If you're thinking of cutting cans, make sure you have a good knife:
amzn.to/401n7gs
And plenty of blades:
amzn.to/3n4DTNf
If you use dull blades, you're going to have sharp edges and a hard time. These blades are about ten cents apiece and last 4-5 cans. Don't be stingy on them. They are still sharp enough for other projects after using them to cut cans, so save them for things that don't require as much sharpness.
Or, better yet, get a decent utility blade sharpener and use them forever:
amzn.to/3FFxq1D
Aww hell yeah
I was experimenting with layers of HDPE from milk bottles for a while, but I could never quite get it right
Right on. Keep it up!
Nice! I bet you could get some worthwhile voltage out of that if you had it turn a small gear and dynamo which you could easily create using any small electric motor from a battery powered fan, RC car, any D/C battery powered motor when turned backwards generates electricity
You are doing great job.
We are getting energy with this one 🗣️🗣️🚀🚀⚙️⚙️💨💨
Please measure the "power" output on that stepper. Rectify the two phases and use a condensator to put them together.
I bet you will not even get 1W in a storm.
I have done it. It just does not work. There is no substitute for an actual generator, although similar to a motor.
You would be better off spending 20 bucks on a solar panel and using a 3 buck DCDC converter to get 5V for a USB powerbank.
Looks good
I feel like you didn’t use enough plastic to recycle these properly, maybe 2 or 3 more plastic parts?
Very cool!
I tried it using beer cans, for some reason it didn’t work as well, but it didn’t seem to bother me.
How do you actually use the power? Might be a dumb question but I’m new to electricity. Can you feed it back into your grid or something?
Can use it to recharge a battery, however it wouldn't create a lot energy.
@@Professor-Scientist I figured. But as a hobby. Where would one start? I obviously shouldn’t just splice an old charger on the motor right?😂 I’m sure there’s a lot of great tutorials out there but I’m not even sure what to look up that doesn’t skip a lot of steps
Nice
Death by a thousand cuts.
That's a complicated way of doing it; but, sure... A windmill made of recycled cans, plastic, screws, etc.
You forgot the bolts bearings 3D printer. not just soda cans trash.
That’s pretty sick
Could you make it more effecient using 3d printed naca foils?
Just touch the edge of that spinning fan blade* to loss a finger 😂
Oh c’mon, you could deburr the edges, or round them enough to have it not be sharp, don’t be a downer 😂
using a PWM motor for a wind turbine is easily the dumbest idea I've seen all day
some kid is gonna try this and cut tf out of their hands
You went and "recycled" three soda cans, but used probably 30 empty bottles worth of new plastic.
You could print those parts directly from bottles too.
Why is there so much posting of people making silly things?😂
Doing this barehanded... Unbelievably high risk of injury and infection. For uploading it: thumbs down.
Amazing Windmill made from [60 grams of] recycled soda cans [and 500 grams of plastic].
Are you kidding?? More like half a gram of aluminum and 20 grams of PLA.
You pushed it. Not the wind.
