DIY 12v-100w wind generator
Original blade design Latest improved blade design
Quite a jump in power from the dynohub projects, this DIY wind generator really does provide a good amount of power to charge your 12 volt batteries.
Using readily available scrap parts and a bit of ingenuity it can be constructed for a very little cost, and is comparable, if not better than
commercial products!
I've had a lot of fun making this latest generator, it can produce over 8 amps at 12volts.
