Quazies Conversion Part 2
« on: June 13, 2006, 05:13:05 AM »
Heres the completed ceiling fan windmill.

How do you like the nose cone?

Slip-rings, blades, tail and discarded movie stars were added to the converted fan motor.

I used one phase to tell me it working. Here it is pictured in action. Bill

A really beautiful machine. Not only kids like this one.


Can you give any specifications?

That is fantastic!  I needed a laugh this morning.  Did you have to add an LED to his nose?  Nice work!

Brian, had to add a nose cone and this one was a toy with attitude. The circuit in the nose is a step down converter that runs on one of the phases. There are three white leds in the nose. This was done because I wanted to run AC through the slip-rings. There are only one set of slip-rings and I would have to add an additional ring. Bill

Looks brilliant! Nice to see the finished thing. I'm finishing off one like yours with HD mags and original 4 blades.
