    I 100% agree I think I sound like a loose douche nozzle when I use my head sphincter to modulate the back-pressue on my lungs. I must say that you type well, considering your head has exploded. Sorry about that are you interested in narrating any of my future videos? I am serious about that.

    Hey mate. Do you know how to be able to tell the difference between warm wind & moist wind?

    you fuckin cock shuta fuck up, your dont know about this video nothing
    so fuck you and goodnight

    On every user: Please vote BAD for this fuckin Video. This fuckin Wind Turbine doesn’t work!!!

    Nice extention cord, POS. That is what you have here. POS

    Nice use of Rhino ;)
    Is there any more information or built tutorial of that turbine somewhere?
    I would like to built a vertical turbine…would the same generator work?

    sir, I would be grateful if you could tell me the type of generator used- I mean whether its a synchronous m/c or an induction m/c and why? thanks in advance.

    Hugh Piggot has a set of build instructions for a turbine much like mine. He charges a fair price I would highly recommend looking into it.

    This is a surface Permanent magnet machine of the axial flux variety. They are affectionately referred to as “pancake” machines in some circles. Let me know if that is what you were looking for. Or check out my wind turbine destroyed video for a closer look. I would also like to refer you to Hugh Piggots work he is the best in the business. Thank you for the polite inquiry.

    If you want to chat with an energy expert, join us for EcoChat tonight at 8pm CST from the web.

    Hear from the former President and CEO of a wind turbine company.

    Ask about Bloom Box technology and Obama’s commitment to a nuclear power plant.

    Go to my youtube page and visit my blog to chat it up!

    go buy a better voice fag.

    sir, could you please tell me the name of the software in yur video, you used to design yur wind turbine.

    thanks!

    I have built a non wind turbine belt conveyor turbine cog driver it may sound a bit complicated but it’s very similar to having a dog and still barking yourself abit pointless but don’t be deterred alot of people spend hours and hours a day building absolute worthless rubbish and you never know by some miracle something might look good or even work, but please don’t get too optimistic it might lead to much dissapointment :)

    i heard small scale turbines are no where near as efficient as the huge ones, is that true?
    still every little helps.

    How does the direction of the wind affect its consistency? Likewise, does the direction of the blade (spinning one way and then another) affect the output-diminish its consistency?

    this guy is a smart simple person …lol @ good and bad power

    @DraeneiGirlsHotMuch lol at your name. grow the fuck up.

    A small wind turbine can be put in every house hold in America, they can be manufactured locally with small business or People can build it themselves…Huge Wind Turbines must be done by larger corporations, it takes alot to put up huge wind turbines…It can be done, we must create more manfacturing in America and mass produce it…It will bring the cost down…Solar and Wind can lesson the dependence on Oil by 25%.

    I invented a breakthrough energy source which violates the law of energy conservation. I have a PROOF that there are electrodynamic phenomena violating the law of energy conservation. I am looking for $30000 for a prototype and for $3M for patents. In mass production it will cost $1200 to make a 15 kW generator, value of energy produced YEARLY about $10000.

    It is not 120 Volts amplitude or 240V peak to peak. It is 120 Volts RMS which is 120V divided by the square root of two. It is actually about 170 Volts peak to peak. Good Vid anyway.

    Were did you get the dc batteries?? And the price of the batteries also, if that’s possible? Thanks, please reply.
