video - home made DIY turbine

[gsw999]

Here is a video of my first real stab at making a turbine, a few things could be improved upon but its working well attached to 4 batteries when there is a bit of wind , need to get a proper rectifier as this one i'm using has gotten wet , I also need to built a setup to house everything properly and maybe a charge controller.

I realise the battery / inverter setup is unconventional I just want to have emergency electric plus charging of tools etc / laptop for my home office its just good to see it doing something.

its tough to give too many comments, but the noise in the background is too much for me...
(is that music??)

Nice!  Time to get a proper controller hooked up and get that switching automated.

...its just good to see it doing something.

You bet it is... thanks for the video.

the music was the jigsaw running that was the whole point of the video:), still learning about electricity and have a long way to go

Is that a three phase rectifier?  If it isn't your only getting part of the power

The machine itself looks to have five blades? This will also limit your high end production.
