@tmomof6 I posted here for 2 reasons. If you want to be green, and make a useful, energy efficient alternative device, one needs to learn the engineering behind it. If you just grab old parts and slap them together you won’t achieve efficiency – and it won’t be green.
That said, the engineering behind it isn’t that hard. In most cases all the challenging math can be reduced to basic algebra. Hopefully this post will inspire some ‘green engineer’ to run the numbers before their next project.
@tmomof6 Please read my very first sentance on this video…I started the rant with overall praise for people behind the channel, I think their analysis here is wrong though. Not sure where the straw man is in the argument? They are clearly endorsing the use of discarded centrifugal blowers as a practical way to harness wind power.
@viking1au, what is a ‘niggle’? Did you mean ‘pull’? I fail to see the point of your post. It is a viable MODEL for alternative power. Its better than what you have come up with. You can’t even form coherent sentences, use spell checker & try again.
@tmomof6 Did it really take you 3 months to attempt to have a little niggle? The title of the clip says it is an alternative power supply ; a “grabber” title line & it is nowhere like it. For god’s sake, get brain into gear, pu;; your pants up & give your mouth a go, idiot!
@NickBlackDIN, right. I think its meant to be improved upon. About the housing, i didn’t mean cover the whole thing up. That would be stupid. But covering half of it with an external box or a partial wall might minimize resistance created by the fan itself. But then that might not be necessary at all, especially if your going to use multiple units to supplement your power cells, house meter, whatever. I agree it needs improvement.
@tmomof6 housing wouldn’t make a difference accept for make it less powerful… but anyways. i agree with that it could be a power “padder” but since there designed to rotate at the lightest gust, (about the same amount a human can blow) i’d say it can’t generate more then 5 watts, 10 watts max. not verry useful, though a cool experiment. i’m not saying it’s a bad Idea, i appreciate what she is trying to do, i just think it could be vastly improved upon. cheers ^.^
@viking1au, I guess you said the same thing about Mr. Wizard & his hand crank that lit the 35 watt light bulb. This is a learning MODEL. No one is comparing it to ‘dilithium crystals’. Again, you are looking for a single source to replace your meter box which is naive & unrealistic. Even your local power company uses more than one source to generate electricity. Ours uses coal, water & nuclear, so to whine that this small fan won’t power a generator is childish. Where’s your vid?
@NickBlackDIN, , that could be compensated for with housing so that only part of the blades were exposed. & this is the type of system that would need several fans to function so minimizing wind friction would not handicap the system. Also you would only use it as a supplemental source. I think people get blinded trying to debunk a system because its not the sole source of power, the point is to embrace several sources to minimize detrimental consumption.
@ikedasquid, 2:47 “with minimal wind … captures a BIT of natures power.” She was saying that even a small set up CAN function. You are ‘nay-saying’ on straw-man arguments. For those of us looking for constructive ideas the model & explanation: inspire. What is your motivation for posting here? Do you think you’re being productive? Where’s your alternative? Yes, everyone here is such a moron they think they can power their home with a single squirrel cage fan…NOT.
I FRIGGIN LOVE YOU GUYS! I’ve been racking my brain trying to come up with a dirt cheap method to make a simple efficient vertical wind turbine. Why didn’t i think of using a blower motor…
i have seen a big version of this in action with no wind at ground level, even high up i could see very little wind in the trees and the turbine was going fucking fast as hell.
IMO the squirrel cage catch props will prove to be the most effective. As fans they always produced some of the best air thrust I’ve witnessed. Some modifications to the design would produce a universal catch prop.
WTF
@ikedasquid Like most ‘green’ ideas, it’s horribly inefficient and under productive.
wow, what a great idea!
“Before you rack your brain on a fancy design, why don’t you just check your local junk yard? They may have everything you’re looking for.” 2:47 Still not suggesting you power your house with it. They’re merely suggesting you look for the parts in a junk yard before you build something custom.
@Frostlander I disagree… 2:47
@ikedasquid You realize these do need to be bigger to work right? You honestly think they’re suggesting to power your house with used blowers? It’s obviously about the concept rather than the items dealt with in the video.
I like that small one……
I LIKE IT–IT IS SMALL–DOES NOT KILL BIRDS—–NOT EXPESIVE—.
umm yeah, wind is like a couple of times a week unlike my hamster that runs every night in its wheel, some veggies and seeds and reading lamp for a whole night =D
@bigshugdorman always somebody so negative
Cool Dan. Can you make a video of how to do the wiring and do you need an alternator, or motor to conduct the electicity, and what do you hook it in to.
Hamster power!
@barny084 looll, or maybe put hamster inside hihi
