Small wind generator

January 25th, 2012 by admin Leave a reply »

I have a generator and want to take the engine generator and connect the wind energy. It might work. What I discovered was – maybe. See below. A problem may lie in the speed of rotation. The gasoline engine ran thousands of revolutions per minute. The wind turbine will run much slower, making it necessary to use gears or pulleys to change speed to match the generator. Now the question is do you have enough power wind turbine to drive the gears and the generator? Depends on the size of the turbine and generator size. An additional point, the generator, I suspect, is a generator of 120 volts AC 60 Hz. Running is slower than the one designed for lower voltages occur and lower output frequency, which can not be used for anything other than light bulbs. Even if it reaches the output voltage and frequency, as soon as the wind changes slightly, the voltage and frequency will change again.

    Absolutely going to work. Just need to get the right ratio for your engine ready to turn right RPM. In addition, you will need to ensure that your wind turbine is well designed (sized sheets, the right angles of pitch, the right way). . In general, you want your windmill spinning around 20 rpm, and electric generator to 2,000 rpm.oh, and here are the useful equations: Double the wind speed = 8 times the power of the generator. Twice the length of the blades = 4 times the power of your generadory here is what confuses most people, twice the number of leaves = no effect on power.

    No. Of wind power generation is performed by AC variable frequency, depending on the frequency of wind speed, coverting to DC and then converted back to fixed frequency AC, 50Hz or 60Hz. It's a completely different concept.
