s of them and sell electricity to govt
can you use the gears to increase the rpm?
Yes but torque would drop too. So perhaps larger blades or deal with smaller wattage with less breaking parts. This would definatelly need a brake of some kind as it is. Maybe electrical coming from charge controller or automatically tilting tail when the wind is too high. Latter would require some calculations but with the power of internet search engines...
@@Teknopottu hoverboard motors have hall sensors on them. So, by this you can use an esp8266 and set a maximum rotation allowed. When this is passed a mechanical brake can kick in or a servo can change the position of the tail maybe? It is not that hard.
@@huseyinozsut9949 Seems like s very good idea and not too hard either. Kudos.
Parabéns pelo trabalho concordo muito com vc 💯👽
Great video and project! Resourceful and quality craftsmanship!
First step.. Turn off "music "
Seconds step.. Watch video
The music is overused 🤧
@Jon Doe You're so innocent, i actually envy you.
@Jon Doe it's fucking everywhere
@Jon Doe ur blocked
@Jon Doe u no like customers.
Nice video, it would be nice to see some actual performance data.
Visit the instructables blogspot the link is in the description below the video.
Power output is the most relevant figure in this project, and it's missing. Well, from a long, long page, in another faraway server, I found this bit of information: "The generator is able to produce nearly 150 watts of power (12-15v at 14-10 Apms) with a wind speed of nearly 5 to 7 m/s"
@Jon Doe ...?
@Jon Doe People just wanted to know the actual output, calm down.
@@kf8113 😂 😂 😂 yupp... Why he's so rush anyway? Lol
Awesome construction. Brutal music.
Project is LOVELY. KEEP it up, you have done it .
Muito bom o projeto mas faltou a parte mais importante é quantos volts, potência. Faltou as medicações das grandezas elétricas.
all we like is there no background music becouse we all like the sound of working
who agree with me?
I entirely agree
Me
You guys are very smart. Thank you for sharing.👍👍👍
Awesome guys! Cant to build one in the future! Thanks!!!
Excellent
Nice work, you got my subscription, Some tips, weld a stiffener on the back of the turbine tail bar, it is flopping a lot, at that leverage it will put unwanted high amplitude vibration during high wind velocity and may cause shorter life span over time.
Also, it is always important to discuss electrical power in terms of watt power = volts x Amps, not just to mention voltage as it needs amperage to obtain useful power.
Liked your work. Thumps up.
Thanks for the good words will definitely try to work on considering your suggestions in my upcoming videos
How do you plan to conduct output current through full 360 degree circle azimuth variations?
Wouldn't a very low or zero electrical resistance load be enough to slow the generator rpm to a safe level if it was found to overspeed?
@mako man I had intended my comment toward whoever mentioned it spinning too fast whenever it's too windy. If that wasn't you then maybe it just went in the wrong pidgeon hole.
@@DIYKingSaM لقد بذلت جهد ممتاز ووصلت لنتيجة طيبة استمر بالتوفيق
Great starting, improve for more efficiency. Welfon
BRILLIANT GUYS!!! 👍🏻
Seems really good, and I never thought of using a hover board for the motors, however this needs a slip-ring unit in it so it can spin in any direction without tangling the wires.
Yes! This is very important!
Very nice project! I'm wondering how many RPM's the propellor's are spinning at when they produce the 12-15V and 14-10A. We are planning to use a similar wheel to generate electricity from a playset.
Turbine blades using PVC pipe !! Creative idea...nice !!
Loved this so much..wan to work with you..I have no idea about work..but u guys really inspired me .
You need to build a slip ring system to keep the wires from twisting and breaking.
Great build guys!
Very intelligent, keep going guys, very good!! Congratulations you are very smart!!
5-7km in a second windspeed, not bad 🤪toughest storm i know😂 thx for the vid!
Its mean was hour
Well, the video is ok. But the background music is not! Anyway: Thank you for shareing the video!
Incredibly creative 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽.
Wonderful and informative! Thank you!!!
Well, reduce the blade lengths.... It will increase the rpm and u will get more power with ur current setup
Hate the music. Loved the cleverness.
Loved the music!!!
Guys you are creative. Keep posting more videos on power Generation. Just simply WELL DONE
Yes we love these kind of projects
Congratulations, bro!
Nice
Good job. I would be really interested to know how much energy was generated by this DIY turbine in a year, how much noise does it produce and if it has survived the rain and other environmental conditions.
as he said it was producing around 150W of energy at that moment. If we take an average of 100W then we get 2.4kwh of energy in a day or around 912kwh a year. Or as we say, you get 2.4 units a day and 912 units a year which is pretty decent especially considering you can make this for less than 10,000 INR
.
Great job
Thanks for sharing
Wow... simply amazing! Creation from creativity.
Love the solution for the blades !!! Briliant !!! Clean execution of parts !!! Now, tail ned to be storter and stiffer , but you all ready now that, slip ring has to be used, and lastly, how about automatic brake for high winds ?
Ignore coments about music, keep bright thinking😎👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Tail seems too large for this size windmill.
Have you made a windmill before and does it save money on electricity
@@zachariahmagallan5738 no , unfortunately , but it is on my list for long time due to research , yours blades are great idea , one of the best so far!
-Баллансировка?
-Не , не слышал...
Great work guys, the build looks very professional, though I would probably use some kind of plastic instead of the wooden part.
Absolutely amazing job! I want to start a homestead and have been looking for build ideas for power generation. I will definately be saving this video for later!
Wind and solar are the easiest dependijg on where you live and hydro is amazing if you have flowing water
Bro I need to this want two same same size can you make for me two more
Bro mere liye 2 two fan banadenge plz charge jitna lageda I will pay ...
@@ilenastarbreeze4978 yhujmmniygyyyyyuugb
Thank you so much for sharing Amazing video!
I wish if you shared with us one or more things:
1) messing the electricity on real time
2) how you connect that wind turbine to electrical devices, or at least how can we plug and charge our phone 😁
Looking for your future videos inshallah!! Thanks
can we add a gear system in this to increase the rotation which results into producing more energy?
Bro
You guys are awesome
You have nailed engineering skills very well
👏👏👏👏
Great to see such stuff from India 🇮🇳 👏
You didn't show the voltage and ampere produced by it and how where you use that power despite this all video was amazing like a professional
Sorry for that as its difficult to cover all the things in such short video.
The output was connected to our inverter to charge the batteries. At max air speed which was 7m/s we were able to produce 150 watts(24v and 6Amps)
@@DIYKingSaM Clean recycled intelligent 150W ! Congratulations 😎
cause that motor is too musch cogg of magnet not an easy like freewheel so its hard to spin by averrage wind condition so im sugest to make this into hydro turbine and see amp draw by water force or see a video named "The $50 Water Turbine" may be next project proof
put a simple bulb 12 v ...imediatly will block wheel
Voltage variable con la velocidad y amperaje variable con la fuerza de torque , yo usé uno igual y comienza con 3 volt ac y algunos2 amp y con 300rpm sube a 12 volt ac con 5 amp y con 800 rpm
5:08 where can i find specifications on the PVC blades cutting details?
I've seen some software application being used by russians in another such UA-cam video.
Amazing, beautiful, inovated😎💪👌✌
Muito bom amigos !
Um forte abraço de um amigo Brasileiro
The day youtube provides a button to disable background music will be a great day in technology...
Great job. vertical type wind turbine might be more efficient. As the turbine need time to move to the air flow direction and that time it decrease the speed of the turbine.
no
Men after my own heart ❤ wish we could hangout and just build stuff I been repurposing all my life if I couldn't afford it I built it..but almost no one in America is ever motivated to do anything anymore thanks for your video and helping me not feel like I'm the only one!! ..
Congratulations! I love your generator because it has a Lot of creativity anda precisión.
U uploaded after like a decade.
Yups just busy setting up the new workspace and yes lazyness...
"Badass engineering "
Very good guys. Top workmanship. 👍👍👍
Quality work. Great video... Cheers
Do you have some sort of protection built in the system if the wind gets a little bit too strong? I highly recommend it. For the safety of the system and the people around.
There is protection there already with the capacitors and PC board from China to regulate against overload issues.
@@namkebanyanklaritiI mean rpm overload protection, not electric overload. .
Well done man , what's the output (V , A )
I think between 12-16V 15amps but with 3:1 gwar it can produce way more electricty about 400-500W
Nicely done! Looks like the blades might need a little bit of balancing. Could start by weighing each blade (with supports and screws) so they're all equal and then when mounted gravity will point out the heaviest.
Amazing work
if u provide a data sheet of performance of this turbine it would be helpful.
#btw Thanks for the good project
You will never see this.
I make a similar one, with 2m.diameter and i don't have more than 10V in good wind condition (10m/s)
Seems like the motor magnets with the load is too much for spinning the turbine freely... also seem like lot of vibration towards the building... but of course better than nothing.
Mto bom parabéns
Its a nice effort and piece of work but i was waiting till end to see the data results come out of turbine and also a very special part.
You didn't show the voltage output of project.
