Going thru one of my Wind/Water power kicks
Happens every year, I start looking at ways to use wind or water to power stuff. This time around I have been thinking of making my own generators, and how to make the coils. Here are some nice starting points: … Continue reading

Neat portable wind power build
Pretty simply build, use 2 cloth like vanes and a motor, put it all on a string and attach it to a charger. I am looking to see if I can find a write up on this one too. http://www.homemadetools.net/forum/wind-powered-portable-electric-generator-gif-70788?homelistings#post124289
Simple Wind Turbine Build

A Dual Axial Flux Generator
And yeah I at first thought it was something from “Back to the Future”. Turns out is an electric generator that the author designed and built for a micro wind turbine. https://hackaday.io/project/159568-portal-point-generator
Nice simple wind turbine
I like this build except…directions are a little lacking but you can roughly figure things out. However the blades are a bit of a confusing bit how they are curved just right. http://www.instructables.com/id/Savonius-Wind-Turbine/
Cool build for a wind powered music box
Nice build and well documented too. Making Music with the Wind

One colorful Pinwheel wind generator
I like this build. Too many folks shoot down wind power cause of the “looks”. This is a nice take on that to improve the look (thought the output may suffer). My 2 cents, I think I would build smaller … Continue reading
OK this takes the cake for a cheap wind power
2 Water bottles cut and strapped onto a motor. I don’t think you can make it any cheaper and easier. http://www.instructables.com/id/Half-Brainer-Wind-Turbine/
