Autodesk Inventor was used to create this project. The total height is 212 feet which is about half the height of the largest wind turbines. The control surfaces are 62 feet long by 12.5 feet wide. The overall objective is to create low wind speed concepts and learn new CAD skills. Like J4 and J7, this model could be considered a robotic wind turbine. A common microcontroller would determine exactly when the servos move, how fast and how much. At low wind speeds the deflection of the control surfaces would be greater. An obvious drawback is that the stepper motors or servos will use some of the energy. In this simulation the cam linkage is offset by 15 degrees to prevent both arms from reaching dead center simultaneously. One of many possible improvements is to add a third lever arm! This would require a good bit of time but the basic idea is to have two lever arms balanced at angles with the third arm balanced vertically. This would prevent the arms from crossing paths along with other obvious benefits.

WORLD RECORD: BIGGEST WIND TURBINE
Visit: windturbinecarriedbywheels.weebly.com
ZERO-NOISE from gears and generators since they are sealed underground.
SAVES THE BIRDS AND BATS since slow-moving.
DOES NOT NEED TO OCCUPY A WIDER LANDSCAPE since the turbine can be very tall.
MAY BE LOWER-COST since it may use timber and other cheaper things.
ELUDES HURRICANE FORCE since the blades automatically close.
NO? FIRE since well-cooled.
HELPS THE WIND ENERGY COMPANIES since it is FREE FOR ALL.

@kiwiglobaldude Thanks for your response.? I have several other concepts on my channel if interested. Good luck with your system and feel free to post a video of your design here.
Hi windgin , very nice mate ! . a? couple of points , the angle of attack is way too much and your video shows both vanes/wands/wings transitioning the TDC/BDC where there is no power available [ one would need to use a flywheel ]
I designed a water powered generator on the same concept , having watched the self steering vane on a yacht for many miles at sea . One vane needs to be powering the other through the transitioning stage .This would also mean self starting.
@izzzzzz6 Thank You for your reaction.? I don’t know if this concept would be cost effective. Maybe something like this could be prototyped on a small scale. At present the required wind speed for traditional wind turbines to become cost effective is in the 14 MPH range. I hope that new low wind speed designs will be developed for areas that don’t meet the current wind speed requirements.
this defiantly solves the problems? of noise and birds/bats getting killed, but it’s going to need a strong gearbox and how much wasted energy would there be in such a gearbox?
Nice demonstration!
ok, nice
