How to make electricity from a turning motion ?

Question

i want to make a wind turbine but i don't

know how to make electricerty from the

turning motion from the blads turning so

can someone help me with this

thanx

Answer 1

It's a little more complicated than that, but not much.

There are some very good suppliers of glass fibre blades, and it is very possible to build the "brake-drum" wind turbine with simple chop and weld fabrication.

Otherpower website is a good link, but try this one too for methods, plans and suppliers.

Quite often it is a case of adapting what you find. Don't spend too much to begin with.

I've toyed with the brakedrum design on a lamp-post with an inner pipe to extend the hight to 50 feet. A pivoting base allows you to assemble it then raise it complete instead of a high wire act.

Answer 2

Buy a bicycle light generator (it attachs to the wheel to power the head light). It produces 6 volts AC as it turns. Using it attaches to you wind turbine to generate 6 volts AC power to light up a 6 volts lamp.

Answer 3

use a generator.

If you pass a loop of wire through a magnetic field - it will induce an electrical current in the wire.

Generators have many loops of wire positioned so that as the generator turns the loops of wire are forced to move through a magnetic field created by permanent magnets. - thus generating electricity.

Answer 4

Buy a generator or alternator. Connect it to the turning blades via a belt or gears. The generator will probably want to turn faster than the blades.

Answer 5

To make electricity from a turning motion u must ensure a stable magnetic field and a turning one(the turning motion)

First of all if u hv a magnetic bar u can use it as fix current, if not make a fixed bobine and connect it 2 a DC current(better if DC but AC work also)

Second u must attach the rotating think(in ur case the wind turbine) to another bobine.Inside this bobine the AC current will be created, one side of it is the phase,the other is the neutral.

To amplifie the current, u can amplifie the stable magnetic field, make bibber bobines on both sides, or make more than one rotating bobine.

Notice the creation of AC is not simple, u hv 2 synchronise the speed of rotation with the size of bobines...To obtain the needed frequency (50Hz or 60Hz if in the USA)

Answer 6

Turbine turns a generator.  Works with water, steam, gas, or wind.

Answer 7

To make a wind turbine you need a number of components and pretty good engineering skills however check out the website below.

Science fair wind Generators for some great ideas

Answer 8

Electricity from a turning motion involves magnets to induce a current to the system. As the magnets revolve around a coil, it "pushes" the electrons along the circuit. It operates similarly to an electric motor, but in reverse, converting the kinetic energy to electrical energy.
