WINDMAX home wins turbine system includes generator with slip ring, hub, 3 blades, nose cone, tail, wire connector, Bolt-on Pole Collar, wind/solar hybrid controller and screws/bolts/washers/nuts needed to assemble the wind generator

Hidden cost of old style wind turbines with traditional mechanical furling Low Efficiency Blades:

1. Even with larger swept area, due to the low production quality and poor aerodynamic design, these old style blades can’t capture the power in the wind efficiently. see below table for details.

2. Poor performance:The furling mechanism is not responsive to the constant changes of wind speed and wind direction. The furling system kicks in either too early or too late to go back to normal operation. This results in poor performance.

3. High Maintenance cost: The furling components are easy to wear out and break. They need lots of maintenance…therefore they are not a good long term investment.

4. Heavy Weight: wind turbines with traditional mechanical furling are heavy…therefore they have higher shipping cost, hard to install and maintain.

5. High Noise Level:Old style wind turbines with traditional mechanical furling is developed without noise control in mind, NOT neighborhood friendly.

6. Low survival wind speed: 78 mph (35 m/s) survival wind speed can’t withstand high winds without damage and turbine needs to be taken down when wind speed exceeds 78 mph, output will diminish during high wind speed events.

WINDMAX Residential Wind Turbine system with slip ring has high efficiency, electromagnetic speed limitation, blade over-speed braking and hybrid solar/wind power output capability with 25 year maintenance free life span, it is built for residential/industrial land, RV, water pumps, and marine applications.

Design Features

Advanced over-speed control mechanism vs. old style furling

Problems with old style furling:

Old style furling works well in an ideal, wind tunnel test environment. Realistically, wind speed and wind direction changes frequently and mechanical furling doesn’t have instantaneous response to actual changes of wind status. Especially in bad weather conditions, small wind turbine furling components wear out quickly, therefore, increases maintenance costs and shorten wind turbine service life or causes system failure.

Most of old style furling based wind turbines have three moving parts. It is the moving parts for mechanical over-speed protection that wear out and require a lot of maintenance. Operation of furling based wind turbines would lead to mechanical abrasion, cause vibration, malfunction, and failure of the wind turbine and other devastating results in the long run.

The rule of thumb for a reliable wind turbine is that the fewer the moving parts, the more reliable the wind turbine is.

Windmax Solution:

Windmax H series adopted Innovative over-speed control so it improves the reliability by abandoning the moving parts for mechanical over-speed protection and minimizing the moving parts to only two.

Innovative over-speed control design of the Windmax H series:

Windmax H series speed limitation abandoned the traditional failure-prone mechanical furling system and solved safety and reliability problems facing most small wind turbines. Advanced speed limitation of Windmax H series is achieved through advanced electromagnetic speed limitation supplemented by aerodynamic speed limitation by blade deformation. Electromagnetic braking is used in combination with Aerodynamic braking to reduce the rotational speed of the generator.

Combination of Electromagnetic braking and aerodynamic braking maximizes energy capture by extending Windmax H series turbine’s operating speed range into higher speed winds and lower speed winds which are missed by the old style wind turbines.

1. Electromagnetic speed limitation:

Controller will monitor the wind generator rotation through the wind generator output voltage and frequency, and will timely control wind generator rotation by generating reverse reluctance torque if necessary, according to different wind conditions and battery status. Electromagnetic control features quick response, high reliability and therefore ensures the entire control system to be highly reliable.

2. Blade aerodynamic braking:

In high wind speed conditions, patented blades will generate a reverse reluctance torque, so that the blade efficiency falls and the blade rotation speed starts to decline. With the continuing reluctance torque, blade rotation speed is limited to a certain range to prevent damage to the wind turbine blades.

Higher performance at low wind speed Problem with small wind turbine system on the market today The most challenging problem facing small wind turbine systems is that power output is very low or close to nothing under low wind condition. The wind speed in most locations don’t stay at rated wind speed all the time, wind turbine actually operates at wind speed lower than rated wind speed at most of the time. In order to have good overall energy output, it is critical for small wind turbine to output as much as power at low wind speed. WindMax Solution: Strong Neodymium magnet PMA, unique winding and multi pole design reduces the start-up torque of the alternator that assures the WINDMAX-H series can generate electricity at low wind speed. WindMax system components such as wind generator and blades are designed to output more electricity at low wind speed than other small wind turbines on the market today. WindMax system’s excellent power output under low wind speed results in greater energy production yield and lowest ownership cost.

Wind-solar hybrid power generation wind turbine system

Problem with single source renewable energy system:

1st Generation single source renewable energy systems such as solar systems or wind turbines don’t use renewable energy efficiently. Wind turbines creates less output during the summer, whereas during the winter the solar panels will produce less output.

Windmax Solution:

Our Windmax hybrid solar-wind turbine integrated wind and solar power sources capture the most energy in all conditions. Since solar and wind energy availability differs by locations, seasons and climates, solar and wind energy can be mutually complementary in that solar and wind hybrid systems make full use of wind and solar energy together to generate as much power as possible compared to a single energy source for power generation. A solar & wind hybrid system is more cost-efficient than wind or solar alone.

Easy-to-install, light weight, compact, reliable and maintenance-free wind turbines, designed for both land-based and marine applications.

Problem with old style wind turbine systems:Most old style wind turbines are heavy weight with unpredictable reliability, hard to install and require lots of maintenance. Due to the fact that most installations are in very remote and inaccessible locations, the old style systems make regular maintenance costly and sometimes impractical. Windmax Solution:Windmax H series maintenance free design has a minimum of moving parts with inherent reliability. Our light weight, compact die-casting aluminum alloy generator design makes installation very easy. Rotor blades built with latest advanced thermoplastic engineering and precision injection molding technology is durable and efficient.

WindMax H series components built with advanced technologies Generator:

Generator: The generator is built using high-performance rare earth neodymium permanent magnets, so the alternator is compact and light weight with a high power generating efficiency. The unique winding and multi pole design reduces the start-up torque of the alternator that assures the WINDMAX-H series can generate electricity at low wind speed. The generator features class B insulation, IP55 class protection, and is designed with a sufficient cushion of overload to ensure overall wind turbine reliability.

Generator housing is made with precision cast technology from high strength aluminum to assure a high quality finish. It is designed for various working conditions such as severe climate, sand and salt corrosive environments and marine usage. Aluminum die cast alloys can withstand the highest operating temperatures of all die cast alloys. Ideal for demanding environments, it offers high strength and rigidity along with good corrosion resistance and heat dissipation.

Rotor blades:

Patented Blade design vs. traditional hand made fiber glass blades:

Our Blades are made with the latest thermoplastic engineering and injection mold technologies. The blades are made of mixed reinforced fiber glass and nylon materials. These manufacturing technologies ensure the highest strength, flexibility of blades and consistency of the blade shapes. The blades will automatically slow the turbine in strong winds and reduce noise.

A set of 3 Blades designed to capture as much wind energy as possible. Patented airfoil blade design makes the system run much more efficiently and the rotor blades are made with the latest advanced thermoplastic engineering and precision injection molding technology.

The blades have exceptional consistency and aerodynamic outline with a mass distribution that ensures the rotors operate with nearly no noise and minimal vibration.

The blades feature lower start-up and cut-in speed and begin producing power at 2 m/s or 4.5 mph.

Solar/Wind Hybrid Charge Controller:

This multifunctional Hybrid controller combines the functions of AC to DC rectifier, load control and dump load control for wind and/or solar systems.

Solar And Wind Power: A Solution For The Homes Energy Needs

wind power
One big factor that hinders people in their quest for alternative energy sources is the amount of money involved. Past experiences have proven that one will have to count years and thousands of dollars on investment before any profit is realized in building a solar or a wind power system. Nonetheless, there is but another means to utilize the abundant natural energy that we have at a relatively cheaper price. It is more economical in the sense that you will install the system yourself and need not hire an outside company to do it for you.

Ultimately, the advantages of solar and wind power must first be discussed. A household should have both systems since it is not guaranteed that the sun will always shine o that the wind will always blow. At night when there is no sun, you can still produce free electricity through your wind power generator.

The foremost benefit of solar power is the efficiency that it brings especially when the weather is mostly sunny. In addition, there are no movable components making it easier to maintain. If the area where you are from has the sun present 80% of the time, then it is far better to use solar panels for your energy source. Nonetheless, it is still better to have both the wind and the sun for your homes energy needs.
On the contrary, wind power or wind generator is of greater benefit if your home is located in an area where there is a lot of wind. In most cases, wind turbines are built up above the tree line to make sure that enough wind is acquired. If the wind speed is 5 miles per hour or more, this can already generate electric power. Furthermore, with the use of a good generator, your electric bill will even lessen drastically.
For the abovementioned systems, you have the option to choose whether your system will be directly connected to your power grid (this makes your meter rotate backwards when there is more energy produced by your system) or if you intend to store the extra electricity into batteries with high capacity. The electric power that will be produced unfortunately is in DC form of current, therefore, a converter is needed in order to transform the DC current into AC that is being utilized in the home.
You have to remember that you can build your solar or wind power generator at a minimum cost. You can take advantage of the kits that are sold in the market nowadays. Moreover, you can research from websites about the set up instructions and improvements. Constructing your own solar and wind power generator is a good idea in line with todays economic crisis. It has been proven to be both economical and effective.

* What Is Solar And Wind Power?
It may seem like a basic question, but it is good to understand the principle fully. Solar energy is basically energy from light. So the parts to residential solar energy systems take the light photons, and convert them into electric.

This applies with wind power also; however, there is a marked difference with how they operate. Basically the wind power generators have turbines which turn with the power of the wind, with a generator, this produces electric which when converted to a suitable voltage and amps, will provide your home with electric, and all for free!

The difference between solar and wind power, is that the Sun’s light also provides heat in the form of ultraviolet rays. This can also be used to heat water, without the need to generate electric.

* Why Use Solar And Wind Power To Power Your Home?
Because solar energy is solar energy, the source is from our Sun. This makes it free energy! As this is fantastic, considering that if we could collect all the light emitted onto Earth in 1 hour, we would have enough energy for humanities entire needs for a year!

That is big, and when you do your bit, and utilize solar power or wind power, you ultimately help in creating a better world, with free energy! Wind power is caused from the tides, so again we have a lot of potential to make use of these sources of energy.

* How To Get Solar And Wind Power For Your Home?
There are many companies springing up to help you get solar and wind power for your home. They can help you find the right equipment, and even may be able to give you advice about selling your excess energy!

* Tips To Getting Solar And Wind Power For Residential Homes!

Solar and wind power for residential homes is not cheap. The equipment can be expensive, and take years to recoup your investment. Luckily there are many grants that can help you get solar power for the home or wind power for the home at a much better price, than if you had to pay for it all yourself.

Did you know that you can resell your excess energy to the power companies? Not all will buy your excess energy, but there are a few companies who do. For example, in the UK nPower buys green energy.

U.s. Wind & Solar Electricity Generators Desperately Needed!

wind generator for the home
Do you know how long a train car full of coal will power the average size electricity generating plant? The answer is a whopping 20 minutes per coal car. A train coal car holds from 3,800 to 4,400 cubic feet of coal.
The United States has 620 electricity generating plants as of January 2007. Electrical demand is at an all time high and climbing. The cost of electricity has increased dramatically over the years.

The electrical industry powers more than 175 million computers and the electrical needs of over 200 million cell phones. Computers consume 13% of the total electricity used. Electrical consumption is expected to grow by 45% by 2030. Americans homes have become much bigger over the years which have contributed to the increased demand.
Did you know that Solar & wind generators supply only 0.2% of the energy consumed by Americans? Have you ever thought of unplugging from the electrical grid for good altogether or for the most part? All you need is knowledge of wind generating or solar equipment.
There are people building their own systems for around 200 dollars. All that is required is the right knowledge and some extra time. The components are readily available in your area for much less than most people think.
The useful life of a wind generator is around 30 years. Studies have shown that the noise from a residential wind generator is about the same as a household refrigerator. Wind generators have a cut-in speed of around 7 miles an hour of wind. Some will require a little less wind to operate.
Many states have rebate or tax credit programs to incourage people to move forward with alternative energy. Credits are also available from the federal government. If you live within 2 miles of an airport there will likely be a height restriction in place. Towers that are less than 200 feet tall do not require lights on them.
Solar panels that are built at home or purchased are often used in combination with a wind generator. Then you are covered for the days that there is not enough wind but plenty of sunshine is available to produce the much needed electricity. If the restrictions in your area forbid the use of a wind generator then you could use a solar panel by it self to cut the electric bill down. All you need to do is acquire the knowledge, set aside the time, and get with it saving money.

Build Your Own Domestic Wind Turbine

Building your own domestic wind turbine is not as difficult as you may think. However forethought and planning will make all the difference in how effective your turbine wind generators are at providing power.

When looking to build you own wind turbine there are a few things you should consider first.

Your total power requirements – this will determine balde size and number of turbines
How windy is my site – Reduce the initial estimate by 30-50% (we will explain below)
Placement – Do I have good sites on te roof. Will my neighbours or the local council object?

Your Total Power Requirements.
A general rule for calculating how many and what size of domestic wind turbine you require is this. A average modern home consumes around 4,500 kWh. a year. In rough terms a domestic wind turbine with a 2 metre rotor diameter can yield (in good conditions) 500 kWh. per year. Alternatively a domestic wind turbine with a 5 metre rotor diameter can yield closer to 4,500 kWh on a good site. As you see the relationship between rotor diameter and power generation is not linear.

So firstly determine you annual kWh. power needs. From then determine how many and what type of domestic wind turbine you will install. Lastly,determine where will you install them?

How Windy is my site
Many people overestimate the wind speed and quality around their home. This is because the same building, trees and obstacles that make the wind sound like it is howling, are also cutting the force of the wind. This is why we generally lower the estimate on wind speed if the home is in a urban or suburban area. This ensures that we don’t underestimate the number of turbine wind generators we need.

Also look into the different types of turbine wind generator. Research what different types of wind generator will best suit your needs. In terms of building your own domestic wind turbine the key thing is to get a balance between your needs and your skills. It may be easier to build and site more smaller wind generators than a few big 5 metre, or vertical turbine wind generators.

Placement
In simple terms their are two options. On short towers on the roof on buildings. On tall ground towers. The vast majority of domestic wind turbine are placed on the roof, on a tower at a height that ensures the wind’s force is not dampened by the roof structure. They can also of coure be placed on a free standing towers away from any buildings or trees.

The key thing is to determine numbers, size and placement before you begin. In this way little complications like the domestic wind generator being too large for the place you have choosed, or not having enough wind in that spot, can be avioded.

Were to Get Plans for Building a Domestic Wind Turbine
You can find many plans for building turbine wind generators online, however this may not be the perfect solution. Firstly any alternative energy generation plan should have multiple power sources. For this reason you should always at least consider solar to supplement any power, even just installing diy solar water heating will help.

Secondly plans are not experience. You can benefit from others experince if you join an online community, where you can ask questions and share ideas. A plan will not provide this. You can find more information on plans, and a community to share you learning and domestic wind turbine building success with here.

Do It Yourself Wind Turbine Building

In the 20th century people in several countries realized that the pollution of our world is getting serious. Using steam energy, atomic energy or just starting an auto engine pollutes our planet. Earth is in danger but we can give some time to our planet to regenerate! Using wind or sun power is just the first step to a cleaner, eco friendly living space to our children.

After several years scientists and inventors found the way to use clean, natural energy. Our Sun is the best power source we have, but the wind and water elements are important too! The most common answers to energy problems are the sun and the wind. These two elements can be found everywhere on Earth and building power plants based on these renewable energy sources is quite easy. Building a wind turbine is the easiest way to produce energy without any cost. If you want to build a turbine for your home, you will need these things: a generator, minimum 3 blades, a mounting (that keeps the wind’s direction), a tower to get it into the way of the wind and some electronic things like batteries and control systems. At the start, you will need a DC motor to produce electricity. When you choose a model you must choose a low RPM model which can produce 12 volts with 2-300 RPM’s. After you find your motor, you can start the building. You can made blades from an iron barrel or some half cut iron pipe. Just cut a blade from it and lock it symmetrical on the front of the motor. After this, use something thin and massive iron object to mount the structure in the best way of the wind.

Now build the tower to place the motor on the top of it. You can use a massive tree-stump or just weld a massive structure from some iron stick. After you locked the tower on the ground and placed the motor on the top, use the batteries to store the electricity and save the planet for our children!

How To Build A Windmill For Power

Do you want to know how to build a windmill for power? Many people do and there are people all over the internet with advice on how to build a windmill for power, but only a few actually tell you how to build a windmill for power. So if you can’t find the instructions on the internet, what can you do? What if you do find instructions on how to build a windmill for power on the internet, can you trust the instructions to be correct?

The first thing you will want to do is to search for how to build a windmill for power and print off every set of instructions you can find. Then compare them side by side and see how many of them match up. If you find that a lot of them match word for word, or close to it, then they probably all came from the same source, so count those as one set of instructions.

What you are more likely to find are several different sets of instructions on how to build a windmill for power. The reason for this is because there are different considerations for building a windmill for power. The first consideration is how much power you need. A larger windmill will generate more power, but will be more expensive to build. So you need to know how much power you will need and remove the instructions that will net you too little power, or way too much power, unless you want to guarantee you have enough of a supply.

There are different types of windmills that generate power, too. Do you want to know how to build a windmill for power that connects to an existing grid that is available to you? Or, do you need to know how to build a windmill for power that has stand alone capabilities? Once you’ve figured that out, you can get rid of some more instructions.

Now, take a look at the instructions you have left. Do they all seem to correlate with each other and make sense, or are they a jumbled mess that you can’t make heads or tails of? If the latter is the case, maybe you shouldn’t learn how to build a windmill for power from the internet, maybe you should buy a kit with the instructions in the package.
