Set up one at every water outlet in your house to charge up a battery. Get something back. Or a dozen mini wind turbines on your roof. I actually searched for this content, thanks.
@@ThinkingandTinkering rob you should see my shop after giving junk man two truck loads lol when are you going to build a inverter using pre made china board easy fun cheap and really good low freq inverter
Many thanks again Robert I love watching your videos. I intend to try and make a few wind generators. I always enjoy watching how you develop an idea and progress it to the next level.
That's a cool project. I live in a sunny place. What I've been yearning for is outdoor clothes tumbler/ dryer. Something like the tumbler cage used for lottery tickets. Something the sun can shine on as it's turning and tumbling my clothes. It could just use a small electric motor to turn it. I would plug it in.
no mate it doesn't - it uses the remnace of the magnetic field already in the rotor - it is a bit like an alternator - so a feed back of a starter current would help but isn't strictly necessary
Simple and Brilliant yet again Rob! what's better for a ratio change from the roll cage to the motor? : direct drive gears or tiny Chinese scooter chain and 2 sprockets? is there a downside to either that im not thinking of, apart from chain being easier to tension, than the motor/gear being positioned. clutching would also be easier with chain/sprocket, but is that even necesarry on this style of windmill? whats the best circuitry for converting the large range of voltages output at the different wind speeds to the one way diode for connecting to a battery bank? (these are more public food for thought than anything i need answered) lol
That's what everybody asks looking at my windmill. I wonder if quantifying electricity is within everybody's understanding. It's proof of concept, nothing else. Go build stuff, fail and try again.
Awesome I have a place for that! What happened to our wind? New idea for you Robert. " Solar Heater with your synthetic muscle power generator in each tube." I am planning to build it for next winter to help heat and power my house. If you beat me to it that would great to see!
*DEAR ROBERT* Do you know the new propulsion system for jetoptera aircraft? It is based on the same principle as dyson vacuum cleaners, and in theory they are 15 times more efficient than a blade vacuum cleaner, I wonder if that process could be reversed and use the air using projected on a dyson profile and that this was 15 times more efficient to generate electricity
Since it has no permanent magnets...does it simply start on some remanent magnetism left in the mild steel cores and sweep up from there? Must be... Since so many ebikes become ewaste I used a direct drive type, alu blades cut from irigation pipe pop-rivetted straight to the rim and the hub, spokes all still in place. Been running for more the 10 years now. Needs furling, limiting, static balancing and a rectifier but fun!
@@ThinkingandTinkering I've seen a few videos with the wind turbine where you've said you'll put it on the roof when it's done but not that actual video that showed if you got the output you whereafter in the real world. The wood gas generator was never connected to the generator to see if the project worked. Have I missed videos?
not yet mate - to be honest not that many folks want to see that - which is why it isn't a priority - they say they do but the viewing numbers on that kind of video show they don't really - so - basically I get round to it when I get round to it I am afraid - sorry
I just signed up to be a member today because I need some help and your videos are awsome. I asked a question here before paying for membership and it was taken off. I need help with experiment 994. I thought I followed it but I get only 0.4 volts when spun with a drill on the motor shift. Please help. I do not know where to directly email you. I am a new member just today.
For me the issue with renewable power is the storage of energy. So my goal is always to pump water up hill, to use its potential when other sources are unavailable. If you get a bit of time could you help me with that.
Water hammer pump. It will take 10% of the original water supply and pump it uphill. It will even pump vertically. And yeah it requires no electronics. Very Very easy to make.
I m thinking of a pumped hydro system, with a large storage tank at the bottom of my property, and a large storage at the top. Like 140 ft differential. I do not have access to The type of stream required for the water hammer. Wish I did.
Did you ask yourself why it's a generator ? It's not so obvious. Remember there's no permanent magnet in there no' re is there initial current there to turn either stator or rotor into an electromagnet. Why does it start generating without magnetic field in the first place ? It actually starts due to earth magnetic field. In theory it should start with reverse polarity if you rotate it 180 degree. I never tried that but you might. Anyway, it's a series motor. Generation will depend on magnetic field generated, so current, so the electrical load you connect. Your multimeter 'll be 10 Mohms or so and that's a very small load. If you connect a 200 ohm/100W load or so I think it will produce serious power at high RPM.
I really really hope your not that comforatable with fine dust particles from a vacuum. I despise the inhalation hazards of anything that comes from a used old vacuum. Masks for this are more needed than covid IMO.
One man's junk in an inventors treasure. All you need is a vision and a purpose.
Short and sweet. Makes me really wish I had stopped to pick up the vacuum I saw sitting on the curb a week ago.

You are a master I love learning things from you!!
thank you, from Cape Town South Africa. much appreciated. have a desk full of dust but first experiment is successful!

awesome
Does the motor have a magnet in it? Otherwise, would seem you had to add power to the coils and yes, I do not know much about them.. : )
no mate it doesn't - it uses the remnace of the magnetic field already in the rotor - it is a bit like an alternator - so a feed back of a starter current would help but isn't strictly necessary
I was wondering the same thing. Robert has answered. I think permanent magnet motors are more efficient.
Would this vacuum motor be a better generator than the original motor that powered the fan?

Instead of a hairdryer, perhaps use a leaf blower or something else.
cheers mate
@@ThinkingandTinkering your welcome. Its just a idea.
Trip to the tip :) It nice little project. :)
Thanks for the video!
cheers mate
Does this motor have magnets and if it doesn't can you add them to get more power
How much current does it produce (short circuit current and like a phone connected to it)
That's what everybody asks looking at my windmill. I wonder if quantifying electricity is within everybody's understanding.

Those could be used for makeshift electric bikes as well. 0,5 - 1,5 kW is plenty for a bike.
My tumbler runs a hetty the hoover motor thanks to you lol 😆
Got the same hoover in my garage, ready to break into pieces. Was trying to use for vacuum table but couldn't get enough power out :(
I love it! I have 2 junked vaccumes I've ripped apart now and I'm looking to do the same thing. Where did you get that larger roll cage?
from a scrapped HVAC unit - it was in the car park of my local supermarket and they said I could have it
Will this work on Henry?
Are you ever going to finish the other wind turbine or wood gas generator video series or are the final parts of those done but for members only?
Always benefits of being a member. Cheers
they are finished projects mate - pretty much the only outstanding thing is Bessie

What's the difference between a Harley and a Hoover?
Location of the dirt bag.
Nice camera I can see your meters now
They throw them away when they are full of dust, or if the colour no longer matches the curtains.
Can you take a Bluedri Hepa air scrubber 550 motor and turn it into a wind turbine?
Hi Rob.
Great video as usual.
And what about the bigger vawt you made before, is it on the roof?
cheers.

smart drive washer motor looks like a big stator thats the one you need i will send you one if you cant find one
Next time use a N95 mask... To protect you from the nasty small dust particles...
maybe 3 would be better lol

How about a horizontal flywheel a mile in size? Be fun to walk on, too.
So it looks like all that vacuum needed to get vacuumed.

Then. Turn an old citroen cv into a dodge charger....
Isn't exploration Great. you should check out large paper shredders, they have gears and un-motors, plus all kings of useful bits..
Was this also for under $100 😂😂😂😂
So how much energy do your vawts produce lmao
Dirty job, stripped a couple of these - the vacuums that pet owners' dump are best avoided, yuk!
This video I don't understand.
I'm saddened by this.
The vacuums cleaning the floors. But who cleans the vacuums? 🫠
