Windy Lights
This is a video that shows the first attempt at running my christmas lights directly off the wind turbine. I figured that the high voltages of this wind turbine are high enough to light the lights . . .

how do you keep your power wires from twisting around the mass pipe? al
I just left a little slack and check it every few days. if it is wrapped around it i just climbe up and turn the turbine around.I leave the ladder up. its like stairs the way it sits, and it takes about 2 minutes to do. i usually dont have to untwist it for about 2 weeks at a time.MUDDy
Good ManI Apriciate you ideas, but im living in Brazil and hv no chance to expose ideas hereBYE
I am sorry for the lack of freedoms to experiment in ones own home. keep smiling and come visit the channel again.maybe you will find some thing that you can make and play with. like the stirling engines.MUDDy
I’m sorry about the noise. I forgot about telling you what the noise is. the rattling you here is the pipe inside the tower pole.I need to put a rubber bushing on the end of it. The blades never come closer than 1 foot from the pole. thats about 25.5 cm clearance. But you are right, I realy need to get the darn thing quiet. I tend to ignore it because I’ve gotten used to it I guess. It will take about 20 minutes and 2 people to do it. It might make a good video. lolMUDDy
Thanks , I hope you saw the second video with all of the lights.I want more lights to put to it. lolMUDDy
yea I saw that
I’m looking to build a couple of those, I have the ceiling fans, I just need to get at it. I’m pretty good at building so the windmill itself I’m not worried about, I don’t know if I can figure out the electrical part. I’d probably burn something up
build it and ask me when the time comes.no problem.Oh ya the wind turbine lights are just hooked to the output wires without rectification. They are running on AC volts. So no wiring for this project, just hookem up.MUDDy
thanks a lot. I’m really looking forward to getting into wind and solar, wish I had years ago.
I hear you. I have been playing with it for 4 or 5 years now. The best part is it keeps getting better and better. I wished I had the money to play more.MUDDy
