| Hi Y'all,
I am just startin out, I will have many questions as I move forward with my project. I am sure that I am not as smart as most of you out there, but I am not stupid ether. I intend to figure this out with or with out your help! I do hope it is with your help, it expect it will be less painful, both physical and monetarily! My brother and I have built the 10' home brew wind turbine and have followed it to a "T" on the metal work. I have made my blades out of 12" dia 3/4" thick PVC water pipe. I will try to put pictures on this to show you what I have done. I helped my brother make blades from 12" dia. 3/16" thick PVC drain pipe. I can't decide which I like best, both work well so far. We have not put a load on either so far. I am fully prepared to make wooden blades I am a wood worker and can make them with no problem. I picked up a set of magnetics yesterday N40 grade, instead of the N35 listed in the plans. I tried to post a question about using N40 vs N35 that last night. I either did something wrong and did not get it posted or I was kicked out because I did not follow the rules. No matter, I am moving forward. I have decided on using a 48V system and bought the wire for that today. I have had a lot of fun doing this with my brother so far. I live just south of Dallas TX, and he lives near San Antonio, TX. so this has given us something to work on together as a fun project. We did the metal work at his shop in San Antonio and he came up to my shop to do the blades. we will start the coils here next week. Here is some of our pictures. If I can get them to load.
