Visit Blog at http://berezin.com/jeff for details on wind and other stuff I do.
Part 2 is now done and covers power generation: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=24LSnATIZhw
Harness the wind for less than $100.
DIY vertical wind turbine of the Savonius style.
Notable is that this cost less than $100 in materials so far and that the largest part of this turbine is recycled materials (the PVC drums previously held Balsamic Vinegar from Italy).
Also, this turns well in a very light wind.
Axle: 3 inch PVC piping from Home Depot
Bearings: 5 inch lazy suzan from Lowes.
Part 2 will cover power generation and connection to the battery bank.
Duration : 0:8:36
Get a cage around …
Get a cage around it befor it kills someone. That Pastic axle aint gonna hold sh*t in a gail and it might shake your home to bits. Still, I like the idea because in a place like that I would build satisfying things like that for fun too
Recycle drum shops? …
Recycle drum shops? Hahaha! A recycle spoon shop would do better buisiness than one of those shops.

Such noise, Get some enclosed bearings, there still cheap, Ok a good project,

If they were geared separately, I imagine you could generate some useful energy.

Yes, click on the link at the end of the video and it should take you to part two where we generate electricity.

can you actually make any electicity with this thing?

Nice and simple… great stuff!
Those bearings sound pretty loose and dirty, though.

It might cost you a little bit of money but you could use neodymium magnets as bearings. You would get less friction and less noise.
And every component …
And every component you add adds friction and drops your efficiency. Nice build though!
Yes, but then I …
Yes, but then I would need two generators or a chain or belt to link the two together. I may do this at some point but now I am building a taller turbine that utilizes 6 barrels.
Check out my video …
Check out my video Magnetic Levitation VAWT where I am doing so research on magnetic bearings but with a different type of Vertical Axis Wind Turbine (VAWT).
great thing about …
great thing about wind….you could put 2 of those between each of those posts

i’m thinking he could mount the generator on the top beam and run a small belt around the axle
It would be out of the weather and the kids fingers that way
you should try …
you should try using magnets instead of those bearings they have less friction

Connie, I am now selling the gears. Check out the link in the description of this video for Berezin Technologies.

Check out my video on magnetic levitation vawt where I do some of this (vertical forces-nedymium horizontal forces-roller blade bearings)

Sgtlabar,
That is covered in part 2 of the video which is available now.

if you could …
if you could machien your own baring casing and used the magnetic bering concept, this uses neodisium magnets in the shape of large balls, this makes a free floating turbine, running silent and also useing no friction the aparatis would spin much faster, infact with an automatic force friction transmition would maximize energ output and can act as a brake to protect unit from over exeleration,, also i would suround the outside with chicken wire to protect from debre
