May 11, 20233 yr Interesting... but it's a bit useless when he doesn't mention the peak-power that he has achieved. I doubt it is more than 40 or 50W. The most interesting and professional build that I saw on Youtube is this 2KW project:
May 11, 20233 yr Elektor magazine had a design competition in 1995 and the 1st prize went to a John Dakin who build a 30W wind-powered battery charger using a standard permanent magnet radiator fan motor and a 800mm wooden propeller. The project was claimed to have cost 20 Pounds (excluding the propeller). The electronics use cheap, easily available components and there is even a single-sided PCB layout.
