Portable Modular Wind Turbine Generator For Camping & Overlanding (3D Printed)

- In my exploration of finding new and interesting ways to charge your phone or recharge your battery bank while camping or overlanding; or heck, even for survival/prepper 'shtf' planning. This time around, I designed a modular, 1w, 3D Printed wind turbine generator system! Because I designed it to be scalable, it can go from a portable 2-3 module lightweight setup, all the way to a 10x10 100W system or larger!
Still room for improvement, as it needs a fair amount of wind strength to spin the turbine blades; but for a simple & reliable 3d printed power generator, I'm pretty happy with this design!

That fan blade design is so Kerbal.
Just got my first 3d printer a few weeks ago. I love This thing. This has opened a whole new world to me. Loved legos as a kid up to my teen years. Still do now. This is the next step. Keep up the vids. Good content.
You could increase the efficiency by making it a solid wall with "holes" where your fans are. Also creating a duct connecting the tips of the blades.
Getting it to point into the wind is an easy one ..... simply create a pivot point the whole wall can pivot around built a few inches in front of the wall. Mount it on a single pole (or a tripod).
Great for camping at night
William sir thank you
this is awesome dude, great work brother!
New version coming soon
The new turbo propellors might help with torque?
Perhaps a small NEMA stepper motor with low torque would give better results thought you would now have to incorporate some form of rectifier to get DC output.
Yeah that starts to get a bit too complex, which I try to avoid with these projects
That’s awesome
First, please don't take this comment as an 'attack'.
I can appreciate the efforts you are making, but it's neither economical nor practical at this point. That is a key phrase, 'at this point'.
Solar is a dollar or 2 per watt at a much more portable entry point. I have both 60W and 100W panels that are backpack portable. With a 20Ah LiFePO4 battery and charge controller, it's not a small investment, but it is solid. Battery storage/charging tech. will be necessary in either case so while it needs to be considered, it doesn't weigh in on the comparison.
Wind also doesn't seem to offer good yields without significant elevation. It can also be just as inconsistent as a sunny day for many locations.
Without being entirely negative, have you considered a Vertical wind turbine? It might overcome some of the obstacles in a portable deployment.
Best of luck with your experiments!!
This is offered as food for thought, not a criticism.
Though VAWTs can be simpler, which is far from a bad thing, HAWTs can offer more power if done right. You're just going to have inherent problems with fixed structures and 3D printing.
I think he mentioned the one main advantage of wind over solar; it works at night or during storms or in winter.
@@crazzy88ss Wind and solar are absolutely complementary sources and if a hybrid system can be deployed that'd be super! I was addressing the portability aspect.
Ive been thinking about doing this for a while. Did you think about a vertical turbine instead of a fan? They are omnidirectional and should be more efficient
Yeah I considered it, and will probably try it at some point
. I would like to download those files
Do vertical axis
I feel a small hydro generator would be more powerful, I’ve seen one but haven’t found a 3D printed
Which 3d printer you used
Hello! Any printer capable of a 20cm x 20cm print area can print this. It's all made out of PLA, the standard 3D printer material that any FDM type 3D printer can use
@@MikeInTheWoods Thanks
thermo-electric with water heating storage
vawt for omnidirectional power axle down
that grid seems like a wine growth wall
