Hi there. I'm planning to build a savonious wind aerogenerator on my balcony since I live on a 19th floor flat here in Scotland. I'm really interested on your battery bank and the type of batteries you use. Could you be a bit more specific about them please? Thanks a lot.

There are approximately 100-150 turns of wire per coil, I did not count them it was only important that they were approximately equal. The wire guage was 16. The generator design has a lot of trade offs which are hard to summarize or genernalize, so make quick designs and spend a lot of time testing if you wish to be successful. Above all have fun!

Hi Green Engeneer! Really great project and specially excellent atitude towards our and the planet´s health!! I´d like to know a little more about your coils. How many turns? Wire thickness and if they are all conected to each other?
Thanks! And congratulations!

Admittedly I don't know much about the natural sciences. Its funny I thought that wind was a result of the interactions of the system of pressure gradients caused by the cyclic heating of the sun and the non uniform thermal coefficients of the different surfaces of the earth (i.e. land and water). What you seem to be saying is that wind is a result of the earth spinning.

its technically not renewable your taking away from the earths rotation by converting it into eletricity

check out my wind power vids…

Internationalist investors don't like wind/solar energy(Cheney HATES them!),they favor wind power over solar because it can be worked onto the "grid". At first, few people would have their own wind turbines. Their big fear is that, once these sources of energy evolve, self contained units will take people off the energy circuit, dratically lowering profits.
Investors support nuclear, gas, oil and coal. Anything that can be served to the public from a central point for a set fee…owned by them.

Great video! This is the future right here. I like the way you kept it simple and in layman's terms.

It makes me wonder what kind of fool would oppose such a thing.

Well . . . if you are into projects like these you might consider that not everything is about money.

i.e. We do not currently have the technology to offer people the opportunity to buy cleaner air.

However I have a video which shows the overview of how the energy savings relate to average wind speed and turbine power ratings.

Thanks for the comment!

Please explain the economics a bit; how much do you save with this setup?

oh my god!! you are actually smart
just kidding you ****. you are such a nerd so go kill yourself alright puppit

My wind videos are a funny response to those who opppose wind power…

Awesome! Thanks for the info, very interesting, look forward to actually try and make one.

You should wrap it in carbon fiber !!

I didnt see the video. Youtube sometimes gets stuck and becomes a crock of ****. Mr. Youtube owner, when there are problems on the **** tube you better fix them.

Good job. Time for larger projects.

good stuff, how you have rated your turbine as 1.7KW? the inverter shown is about 200 Watts only.

I saw the same thing on the history channel and it is more like 10,000 sq. miles. 1 tenth of Nevada.

With that equipment you should have no trouble at all! Best of luck!

you make a savonius windmill at all?? its pretty easy to make, im in the process of making one of those too. i made regular pvc pipe wind mill and it works ok, i just have to put it higher to get it to spin better.
