Personally I believe our greatest obstacle is harnessing the energy. As you have shown, it takes a little effort, a bit of knowledge, and even less money to produce quite a bit of energy, but the batteries we use to store it are, among other things, very toxic, inefficient, and bulky. I believe that this is the biggest hurdle before turning wind power into affordable, efficient, eco-friendly transportation, not to mention the biggest thing holding us back from giving big oil the big finger.

How did you make the alternator? or did you just buy it?

your right my friend but now they have domestic wind turbines that are ring fed into the house maines which require no batteries.

your open circuit voltage was 20+ volts max, but what about the short circuit current. As you might know, your max power is the product of the two!!!!!!!

Hi megavotze, I think you can clearly see that its only a permanent magnet generator with pvc pipes attached to it and when it spins it produces dc current to then charge a battery, may i take this opportunity to invite you to read on the net about home made wind turbines, before you call people idiots, lack of knowledge and research is what makes you make these comments.
Hope this clarifyes it for you then again maybe not.

The windmill design isn’t optimal. Lay the generator on it’s back, put up some sails and spin it like a roulette wheel. You never have to worry about it facing into the wind because it always is. (When there’s wind).
