    And I think this is what all the world needs right now: "Make energy harvesting as easy as gardening" . Also train people so that there will be as many energy harvesters as gardeners, if not more.

    Thank you!!! Absolutely pump out incredible content. I realized after messing around looking at old videos, that I watched some of your very first videos when they were still new. I was trying to make my own ink for electroplating. Here you are almost a decade later responsible for inspiring me into working myself into quite the amazing position. I appreciate you more than you could know.

    I'm excited to see this come together. A 1kW wind turbine that takes very little tooling to make is brilliant and there's no reason almost anyone couldn't have one. Well done, chap.

    That is bloody awesome, the wood version gave you proof of concept so you already know that this will give tremendous results. Well done Rob ☺️

    Beautiful. Absolutely beautiful.

    Outstanding! Beautiful design and construction. Also hyper-interesting as all your stuff is. I especially love the use of the rain gutter instead of similar pipe. I was thinking of doing the same thing with 29-inch / .74 meters bicycle wheel. That's the largest "Standard" size wheel or I would have gone bigger, but I am not much of a handyman, so the idea of integrated bearings is attractive for me. All good wishes! I'm going to see the other parts right now!

    Robert - you're a legend - I love it and I'm absolutely going to have a go. Keep up the great videos and I love you're style!

    Excellent, thank you for such a great insight. Only thing I would add - safety glasses/googles when using tools. Tried the chop saw and it works well but small fragments fly off at speed. Other than that I'm nearly complete on my build.

    I just wanted to say that, I really appreciate what you do. I've learned a lot from you.

    It’d be interesting to put neodymium magnets on one side and ceramic on the other to see the different power outputs, this is a great project!

  • @thedevilinthecircuit1414

    Fascinating! One thing about chop saws: the blade can throw a carbide tip; I've had it happen to me. ALWAYS wear safety glasses to protect your eyes. I say this out of total selfishness, because I want you to keep making these videos 🤓

    I've been making and designing wind turbines for 20 years, and that my friend is fricken cool! can't wait to see the volt & amp results in part 2.

    mate, that is bloody awesome ! can't wait to see it working, and you didn't accidentally cut your head off once LOL. this is the sort of stuff that inspires people, I don't know why you haven't got over a million subscribers.

    What an intelligent man, going to watch all 8 parts of this, very inspiring 👍

    You know, I'd been wondering about what use one could possibly find for the base of a swivel chair ... You see these chairs dumped all the time and it's a shame as the base (and usually the lifting mechanism too) is always perfectly functional (with the exception of a few castor wheels missing). Using it like this is a brilliant idea and will possibly open the way to generating multiple others for their re-use.

    Thats a bloody awesome build mate. I'm thinking I might build one from cutting down two tumble dryer or washing machine tubs!

    Genius sir, love the creativity, and great use of the chair base!!
