Q: Where can I find investors to build a small wind turbine generator in Canada?
Global Kinetic Technology Canada is a start up clean energy company. It’s first project is to build a commercial small wind turbine generator prototype in the 1.5 -3.5 kW range using the SEMA technology from GKT USA under an exclusive agreement for Canadian market.
I will need $100,000.00 US for 10% of the company.
A: Give this a shot – you never know… at the very least you would be on a very popular Canadian TV show and get national exposure…

Q: What are the factors that affect how much electricity a wind turbine generator produces?
What are the factors that affect how much electricity a wind turbine generator produces?
A: Ignoring the efficiencies of the generator and such….
Wind Speed
Air Density
Turbine Area
Blade Design
Q: How do i make a Wind Turbine Generator?
Hi, i need to make a wind turbine generator for my science fair project. Links will be appreciated if you know a website with step-to-step diy. thanks so much!
A: simple. jst take a dynamo and a toy fan. take the wings of this fan and fix it into the shaft of dynamo. place the fan on the direction of blowing wind.
Q: how does a wind turbine generator work?
I think I’ve designed a new wind turbine and I need to start thinking about the generator part. How does an electricity generator work in this case and where might I procure one in the UK?
A: Well, by definition a turbine creates shaft work, which can then be converted to electrical energy through electromagnets.
Q: What items have a motor that is good for a wind turbine generator?
I work at a place where people drop off stuff for free, and I salvage what I can and sell the items for just enough to pay for the electricity bill. I was wondering what kind of items that would normally be no good would have a motor in it that would be good for a wind turbine. As a company that pushes for going green, I think having green energy, by making wind turbines, would be great for this small company.
I’ve read that treadmills have good ones, and older computers. What other things would have them?
A: air conditioners….you can watch a video on www.onlyrenewable.com that shows this.

Q: What does a wind turbine generator consist of?
What is in the actual generator? Magnets etc…
A: you need a way to capture the mechanical energy provided by the wind (the turbine) and you need to transfer that energy to a generator. no diffferent than a normal generator. basically a rotor and a stator with copper wire and magnets that generates the electricity.
Q: How do you make a DIY wind turbine + generator?
I mean ones you can make and use at home, little ones.
A: Check out http://buildurownwindmill.com. There you will find a lot of articles about windmill design. There are also some links from that site that will take you to a site where you can download a step-by-step installation guide with a few video tutorials. I got my guide and am in the process of building mine right now. Good luck!
Q: How would it cost (in INDIA) to set up a small wind turbine generator for home use?
A: I am writing from the US, but I think the answer will be the same. Cost will be dependent upon size and availability of parts. There are places on the web where you could purchase units that could be shipped to you. But what size do you want. How small is “small?”
Other alternatives you might consider are a stirling engine powered by a parabolic reflector. This has the advantage like a wind turbine of potentially producing AC power that would be directly usable. In either event if you needed constant power you may have to consider some sort of storage or alternative power like a generator.
Q: whats the difference between a wind turbine and wind generator?
comparison and contrasting of wind turbines and wind generators.
A: wind turbine is the apparatus that has large blades that rotate when in the wind. This is mechanically connected to an electrical generator of some sort that produces electricity. Wind turbine can mean the part with the blades, or both parts plus the structure that holds the blades.
Wind generator is a fan, something that makes wind, just as electrical generator makes electricity or gas generator makes gas or steam generator makes steam.

Q: what are the materials and procedure in making a very simple and small wind turbine without a generator?
i can’t find the right words to ask but what i want is to know the parts and uses of a small wind turbine that can light a light bulb and that it depends on the wind not the generator. i want to make a small wind turbine that is handy and the parts are very affordable..it’s ok if it only produce a little amount of electricity…pls suggest asap..tnx in advance!!
A: Don’t bother. The bigger the wind turbine the higher the energy returned on energy invested ratio becomes. (in the same location).
You are definately wasting your time on a small wind turbine, you will not be able to power a lightbulb in the strongest of winds.
The way a wind turbine makes it’s energy is by spinning something which makes an alternating current, I have no idea how a direct current could be made by something spinning such as the wind turbine.
Q: Buliding a wind turbine generator?
Can anyone give me the link to a good site with the step by step procedures of making a wind turbine generator. It is for a school science fair so not something with very expensive parts or anything.
Also, I am testing what shaped blades generate the most electricity. Is that a good idea or should i go with something like what material or what shape?
A: Almost impossible to build a working generator without a good machine shop and lots of experience. Instead, look for an old auto alternator, or perhaps a generator that operates a bicycle light and runs from the rear wheel.
edit: to clear up terminology issues, the generator is the part that actually generates the electricity. The wind turbine is the part with the large blades that turn in the wind. It is connected to the generator via gears or belts.
You state that you want to build (just) the generator….

Q: where can I find details on how to make a wind turbine power generator?
I want to build a generator as a hobby, but to produce at least 12V. I want to build a self generating power supply with at least 3000 watts of power.
A: go to instructables.com

Q: which generator is best suited for small wind turbine generators( in range of 5-7 kw-hr) ?
Usually if the question is “which generator best suits wind turbine, then the answer ll be induction generator . But what i ask here is mentioned for small range. Also the output will be rectified before use. so whether it is better to use DC generators instead of any . compare the characteristics of both generators. Please Professional answer this questions. Don’t give a fake answer
A: And my question to you is “will your system run in island-mode or network-mode?”
For the first case you have to use DC with battery backup, and induction in the second case.

Q: Wind Turbine Generator Max Power Output?
How do you determine a generators max ouput? for example if you have constant controlled windspeeds of 50mph and are pre calculating the experiment with a wind turbine of 8 inch diameter blades (3 blades) what is the max output of a turbine that small? at 50mph, or 40mph, and how did you get/calculate your data? thank you for your help…
A: You can estimate the power output. Read my answer to the following question:
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Au6IFN8nh3zOXtfGJ6b1C3Xty6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20090411175111AAFNqbg&show=7
The parameters that you don’t know, you are allowed to assume as long as you state them as assumptions. In your case, you could say:
Assumptions:
air density = 1.29kg/m^3
turbine efficiency (power coefficient) = 0.30
The references show how to calculate the power. You will end up with a formula such as:
P = 0.5 x rho x A x V^3 x 0.30
However, the references use metric units, so you will have to convert appropriately.
Hope that helps.
Q: What is a good Wind Turbine motor/generator?
I heard Ametek is really good, but expensive.
What is an optimal size, voltage, amps, RPM, etc, That I should be looking for to build my own wind turbine.
A: Here’s a website with a lot of good info for homebrew turbine makers.
If you could tell more about exactly what you’re looking to build. Is this a school science project or are you looking to get you house off the grid?
