Super. Will be nice to see it in the action :) I did bought the generator for the 12v turbine. Now is 48v 1000w. With the 3m/s wind get me 58w with the small blades (55cm). I ordered now the 82cm one on Ali… the thing is the screws are not metric so I have to size them to metric and screw the generator to the turbine. All working perfectly- thank you for the inspiration and tips :)
Yeah, the right size of the wires makes a huge difference. It is better to go a bid bigger than smaller. I have had many wind turbines and I have to say that your FT1000L is a great one. It is difficult to find one that produces some power bellow 5m/s. And my lats wind turbina was a 1500w 48V ista breeze. What a disaster, completely useless. It is a toy. I cannot understand how ista breeze is so popular. Lots of people lying on Face book, but I don't know why they do that. My next purchare is going to be the FT1000L. I don' t want to go with the 2000 cos my tower is not ready for such a big turbine. Many thanks for your videos😊
You are welcome. Please also consider the M8 wind turbine with 2.4 m dia (from the same Wuxi FengTeng factory, and don't forget to say Hi to Jessica from me). It has a slightly curved blades with a much better startup area, and it will literally start spinning at 1.5m/s with some production happening already on 2. The only things you have to think about with the M8 are: 1. lengthenign a tail slightly, +35-40 cm 2. it will not furl away from the strong gust, as no foldable tail there I am planning to get one for myself as well, just a bit later.
I have an M8 1000W. Not bad but it need some maintenace every now and then. The problem with it is than the gen has silicon on its 3 sizes and it quite messy to open it up. I prefer te FT 1000W specially cos its furly tale. I like to sleep at ease with strong wind
What is your tower height for your 1000 W??? I am building a new tower that is about 8.5 m but it is elevated 6 m above a Lake shore. I get pretty good winds as I have uninterrupted Lake for almost 10 km. It looks like you are in a pretty good situation. I'm looking to see your results and compare them to mine. I should have the cement foundation poured next weekend. Looking forward to seeing your whole set up. Subscribed.
thanks! for FT-1000 it's 9m, and I will be redoing it to gain +2 m and get the folding mechanism, as currently it's about impossible to do the maintenance on the machine. for FT-2000L2 it will be 12m foldable tower, 9m aside the existing 9m tower. and in the prevailing wind direction those two will not interfere one with another. reason for those bigger heights required is that my house is 10m high and is causing turbulence.
Great channel! Cheers from Spain. I am interested in the FT1000L model. Do you know the real weight? Different manufactures say different weight Many thanks for your videos 😊
yes, real FT-1000 is 2.5m in diameter, weight is approximately 48kg. I say approximately, since I haven't measured it exactly during unpacking. But here you may see how it was unpacked last year: czcams.com/video/_hJwzOEBVFs/video.html It is literally same, but smaller than the one you've seen in this video. It goes quite strong, as you may have seen from my videos, but bear in mind that I am using a very thin wire (2.5mm2 only) and my losses on the high output side are up to 30-40%. on smaller 3-4 m/s winds, the losses are 2-4% maybe only. So if you will fix this mistake only, and give it a shorter distance to the inverter/controller and give it a cable of at least 6mm2 - you will get a much better result.
I have a question about ali ba ba. All manufacturers make the same models of wind turbines. The only thing they do is change the name. What about copyright? Are there differences in wind turbines or are they all the same even if they are made in different factories? The same qualities?
Copyright is not an issue here. You have to understand how China works. consider the whole country as a factory. same brands can be made on different factories without any issues, also same factory can be producing several brands, that's pretty common. there are factories that behave differently though in terms of how do they approach sales. Smaraad is shit for example. Greef and WuxiFengTeng - are the most nice ones, since they don't overexagerrate their turbines output numbers. There might be some tiny differences to the wind turbines still, not much, but tiny ones. f.e. the FT-1000L I have - has a steel hub (and I have no idea which exact factory produced it). the FT-2000L2 which I definitely got from WuxiFengTeng has a very different aluminum alloy casted hub. There also was a tiny difference in the packaging, not a lot, but still. If someone asks me where and who to buy from - go buy from Jessica form the Wuxi FengTeng factory - you will get the attitude, help, and for sure you will get a good product. Don't forget to say her hi from me (from Bogdan from Ukraine) ))
Can't wait to see it in action!
Nice brother , interesting to see how you get on with it, hardly any wind in the UK for a few weeks now, cheers from England, Gavin !!!!
thanks!
hm, I thought it's almost always windy in the UK, otherwise how are you getting that much rain usually?

It will be in action. It just takes time to have everything prepared correctly. And to do it correctly I have to fix some of my older mistakes along
I made a nice tail out of some galvanised sheet with a grinder.
shiny one?
@@ModernUkrainianHomestead it's not shiny it was made from scrap 😄
shiny scrap then ))
I thought the grinder polished it to the shiny state, mate.

makes total sense

Do you have a video showing the power output from it?
not yet

That would be a notch?
likely
Was bringt die beste Windturbine,wenn sie sich nicht dreht..
as I told you - need to make the tower first, and that takes time. it will be put in action in 1.5-2 months probably
