Today, a self-made wind generator is often manufactured, capable of completely providing a certain structure with electricity. Humanity has learned to develop a current using wind power for a very long time, so over time some knowledge accumulated in the creation of such devices. However, before this had to go through a difficult path with a lot of mistakes and misses. It is necessary to know that at different times of the year the operating conditions are significantly different. A person who decided to create a self-made wind generator should be ready for emergency situations such as hurricane winds.
The choice is made between a horizontal or vertical variant. The second one is considered to be the simplest, while it has high wind removal rates. In addition, its balancing is much easier. A powerful homemade wind generator will have an impressive weight and a rather large diameter of the wind wheel. Before starting work, you need to make sure that all the main parts can be reproduced accurately. Do not use batteries intended for the car for the intended design, as they can not last for long, and are also explosive.
When constructing an improvised wind generator, it is necessary first to arrange a foundation in three points of the right size, determining all the subtleties of climate and soil. A mast with a windmill is mounted about a week after pouring concrete to give it the necessary strength. There is also a less reliable option, involving the installation of the mast directly into the ground, applying stretches. Further, a rotor is used, the diameter of which depends on the average annual wind speed. In some cases it is more efficient to use a large rotor.
Any homemade wind turbines should have blades that can be made from a conventional barrel. It, as a rule, is divided into four equal parts by means of a marker and a roulette. To cut future blades, you will need a Bulgarian or scissors for metal. In the future, the barrel prepared in this way is attached to the generator. Adjustment of rotation in the first place will depend on the accuracy of the arrangement of the bolts. The blades simply bend in different directions from the bottom. Thus, it turns out a simple wind wheel. At the last stage, a chain is assembled from the wires.
How does the self-made wind generator work? Everything begins with blades driven by powerful winds. This energy, thanks to the rotor, is transmitted to the generator shaft, converting mechanical energy into electrical energy . It is necessary to understand that the increase in the mast height allows you to better capture the flow of moving air. Energy production increases by about one and a half times, which sometimes is a tangible increase. It follows that a rather tall mast can eliminate the negative impact of structures and trees.
