We've recently taken up running a laser engraver and cutter for some small (ish) projects but really needed it to be a bit bigger than it was. This video is showing the ENTIRE process in real time as I go in blind and "figure it out" along the way. A condensed video will be uploaded soon.

    Por experiencia aprendí que el tamaño de las aspas es sumamente importante, sin carga alguna puede que gire, pero al generarle carga se bloqueará el rotor causando resistencia. No habrá suficiente brisa que saque a esas aspas de su punto muerto. En conclusión monta unas aspas que generen bastante torque

  • @franklittle6965
    @franklittle6965 Před 3 dny

    Esa configuración original a baja velocidad genera cerca de 50 voltios 4 amperes.. ya hice la prueba y preferí no cambiar nada por los momentos, la otra parte complicada es que el bobinado es de aluminio y delicado de empalmar. Cambiaría la configuración si deseo más amperios.. pero sacrificaría considerablemente la velocidad porque debería aumentar significativamente.

    I bought these filters for the same reason and noticed it didnt fit quite right. So i took the eraser end of a pencil to the inside of the filter, popped the lens out and used a razor blade to keep the glue attached to the lens and just placed it over my camera lens. I only wanted the CPL filter so no need to switch filters. Now my drone has permanent sunglasses.....until I decide to take it off.

    Hey! Had a question, I’m making my own wind turbine with my pops as a fun project. I’m using 3d printing to help design and build a prototype. During my designing phase, I ran into a question which is, does the blade hub size effect rotation force? Furthermore, does the radius of the wing blades affect rotation speed? I would like to know if theirs a system for figuring out the right dimensions for a given wind turbine. The goal in mind to charge a 6v battery.

    • @ToysforWatts
      @ToysforWatts Před měsícem

      Speaking very, VERY generally: 1. The hub is dead weight. It does not catch wind, it only creates drag and turbulence. You want the hub to have as small a footprint as possible, preferably no larger than the nacelle/stator housing. 2. Assuming all other things remain the same, the larger the rotor diameter, the slower it will spin. There are ways to make large rotors spin fast and ways to make small rotors spin slowly, but if the only change is the expansion of the size of the rotor then it will turn more slowly. There are actually are ways to calculate the correct size of rotor, but once you start getting into that math the math starts getting REALLY deep. kdwindturbines.nl is a great place to start, Kragden is a tremendous resource on what math to do. He's also very kind and happy to help people on their journey but heads up...he will answer your questions as if you are an intellectual equal. Sometimes I know what he's talking about, sometimes I have to spend more time learning the principals he's explaining to me than the actual answer I was looking for. For a small project, though, I highly recommend learning some basics and winging it. I feel that most of this stuff is best learned in action.

  • @omm7763
    @omm7763 Před měsícem

    I think you need to venture into high-voltage wind turbines. The benefit is the cost of the wiring and the cost of the control circuits. The downfall is the step down transformer. My step town transformer did cost me an extra $400. But I do believe I will save that in the size of the wiring.

  • @vincentrobinette1507
    @vincentrobinette1507 Před 2 měsíci

    The magnets need to be much more evenly spaced on the larger rotor. A good way to tell if you have a good alternator, is to measure the DC resistance from leg to leg, and compare that with the voltage per 100 RPM of speed. Less resistance, more voltage at a given RPM = GOOD! Amperage is what heats up stator windings. Take the resistance reading from the stator windings, divide it by 1.7320508, (the square root of 3) then, multiply it by the rectified current squared, and that will tell you how many watts is being lost as heat within the stator. (P=IR^2)
