Јоhn Daniel Here in Indiana we get roughly 10-15 mph winds and sometimes up to 30 especially in the spring and fall periods. I was thinking about about getting one of these small 300-400watt turbines to use with my garage. Does the factory controller control the turbine Incase of high winds and/or slow it down when the battery is fully charged or should I invest in resistors to stop it from over charging or damaging itself?
@@haulngrassracing Honestly the factory controller will work for most, but your winds are likely high enough to consider a actual diversion controller set up. Reason is the factory controller will constantly be hammering the turbine in and out of brake mode which is not healthy for it or your battery in wind averages over 12 to 14 mph. So I would suggest the diversion plan that allows the turbine to spin up but be loaded heavily instead of brake shorting the generators head so much.
Јоhn Daniel 👍 Right now (even with green leaves on the trees which is crazy for this time of year here) the wind is steady at 18 mph and gust up to 27 mph. How do you feel about wind turbines connected to grid tie inverters? Seems to be a popular thing at the moment and I know what’s his name is on a ban spiel about it (solar guy that was homeless? Name leaves me at the moment?) but seeing as my garage is on its own meter I wonder if wind generator would be a viable option? It could act as a load generator if the batteries are full. But then again with everything shut off I don’t see my garage using next to nothing if I’m not out there so it still may need a resistive load 🤔 Still trying to come up with the best option that would best suit my needs. If I’m successful my wife might let me do it to the house 😁 By the way thanks for the informative videos, really enjoy watching and learning. I build Ebike batteries and tinker with 18650 cells and lots of batteries.
@@haulngrassracing Start with about 1500 watts solar and 600 to 800 watts of wind and at least 8 of the GC2 style batteries with your plans to remove common use circuits from your shop/home breakers and placed on your system. Your starting right, but do not waste your time on wind/grid tie unless your planning on going 2000 watt or larger, even then payback is 5.5 years. But here is some study help, and direction to your current interest dakotalithium.com/our-batteries/?v=7516fd43adaa

BUT This self proclaimed “hillbilly” makes my head hurt trying to grasp all the great information in his videos. I look forward to meeting Mr. Daniel. Hopefully he can take my understanding up a notch or two.
I am experimenting with 16 180ah Lifepo4 batteries and it's amazing the time's we are in now. With solar years ago things were possible but not money well spent. In the past several years with solar, wind and now lithium iron phosphate batteries... It it TOTALLY do able to be self sustainable. I'll post more vids of my build soon, but I did a test of 8 of the batteries on an emergency situation with my house and ran many things for 12 hours! . The dream is to build my next house with solar, wind and the batteries. Learning a lot from you as far as combining the wind into the dream. Thanks again John, Dan
Looks like your pushing on to modern methods. Age is so fast creeping up on me, I started using smaller tools due to carpal tunnel and hopefully my next build for my own system will be MUCH LIGHTER LiPo . I heavily suggest a B&D impact like this one bit.ly/2WkWbKR compared to my Milwaukee thats kicking my butt. Never thought that little 8 ounce less tool would be just as powerful as my Milwaukee and keep me going on solar installs so much longer. Being in my 50's now sucks!
I trust this man as a installer more than I do a person selling them all over the place. He gets to test and try everything people buy that he installs. So if he don't want to install it I pay attention. So this cheap one is probably good build and I can order one to use with solar on a water well on a ranch.
i really love the way u explain stuff even a newbie like me can understand thanks for the very educational videos u do on wind energy i feel like am moving to wind now used to be a solar junkie. Thanks again.
The better kit is the 500 watt 5 blade Wind turbine, with the 3 phase to DC controller and you provide batteries. czcams.com/video/GrL7OA0Kb4A/video.html If you have lower winds ( under 13 mph average ) get the 5 blade. They make rated power of 500+ watts at 23.5 mph and higher. Mine has hit over 1100 watts in 35 mph so be sure to run 8AWG wire at least. Or something equivalent. If you stay with one turbine you only need the provided controller. If you add more, you will need to change the set up to like mine I recommend at least 1600 watts solar, 2 - 60 amp MPPT controllers, 8 GC2 batteries and 1 or 2 of these wind turbines to get a full use of wind and sun power. If you need info on proven stuff let me know, you can't get into this by budgeting wrong or experimenting, that's very costly if you make a mistake. Show less
Great guy John, your scratchy voice is soothing to the ears. Great job of explaining this content. You’re a pioneer in this field on CZcams. Great job! Hope to see more.
no shortage of cooling fans in that box , nice to see. That 300w turbine is Good ive bought 300w turbines in the past and they were in reality 100w unless ofcourse you lived in hurricane alley. been looking at those style of turbines they can have pretty substantial blades , ive seen 1kw with 2.4m blade span and makes the power in ordinary winds.
Hello John it's been a while. I have three 500 watt turbines wired up the way you have suggested. We have 40 50 winds coming this weekend It will be a true test. I will let you know how they perform.
I've noticed 2 bad things: 1. They don't put governors on these for some stupid reason! 2. Power is being wasted in the dump load that could be sold to the grid. A governor would stabilize the RPM, and you could just disconnect the generator when not needed; it would prolong the life of the unit if it wasn't under load all the time!
cool, seen sellers on ebay in the UK with metal solenoid controllers for about $100!!! get over charged and high chances of a house fire too! I only use 260watt hr in my house. until the cooker or heater is used.
At 8:05 you might want to make a correction. Common Failure Mode for SSDs is shorted. Seen two SSDs burn up control panels over the last 15 years. Very low possibility if properly sized and cooled.
@John Daniel, thank you for this, it's really helpful! You mention a special tubular fitting that just clamps onto your pipe and bolts to the flange. Does this mean no welding is required? I could not find the part in the description. Did I just miss it, or what alternatives to welding are there? Thanks so much for your videos, they're excellent!
I did have a link under some videos for no weld flanges I guess they ran out or changed the link. BUT, I am planning on mass producing the 3 different no weld mounts for the thousands who need them. I am estimating about $24 to $38 plus $8 shipping depending on size (turbine watts you need for). If you need one made that's a slip fit and tap tighten let me know, I am estimating how many I can make or people want. Send me a email about the model your needing help on, olympicpowercontrols@yahoo.com
Fantastic! Unfortunately I found your channel right after I purchased a turbine on sale. It looks identical to the one you showed in this video and they were marketing it as a 1250 peak! Before your channel I knew enough to know what I received today was not an 800W turbine. If you have a preferred method of contact I’d like to get your input.
Hello or good Sunday evening. Ive been watching 3 hours of your videos ,trying to find how you connect three resisters. could you in simple terms tell me how to connect three resisters to the two wires ? one going to the battery and the other going to the ssr. Thanks
Hi John. Do you think it is possible to put a small wind turbine on top of a large vehicle? The vehicle I am thinking probably couldn't go above 65mph. If so, would need to be mounted in a specific area? Could it catch wind while moving or just best when stationary? Thanks...
Dude you could make a wind tunnel that runs down the middle of the vehicle with some invention and thinking outside the box and install a row of turbines in some kind of funnel or tube and have a foot pedal that opens it while driving and it would work. Just have to find where to build it.
Sooo . . . when diverting power to those resistors, instead, you could hook those wires up to a grid tie inverter instead? Understanding that you tune your controllers to the output of the windmill and the local (average or peak?) windspeed, do you have a ballpark range for the cost of one of your controllers for a 12v system? Even a big price range is fine as it gives me a ballpark cost to factor in. Love your videos. Thanks :)
Grid tie inverters take a few seconds to activate when power is applied, so on and off 2 second over volt is not likely to equal enough cause to spend the money on a GTI. And the chance of unregulated voltage spikes, no battery to catch it in time, you would just as most who try it toast your GTI.
Hey john I had use ur link and I both a 500w/24v turbine and I got 4 battery from battery plus 100ah each. I will definitely need ur help how can I you a sketch of what I'm going so far thanks john love all ur videos
I am real busy but send me a Email olypicpowercontrols @ Yahoo . com and detail location, parts used, plans and goals. When I am in the shop not holding a tool I can answer most.
Hi John love all your videos I wanted to ask you could one of these cheap wind turbines be rewound for 24 volts I ask cause I have a 12/ 24 volt one but it is hard to get it always at 24
The link below the video goes direct to Green E on Ali, there you can just get a actual 24 volt with a open voltage of up to 52 volts (before battery takes it down to your 24 desired)
Hey John I'm trying to keep up with all the calculations but I'm getting lost and frustrated. I bought a wind turbine (24V 3000W) S model from China. I seriously do not know what I need to get this system functioning so that I can use it in my shed. I'll mainly use regular 110V not 220V but I figured the more voltage and wattage the better. I'm LOST!
I got you box of parts made up for one on a board with the digital URD12-24 model and a 60 amp SSR, was planning on being in the BF area but every cattle load diverts me down 93, not east. 6 months worth of a cattle haulers awesome fungal lung infection has put me so far behind and ad to that the "Terrible Orange man" Trumps economy has me working 3 times as many hours of trucking and power installs as I ever saw from 2009 to 2016.
Well when can I meet up ? You should come to blackfoot just for shits and giggles . I would love to show you my setup. I have completed the electronics box just needs your controller installed. And my new battery box is under construction right now. I just picked up some more 0/1 welding cable 30 ft and need to build the bus bar for that box and get it done . I have been working my butt off on everything. I also fixed all the welds too. I found out turning the line feed on 9 and amperage on high and using my solar setup to power it and also cleaning off all powder coating my welds are very good now .
John Daniel is the person who peaked my interest in wind turbines.i that lead to one of my greatest ideas of all time. A portable wind turbine tower that mounts to a trailer you can hitch behind your camper and tow. czcams.com/video/Ej0fBGQwrRM/video.html
John can you just email me the address and I can come down there and pick it up? I like your red one how much would you charge me for one? I need also a braking switch so I can hit that while transporting the turbine.
Thanks for the reviews of the wind turbines. Has you opinion changed any regarding the VAWT? Negative review in CZcams recently and was wondering if it’s held up to your expectations? Quick question: what the stuff (sealant?) you’ve used to seal together numerous items? I think it had “weld” in the name. I cannot remember the name and researching it out hasn’t helped. Thanks Terry Brown
I noticed the Wind turbine you recommend is only for 12 or 24 volt system. I have a 48 volt system. Can you recommend a good 48 volt wind turbine? Average wind speeds where I live are 20 mph. Wanting something to help charge batteries during the night or days of little sun. Thank you for your great video love the control box you made.
My suggestion, they have a excellent 48 volt. Link to it below the video will get you much more details and specs. czcams.com/video/1DpiIoaeOPA/video.html
How would you do a diversion with your controller when using a LifePo4 battery(ies)??? I want to do a hybrid system on the farm for my cabin (Central Canada). I want to be able to take advantage of the ability to charge / maintain the battery charge in no sun times (winter / night). However, how would a diversion work if the BMS on a LifePO4 battery shuts off current at full charge / low temp - the electronics in your diversion box would have no reference voltage from the battery?
On a Lifepo4 you will always have voltage present unless your BMS fails. Its accepting charge is to all cells, the BMS just does the balancing of cells to keep them equal. So by setting the divert to below the Lithium max charge rate you can do it. But I prefer a dedicated wind charger controller for Lifepo4 like these on this page s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_9iefAL
I bet a few of your followers could build the controller if we had some part # control board, relay, ? Running 2 or more to the box how would you connect them? would each need their own rectifier?
One turbine, One rectifier. I may have the boards sourced and put on a site. I just stay so busy from solar installs, wind turbines, running cattle truck and homeschooling 4 kids I am lucky to be making the videos on the methods I use.
the 300w turbine it's in one of my videos is extremely light and produces according to its rating I would say that you could raise it on an inch and a half in just a few minutes with the weight being below 35 lb total weight.
I’ve currently got solar (600watts) charging a 200amphr lifepo4 (lithium) battery. Will get another 200amphr battery down the line but for the moment I’d like to incorporate a 400w turbine to keep the mini fridge going on cloudy days. Could I use the factory controller along side with my existing mppt solar charge controller (obv different brands) and charge the same bank, or would you suggest I get the diversion controller? Avg wind speed 6mph Thanks in advance! Awesome stuff
You should go with this programmable 800 wind/600 solar MPPT controller amzn.to/32K5YfH for such use on LiFePo4 due to the sensitivity to voltage the BMS has. Later you can add 300 to 400 more watts of solar on it. Never load them to their advertised claims.
You can, a best unit is a Ysolar made. It can run a very accurate temp controller and charge 3 to 70v LiPo. If you want the exact one let me know I will find the model and place.
I can use anything that uses power for the power dump, am I correct? Like a water heater or another set of batteries or something like that. I am pretty sure I am correct but I wanted to run it past you to make sure since you have a lot of experience than I do in this stuff.
I put a link down below the video to Ali where you can get the best water heating elements so your diversion can heat water. We do this in our place in the hills near Baker Nevada, we keep a 14 x 28 foot cabin warm with that process. Ours is mounted in 3 thirty gallon stainless steel barrels and a over temp diversion relay send power to a outside resistor bank if the water hits 140 degrees. The radiant heat from its tiny 8x8 basement keeps the shack warm in 0 degree weather. Always windy in the Nevada winter, and 8 batteries fill fast using 3 of these similar turbines.
I built your manual breaking system that’s works well but it’s fully manual. I prefer your new design because of it being automatic breaking. Is there a way to modify a manual system to becoming a auto system?
Yes, I will be doing a video on how to make a volt sensing automatic 3 phase braking system. I work 60+ hour a week and teach 4 kids home school so it may be a few weeks.
You can charge lithium with wind. You must have a multi stage programmable charge controller. Theres about 5 on the market that are safe and effective.
Have you tried hot cold therapy for your carpal tunnel? Frozen bottles of water make great ice cubes. Dip them in a bucket and you're set. Take a look at the Talon Slack channel, very good community software with voice dictation and eye tracking solutions. Hit me up there if you are interested. I suffer from similar problems.
John, Wanting to have a combination solar and wind power system at our small cabin. Do you feel this model is still a good entry model? Thank you and thank you for the videos!
I don't sell wind turbines, I just install them and I specialize in remote location energy. I run Panorama Remote Power, we do mostly off grid in distant off the road locations.
Their 48 volt 1000 watt and especially the furling 1200 watt model is crazy powerful and you can actually feed it into a 80 amp MPPT 150 open volt solar controller with a side mounted diversion controller to keep it under 1200 watts and charge 24 volt bank like nothing I ever saw.
@@JOHNDANIEL1 thanks for the reply. I would like to contact you about getting more information on putting up a system, your ideas on which model I should use here in Michigan.
Hello i was wondering if u can do a video on the S 300 micro wind turbine out in real wind i would love to see the real output before i go and purchase it.
I have the pole up, but just not the wiring ran yet since its such a big change on the system going on right now. But preliminary test and others say its worth it, just got to get the right one, BUY NO REAR TAIL DOWN MODELS though. They are 150 watt max and spin out of the wind constantly.
I'm thinking of buying either the 300 or 500w turbine that you suggest. My purpose would be to use it to supplement my solar thermal Mass heating setup by using the diverter load on a 300 to 500 watt 12 volt heating element. My question is, if I have a normal deep cycle battery attached to the wind turbine box that is fully charged at least most of the time would this setup be ideal to consistently help heat the water up on a daily basis when the sun is absent? Could you see a problem with this setup always dumping and not needing to charge the battery that often? I'm really hoping that this would be a solution helping my thermal Mass above freezing in January in northern Michigan. Where I am at just off a lake shore of Lake Huron we have consistent daily winds of 20 miles an hour in January and February.
John Daniel. I believe I read where you had said that it was okay to put a 12 or 24 volt wind turbine and the situation with low wind? I realize the part the resistance of the load plays in the scenario, I just wondered about another scenario I have with yours well wind and if I wanted to get the 300 watts that I need would it be advisable to go to a 600 watt 24 volt turbine to try to get near my needed consistent 300 watts in a 12 volt system? If not, which one of these more efficient Chinese turbines would get me closest to my 300 watts I need in a 15 mile an hour wind?
Heres a DIY option like mine, from same sourcing, to use direct rectification & to divert over volting for 100% charge of batteries you will need these. amzn.to/37HN2OR 100A SQL & a OPC / W&S amzn.to/2MTUjCU A All purpose long life controller. With that on the 500 watt turbines you will need about 400 watts of diversion load, and a 60 amp Dc to DC SSR relay. If you need best option on it just ask. J
Hi John, do you have a link for the control board manufacturer, and any schematics for your control box layout? Gradually getting parts together for first build! Cheers Steve
Yes, its a Mason design Now fully upgraded with impressive accuracy ebay.to/2T6TGHs WindSun-Controls Designed for Solid State Controls, MAGER SSR ebay.to/2R5eBsv be sure to get DC/DC solid state relays, 40+ amp Mager
@@JOHNDANIEL1 Thanks john for your rapid reply. I have wind speed records for my intended location in Tasmania, and the average is only about 6mph gusting to about 18mph so looks like 500w 5blade. Cheers Steve.
I do recommend them, just not for multiple wind turbines. None of them as dead accurate in braking voltage settings so one will get the feedback from another turbine and toast itself. And none can actually handle these dang Wuixi turbines, you need a 400+ on a 300w turbine, especially in my area you may need a 500 capable. When this company Wuixi went to the AFL style magnet they became REAL producers. So its not smart to use the 300 that comes with a 300 turbine, get a 400 as a spare to put in when this little thing kills the 300 controller!!
@@JOHNDANIEL1 The bad part about the ones that come with the turbines is that they are non-adjustable. Depending on your loads and solar panels installed, the wind turbine controller will often be in braking mode.
Also John, do I need to Install a diode in order to use the shunt? I installed the shunt just after the rectifier. The only reading I get from my digital meter is the systems battery voltage unless the wind generator exceeds the battery voltage then I pick up the additional voltage, I’m not reading any amps or wattage?
Your shunt main lugs should be between the Negative on the rectifier and battery. Your field wires should be as seen in my controller. Yellow/black unless you have a different color. The 2 red/black are to power the meter as well as show voltage and go only to battery. But it is possible you have a bad meter. I think It would be a good idea I do a video on 4 or 5 models since wiring differs on some to show correct millivolt alignment and where in stream to mount them. You gave me a good idea on them and even though others have done videos for things like car stereos or motors with amp meters, a basic all uses video needs to be there to help.
Can you go to my channel and check out the video? I’ve tried 2 meters and my multi-meter and still no amp readings? I even gave you credit on the breaking system that I copied from you.
Јоhn Daniel can you go to my channel and check out my wiring video as to where I have the shunt installed? Also, can’t I just replace the dump load with a dead short as a auto break?
Looked it over, I suggest swapping the small wires around on the shunt. Try both ways using this method of meter testing. If you have a 6 to 15 amp battery charger clip its clamps on the output of the rectifier leaving everything still like it is, You do not need to disconnect the turbine or change anything. Plug in the charger, note the volts rise and then check your readings. Secondly your length of run from turbine to control board, how long is it, are you using 8awg in that length at least? Loss may be significant in that distance.
what is ohms between any 2 of the 3 phase of a 12v 600 watt win alt , lots volts but no amps will run 5 watts at 12v run up to 25 mph 20 v dc but that is a 20 year elec eng. /
Yes. I use a balancing unit I designed about 8 years ago and a poly acrylic adhesive to add weight if needed. Luckily the Wuixi Air ( these) are within 2 grams on average. And if they are not, Green E will send you a replacement quick in my experience.
@@JOHNDANIEL1 thank you John . I saw a guy doit about two years ago on the tube didn't know if it BS or not it's some most don't know about turbines I wasn't sure myself
@@JOHNDANIEL1 Thanks. That sounds very good. Is there any specific type of maintenance that I have to be aware of in order to make them last for that long?
Јоhn Daniel same, I don’t like the idea of voltages larger than 12 around my sleeping area... all 12 makes it simpler to build and set up... thanks for the wonderful review, I think I may get this turbine to supplement my panels at night... your video has actually perked me up to grab one... just gotta finish my solar setup.
Good morning.At least here it is morning.I m trying to install a 400 W windmill to give me extra power on the solar.I connected the charge controller they delivered with it ( FW 12/24 ) but i must be doing something wrong.when i connect it immediately on the batteries the controller immediately starts to brake.I m having a 24 v system but i only mesure 12.9 till 14.5 v comming out of the controller when i put a solar charge controller between the rectifier and the batteries.What am i doing wrong. Maybe it is not a bad idea to make a video with all the stupid things you can do wrong for dumbasses like me.
The controller has to be connected to the battery bank first, if your solar is affecting its reading do the connection at night. Then connect the 3 wires for the turbine to it. If your using a Rectifier you meed a dedicated diversion system, and can only use the controllers battery leads as a spare divert option.
People do get but hurt when you can show a turbine from china making the power as advertised. Pisses off people that think car alternator's or PMG can make 1600 watts!
You should do the same in Aussie Land. The luxury I have is owners buy them on their own study and then am called to install them, my luxury is I get to see what works and fails based on that arrangement and at no product cost to me. I learn warranty, durability and price advantages from my part in the process without loss to me. the result, I get to see whats real instead of hearing shit from a Pottery Huckster on whats real.
No, I build them on spec for each application. Now that your turbine is built, installed and likely set for use a parts sizing can be applied. You need a 60 amp DC-DC SSR, diversion control to activate it, and 300 watts of resistors possible 400 watts of them if your going to park it high and clear.
Links to sources are below the video in the upload date area. If you need links to get things based on another country such as EbayUK or DHGate let me know I can try to get exact sourced.

no shortage of cooling fans in that box , nice to see. That 300w turbine is Good ive bought 300w turbines in the past and they were in reality 100w unless ofcourse you lived in hurricane alley.
been looking at those style of turbines they can have pretty substantial blades , ive seen 1kw with 2.4m blade span and makes the power in ordinary winds.
Sweet. I'm trying to figure out 2 turbines for my house in Northern Michigan.
Good job, keep your kids involved in all aspects of your life, my parents only wanted me when there was work to be done.

Hi John, I bought the 500 watt 24 volt turbine, you said the post my request for those parts too. Thanks in advance! :)
Yes, I am getting rid of excess components. You get parts, you build, you install scenario.
great video from the best channel on utube thank you keep up the good work
That's the turbine I bought it works wonderful
*_Thanks for your time and another informative video, I grain a lot of knowledge from you, John._*
Hello John it's been a while. I have three 500 watt turbines wired up the way you have suggested. We have 40 50 winds coming this weekend
It will be a true test. I will let you know how they perform.

Thank you so much for your time! 🥰
You’re welcome 😊
I've noticed 2 bad things:
1. They don't put governors on these for some stupid reason!
2. Power is being wasted in the dump load that could be sold to the grid.
A governor would stabilize the RPM, and you could just disconnect the generator when not needed; it would prolong the life of the unit if it wasn't under load all the time!
Interesting video! Makes me think it’s possible to have and use on a van setup, which I hope to eventually have. Thank you!
great information. I'm like Sir Prancelot. I will learn
Share the videos to help others
cool, seen sellers on ebay in the UK with metal solenoid
controllers for about $100!!! get over charged and high chances of a house fire too! I only use 260watt hr in my house. until the cooker or heater is used.
At 8:05 you might want to make a correction. Common Failure Mode for SSDs is shorted. Seen two SSDs burn up control panels over the last 15 years. Very low possibility if properly sized and cooled.
Are you referring to automotive Solenoids that some people use?
Very informative
@John Daniel, thank you for this, it's really helpful! You mention a special tubular fitting that just clamps onto your pipe and bolts to the flange. Does this mean no welding is required? I could not find the part in the description. Did I just miss it, or what alternatives to welding are there?
Thanks so much for your videos, they're excellent!
I did have a link under some videos for no weld flanges I guess they ran out or changed the link. BUT, I am planning on mass producing the 3 different no weld mounts for the thousands who need them. I am estimating about $24 to $38 plus $8 shipping depending on size (turbine watts you need for).
If you need one made that's a slip fit and tap tighten let me know, I am estimating how many I can make or people want. Send me a email about the model your needing help on, olympicpowercontrols@yahoo.com
Thermadyne 15V @ 8amps.
Chinese model 15V 10amp.

Another excellent video thank you
Fantastic! Unfortunately I found your channel right after I purchased a turbine on sale. It looks identical to the one you showed in this video and they were marketing it as a 1250 peak! Before your channel I knew enough to know what I received today was not an 800W turbine. If you have a preferred method of contact I’d like to get your input.
Hello John, where are you selling the olympic power controls?
Hello or good Sunday evening. Ive been watching 3 hours of your videos ,trying to find how you connect three resisters. could you in simple terms tell me how to connect three resisters to the two wires ? one going to the battery and the other going to the ssr. Thanks
Awesome video , we'll done and I hope to be having you put together and install one for me soon . ! :-)
Thank you for the links
Hey there, from Australia. Do you sell those pre-assembled diverters, like in your video ?( red metal box ) Cheers, and great vid. too.
Hi John. Do you think it is possible to put a small wind turbine on top of a large vehicle? The vehicle I am thinking probably couldn't go above 65mph. If so, would need to be mounted in a specific area? Could it catch wind while moving or just best when stationary? Thanks...
It would be very difficult to reinforce that enough it would tear the hell out of a vehicle frame from the pull.
Just build a portable wind turbine tower and mount it on a trailer with extra support frame use quarter inch thick steel.
@@donaldsteele6276 Thank you, perhaps I can have a portable configuration that could somehow be easily set up when stationary. Cheers

Dude you could make a wind tunnel that runs down the middle of the vehicle with some invention and thinking outside the box and install a row of turbines in some kind of funnel or tube and have a foot pedal that opens it while driving and it would work. Just have to find where to build it.
HI JOHN WHERE CAN I BUY THIS DIVERSION CONTROLLER DO YOU HAVE WEB STORE O A LINK TO BUY ONE THANK YOU FOR ANY HELP JOSE.
They go on sale on Ali Express next week.
Awesome video 👌
Awesome man! Thanks!
Sooo . . . when diverting power to those resistors, instead, you could hook those wires up to a grid tie inverter instead?
Understanding that you tune your controllers to the output of the windmill and the local (average or peak?) windspeed, do you have a ballpark range for the cost of one of your controllers for a 12v system? Even a big price range is fine as it gives me a ballpark cost to factor in. Love your videos. Thanks :)
Grid tie inverters take a few seconds to activate when power is applied, so on and off 2 second over volt is not likely to equal enough cause to spend the money on a GTI. And the chance of unregulated voltage spikes, no battery to catch it in time, you would just as most who try it toast your GTI.
Hey john I had use ur link and I both a 500w/24v turbine and I got 4 battery from battery plus 100ah each. I will definitely need ur help how can I you a sketch of what I'm going so far thanks john love all ur videos
I am real busy but send me a Email olypicpowercontrols @ Yahoo . com and detail location, parts used, plans and goals. When I am in the shop not holding a tool I can answer most.

Was wondering if any of the wind turbines off of Amazon are any good or junk? Thanks
Hi John love all your videos I wanted to ask you could one of these cheap wind turbines be rewound for 24 volts I ask cause I have a 12/ 24 volt one but it is hard to get it always at 24
The link below the video goes direct to Green E on Ali, there you can just get a actual 24 volt with a open voltage of up to 52 volts (before battery takes it down to your 24 desired)

Hey John I'm trying to keep up with all the calculations but I'm getting lost and frustrated. I bought a wind turbine (24V 3000W) S model from China. I seriously do not know what I need to get this system functioning so that I can use it in my shed. I'll mainly use regular 110V not 220V but I figured the more voltage and wattage the better. I'm LOST!
I want one of John's controllers , he promised me one. But here we are 4 mo later still no controller. :( .
I got you box of parts made up for one on a board with the digital URD12-24 model and a 60 amp SSR, was planning on being in the BF area but every cattle load diverts me down 93, not east. 6 months worth of a cattle haulers awesome fungal lung infection has put me so far behind and ad to that the "Terrible Orange man" Trumps economy has me working 3 times as many hours of trucking and power installs as I ever saw from 2009 to 2016.
Well when can I meet up ? You should come to blackfoot just for shits and giggles . I would love to show you my setup. I have completed the electronics box just needs your controller installed. And my new battery box is under construction right now. I just picked up some more 0/1 welding cable 30 ft and need to build the bus bar for that box and get it done . I have been working my butt off on everything. I also fixed all the welds too. I found out turning the line feed on 9 and amperage on high and using my solar setup to power it and also cleaning off all powder coating my welds are very good now .
FYI I work at a freightliner dealership... could sure use some of this for my off grid plan
John Daniel is the person who peaked my interest in wind turbines.i that lead to one of my greatest ideas of all time. A portable wind turbine tower that mounts to a trailer you can hitch behind your camper and tow. czcams.com/video/Ej0fBGQwrRM/video.html
John can you just email me the address and I can come down there and pick it up? I like your red one how much would you charge me for one? I need also a braking switch so I can hit that while transporting the turbine.
Thanks for the reviews of the wind turbines. Has you opinion changed any regarding the VAWT? Negative review in CZcams recently and was wondering if it’s held up to your expectations?
Quick question: what the stuff (sealant?) you’ve used to seal together numerous items? I think it had “weld” in the name. I cannot remember the name and researching it out hasn’t helped.
Thanks

Vawt is waste of time, only nice spinning decoration, in my opinion.
I need 3500 watts i'd like to get 1 to 400 watts from a wind a off grid turbine how would I build something like that?
Thank you
I noticed the Wind turbine you recommend is only for 12 or 24 volt system. I have a 48 volt system. Can you recommend a good 48 volt wind turbine? Average wind speeds where I live are 20 mph. Wanting something to help charge batteries during the night or days of little sun. Thank you for your great video love the control box you made.
My suggestion, they have a excellent 48 volt. Link to it below the video will get you much more details and specs. czcams.com/video/1DpiIoaeOPA/video.html
How would you do a diversion with your controller when using a LifePo4 battery(ies)??? I want to do a hybrid system on the farm for my cabin (Central Canada). I want to be able to take advantage of the ability to charge / maintain the battery charge in no sun times (winter / night). However, how would a diversion work if the BMS on a LifePO4 battery shuts off current at full charge / low temp - the electronics in your diversion box would have no reference voltage from the battery?
On a Lifepo4 you will always have voltage present unless your BMS fails. Its accepting charge is to all cells, the BMS just does the balancing of cells to keep them equal. So by setting the divert to below the Lithium max charge rate you can do it. But I prefer a dedicated wind charger controller for Lifepo4 like these on this page s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_9iefAL
I bet a few of your followers could build the controller if we had some part # control board, relay, ? Running 2 or more to the box how would you connect them? would each need their own rectifier?
One turbine, One rectifier. I may have the boards sourced and put on a site. I just stay so busy from solar installs, wind turbines, running cattle truck and homeschooling 4 kids I am lucky to be making the videos on the methods I use.
Why when volts go up amperage goes down? Power = E x I .
Are there smaller ones than the size illustrating , like for camper van .
the 300w turbine it's in one of my videos is extremely light and produces according to its rating I would say that you could raise it on an inch and a half in just a few minutes with the weight being below 35 lb total weight.
I’ve currently got solar (600watts) charging a 200amphr lifepo4 (lithium) battery.
Will get another 200amphr battery down the line but for the moment I’d like to incorporate a 400w turbine to keep the mini fridge going on cloudy days.
Could I use the factory controller along side with my existing mppt solar charge controller (obv different brands) and charge the same bank, or would you suggest I get the diversion controller? Avg wind speed 6mph
Thanks in advance!
Awesome stuff
You should go with this programmable 800 wind/600 solar MPPT controller amzn.to/32K5YfH for such use on LiFePo4 due to the sensitivity to voltage the BMS has. Later you can add 300 to 400 more watts of solar on it. Never load them to their advertised claims.
@@JOHNDANIEL1 sweeet, subscribed!
John can u set it up for lithium batteries at 24v I like to try it I just don't want to have to buy another classic 150 for my wind
You can, a best unit is a Ysolar made. It can run a very accurate temp controller and charge 3 to 70v LiPo. If you want the exact one let me know I will find the model and place.
@@JOHNDANIEL1 I would be interested in knowing the make & model! Thanks!
I can use anything that uses power for the power dump, am I correct? Like a water heater or another set of batteries or something like that. I am pretty sure I am correct but I wanted to run it past you to make sure since you have a lot of experience than I do in this stuff.
I put a link down below the video to Ali where you can get the best water heating elements so your diversion can heat water. We do this in our place in the hills near Baker Nevada, we keep a 14 x 28 foot cabin warm with that process. Ours is mounted in 3 thirty gallon stainless steel barrels and a over temp diversion relay send power to a outside resistor bank if the water hits 140 degrees. The radiant heat from its tiny 8x8 basement keeps the shack warm in 0 degree weather. Always windy in the Nevada winter, and 8 batteries fill fast using 3 of these similar turbines.
Link for the wind turbine is not correct. Another product listed.
Thanks , I'll try to re-source it.
I built your manual breaking system that’s works well but it’s fully manual. I prefer your new design because of it being automatic breaking. Is there a way to modify a manual system to becoming a auto system?
Yes, I will be doing a video on how to make a volt sensing automatic 3 phase braking system. I work 60+ hour a week and teach 4 kids home school so it may be a few weeks.
How to add Windmill to a lithium battery solar sys. I dont believe this method would work
You can charge lithium with wind. You must have a multi stage programmable charge controller. Theres about 5 on the market that are safe and effective.
Have you tried hot cold therapy for your carpal tunnel? Frozen bottles of water make great ice cubes. Dip them in a bucket and you're set. Take a look at the Talon Slack channel, very good community software with voice dictation and eye tracking solutions. Hit me up there if you are interested. I suffer from similar problems.
Yes, did it all. They say I am so far gone only surgery is next. Too many years in the ring, too many years working 50+ hour weeks.
John,
Wanting to have a combination solar and wind power system at our small cabin. Do you feel this model is still a good entry model? Thank you and thank you for the videos!
Yes, they do a good job. Get the green wind and solar 600 wind - 600 solar all in one controller ( about $150) for that size system.
How much would it cost a customer to buy a winter Byam for you to install
I don't sell wind turbines, I just install them and I specialize in remote location energy. I run Panorama Remote Power, we do mostly off grid in distant off the road locations.
what do you know about their 1000w wind turbine, are they just as good as the 500 and 300?
Their 48 volt 1000 watt and especially the furling 1200 watt model is crazy powerful and you can actually feed it into a 80 amp MPPT 150 open volt solar controller with a side mounted diversion controller to keep it under 1200 watts and charge 24 volt bank like nothing I ever saw.
@@JOHNDANIEL1 thanks for the reply. I would like to contact you about getting more information on putting up a system, your ideas on which model I should use here in Michigan.
I notice that the same seller on aliexpress has a vertical turbine for sale. Can you tell us what you think of that one? Thanks.
All vawt turbines need 30% higher winds and axial generators to be useful. Many of those on that site do have the flat axial generators and work ok.
@@JOHNDANIEL1 Thanks, John.
Hello i was wondering if u can do a video on the S 300 micro wind turbine out in real wind i would love to see the real output before i go and purchase it.
I have the pole up, but just not the wiring ran yet since its such a big change on the system going on right now. But preliminary test and others say its worth it, just got to get the right one, BUY NO REAR TAIL DOWN MODELS though. They are 150 watt max and spin out of the wind constantly.
@@JOHNDANIEL1 Thank you Sir will do and see how it,s performance. Have a lovely day say thanks to the Kid's for being a good support team.
I'm thinking of buying either the 300 or 500w turbine that you suggest. My purpose would be to use it to supplement my solar thermal Mass heating setup by using the diverter load on a 300 to 500 watt 12 volt heating element. My question is, if I have a normal deep cycle battery attached to the wind turbine box that is fully charged at least most of the time would this setup be ideal to consistently help heat the water up on a daily basis when the sun is absent? Could you see a problem with this setup always dumping and not needing to charge the battery that often?
I'm really hoping that this would be a solution helping my thermal Mass above freezing in January in northern Michigan. Where I am at just off a lake shore of Lake Huron we have consistent daily winds of 20 miles an hour in January and February.
I would get the 5 blade 500 for that.
Thanks John. Love your videos and the work you do.
John Daniel. I believe I read where you had said that it was okay to put a 12 or 24 volt wind turbine and the situation with low wind? I realize the part the resistance of the load plays in the scenario, I just wondered about another scenario I have with yours well wind and if I wanted to get the 300 watts that I need would it be advisable to go to a 600 watt 24 volt turbine to try to get near my needed consistent 300 watts in a 12 volt system? If not, which one of these more efficient Chinese turbines would get me closest to my 300 watts I need in a 15 mile an hour wind?
Are those 3 phase wind generators and that controller setup suitable for charging a Lithium Iron battery bank?
Yes. Best method is using supplied controller, slave batteries and a good MPPT
@@JOHNDANIEL1 Do you a schematic of how you suggest this is wired up for lipo batteries?
John appreciate all the info would like to build controller like yours is it possible to get schematic of box
Heres a DIY option like mine, from same sourcing, to use direct rectification & to divert over volting for 100% charge of batteries you will need these. amzn.to/37HN2OR 100A SQL & a OPC / W&S amzn.to/2MTUjCU A All purpose long life controller. With that on the 500 watt turbines you will need about 400 watts of diversion load, and a 60 amp Dc to DC SSR relay. If you need best option on it just ask. J
Is there something I can add for a turbine charge lithium iron batteries.
For lithium batteries you need to get the MPPT controller that's battery selectable.
Thanks.
Got an mttp controller. Waiting for my 48 volt 5 blade to be delivered. Thanks again for all the info you post.

@@JOHNDANIEL1 Thanks john for your rapid reply. I have wind speed records for my intended location in Tasmania, and the average is only about 6mph gusting to about 18mph so looks like 500w 5blade. Cheers Steve.
I have the controller from windsun, didn't realize as looked different to yours featured in video!! Cheers Steve
So you don't recommend the controller that comes with the Chinese turbine? Why?
I do recommend them, just not for multiple wind turbines. None of them as dead accurate in braking voltage settings so one will get the feedback from another turbine and toast itself. And none can actually handle these dang Wuixi turbines, you need a 400+ on a 300w turbine, especially in my area you may need a 500 capable. When this company Wuixi went to the AFL style magnet they became REAL producers. So its not smart to use the 300 that comes with a 300 turbine, get a 400 as a spare to put in when this little thing kills the 300 controller!!
@@JOHNDANIEL1 The bad part about the ones that come with the turbines is that they are non-adjustable. Depending on your loads and solar panels installed, the wind turbine controller will often be in braking mode.
Also John, do I need to Install a diode in order to use the shunt? I installed the shunt just after the rectifier. The only reading I get from my digital meter is the systems battery voltage unless the wind generator exceeds the battery voltage then I pick up the additional voltage, I’m not reading any amps or wattage?
Your shunt main lugs should be between the Negative on the rectifier and battery. Your field wires should be as seen in my controller. Yellow/black unless you have a different color. The 2 red/black are to power the meter as well as show voltage and go only to battery. But it is possible you have a bad meter. I think It would be a good idea I do a video on 4 or 5 models since wiring differs on some to show correct millivolt alignment and where in stream to mount them. You gave me a good idea on them and even though others have done videos for things like car stereos or motors with amp meters, a basic all uses video needs to be there to help.
Can you go to my channel and check out the video? I’ve tried 2 meters and my multi-meter and still no amp readings? I even gave you credit on the breaking system that I copied from you.
Јоhn Daniel can you go to my channel and check out my wiring video as to where I have the shunt installed? Also, can’t I just replace the dump load with a dead short as a auto break?
Looked it over, I suggest swapping the small wires around on the shunt. Try both ways using this method of meter testing. If you have a 6 to 15 amp battery charger clip its clamps on the output of the rectifier leaving everything still like it is, You do not need to disconnect the turbine or change anything. Plug in the charger, note the volts rise and then check your readings. Secondly your length of run from turbine to control board, how long is it, are you using 8awg in that length at least? Loss may be significant in that distance.
25 foot pole and 40 foot run to garage, I’m using 8g all the way to the rectifier
what is ohms between any 2 of the 3 phase of a 12v 600 watt win alt , lots volts but no amps will run 5 watts at 12v run up to 25 mph 20 v dc but that is a 20 year elec eng. /
Did you watch the results, in amps? Or I must be going blind or your comment came from some one else's video.
no just the stator res ohms between any 2 this is one like you put on the small pull behind rv trailer about 6 months to a year ago
Tell me something do you balance your blades before you put up your turbines
Yes. I use a balancing unit I designed about 8 years ago and a poly acrylic adhesive to add weight if needed. Luckily the Wuixi Air ( these) are within 2 grams on average. And if they are not, Green E will send you a replacement quick in my experience.

Do you sell your controllers at all
Good morning.At least here it is morning.I m trying to install a 400 W windmill to give me extra power on the solar.I connected the charge controller they delivered with it ( FW 12/24 ) but i must be doing something wrong.when i connect it immediately on the batteries the controller immediately starts to brake.I m having a 24 v system but i only mesure 12.9 till 14.5 v comming out of the controller when i put a solar charge controller between the rectifier and the batteries.What am i doing wrong. Maybe it is not a bad idea to make a video with all the stupid things you can do wrong for dumbasses like me.
The controller has to be connected to the battery bank first, if your solar is affecting its reading do the connection at night. Then connect the 3 wires for the turbine to it. If your using a Rectifier you meed a dedicated diversion system, and can only use the controllers battery leads as a spare divert option.
People do get but hurt when you can show a turbine from china making the power as advertised. Pisses off people that think car alternator's or PMG can make 1600 watts!
You should do the same in Aussie Land. The luxury I have is owners buy them on their own study and then am called to install them, my luxury is I get to see what works and fails based on that arrangement and at no product cost to me. I learn warranty, durability and price advantages from my part in the process without loss to me. the result, I get to see whats real instead of hearing shit from a Pottery Huckster on whats real.
John knows his shit that's for sure sheeple are stupid and believe everything they see and hear from con artists from Missouri butt munch Inc.
Do u sell setups... i do not want to buy from that web site.. not shure i csn trust it and like to chat with you about what I need
John do you have a link to your controller boxes you make?
No, I build them on spec for each application. Now that your turbine is built, installed and likely set for use a parts sizing can be applied. You need a 60 amp DC-DC SSR, diversion control to activate it, and 300 watts of resistors possible 400 watts of them if your going to park it high and clear.
Yup I'm adding more height eventually it will go 50 to 60 ft
Cool when can I get it and how much? Do I still get the hill Billy from Idaho discount?

What is your opinion on batcap?
Capacitor batteries?
What is the maximum 12v battery bank size one of the 500 watt turbines can charge?
1000 ah
1,410 AH
Shit mine is to big then
So I would need to remove batteries from the bank or maybe just make 2 banks and use bus bars to make a giant manual switch over.
Or get a bigger wind turbine none of them over 1kw are 12v can I use mppt controllers to run a 48 v?
