​Though I ended up breaking the outer frame due to lack of patience. The circuit works .. Thank you.

Very good friend! He was efficient for its size. I liked the idea to extend the helix. Congratulations. Simple to manufacture.

My daughter used your tutorial and won 2nd place in her school's science fair! Thank you!

Yes, should work. It might have a higher cut in speed with the lower voltage though ?

cool build. thanks for showing exactly how you re-wired the fan

Thanks, they were marked on the pcb as W1,W2,W3. I think one is a centre tap on the coils, so I only used two of the connections. But if they're not marked you can just see where the wires go into the pcb from the coils. They're usually the biggest pads on the pcb.

Again stunning work and so simple I love simplicity :-) Greetings from Belgium Erik

this is great inspiration, thanks so much!! I've gone onto your site, too and very impressed :D

Very good work! Thank you for sharing. Dan

what would happen if the fan was rotating the other way? Although I don't understand why you had to rewire the fan, I loved this tut, because it was clear what you're doing. Way to go, hope there are many more to come. ;-)

As there is a ac dc converter attached so the power output will be the same.

buena obra habrá que realizarlo para probarlo en ejecución muchas gracias amigo, thanks friend, good work

wow pretty cool, im planing to build one of those but in a different design..a horizontal wind turbine

do you have to take all the fuses, mosfet, and capacitor out for it to work??

I've been watched it 2 hours ago and right n I have my own.! I buil it and tried it and its awesome, but my fan is only 12v but it works like that.! Great!!

Thanks from Turkey. This project is useful.

So, I noticed that there was some IC and electro-wizadry on the board (before you gutted it) and 3 wires going to the motor. Is it possible that the IC was generating some form of 3-phase? If so, a considerable amount more power could be drained from this motor for the same RPM by using 2-stage bridge rectification. Just a thought.

nice video! im going to make it thanks for sharing and uploading!

hood work sir but could u show me the diagram of the rectifier u built coz I m confused

You do need one, I just didn't show how to build it in the video as I couldn't show it well. It's mentioned at 4:03 HTH

if you put an array of transformers, might it generate 220 volts?

Hi, can you please tell me which 2 points you connect to on the coils? Also what is the circuit is like exactly? I tried with a small fan but I could not get even 0.5V with hand spinning. thx

i always like simplicity to the point like this

Hi Mate, I really liked what u did. I need some help. can you tell me, how to store the energy (electricity) generated by the wind on to a battery or so.... like storing the electricity into an empty battery thru wind power

On my DC ,CPU when I took it out ,I saw diode ,and the CPU is not three phase ,I think one phase .Do I need to re solder and make the system like Dc

one question. so fan is making AC current? it says on my fan that its dc , but it produce AC?

thanks for replying. is there other way to change AC to DC cuz i cant find diodes to make a rectifier. if without a rectifier it will just blink right?

how did you know where to solder on the motor?

How and where to connect the rectifier to the pcb of the fan. Confused plz. Help me need to submit it after 4 days . And how to make rectifier ?

Free energy great stuff well done.

Awesome work!!! love it

Hello! I am currently making this for my Science Project! I am confused on the part of building a rectifier, how did you connect it? Thank You so much! :)

Why do you have to re-solder the wires? I just tried out my 12V PSU fan and I seem to get some volts out of if I just stick red and black wires to the electrometer and start hand spinning the fan. As you might have guessed, I'm rather new into this. Thanks in advance if someone enlightens me in this =)

Hi mate ! How do u reconnect and resolder the wires? How do you know.where to replace the wire?

is it possible to up the voltage with a step up transformer?

what would something of this size power?

Ahh, that makes sense. Do you do requests for tutorials? I have an idea.

very confused about this, would like to know all the materials needed for this and which material is which in the video, please get back to me as soon as possible as it is for a school project.

is that rectifier thing significant? what is its function?

How would you convert AC to DC without diodes? The standard way to covert AC to DC is with a rectifier, which is made up of 4 diodes.

Oh , the tick wire that makes the tail and everything , plus the whole unit has another bord attached to it .

same question i think it was replaced by the brown one (?)

this really help my daugthers project this is the best

did you use any diodes on this project to convert AC to DC

hi, the fan can charge a samll battery??

hello i wand to ask you about your electronic circuit you have used here and what components

i made this but the problem is that the fans dont move as fast as shown in the vid y n how so..? please let me know the reason

Also, while that kid may be off to do some crazy job somewhere manipulating space-time and matter, the girl will surely get a head start on such an interesting and innovative industry.

Hello specallez, I'm really exciting to try this my own, but I have a very little knowledge about electronic.I have few question, 1. is it possible to charge my phone with 2000mah battery using this pico wind generator?how long it takes from empty to full charge? 2. Can I use dc brushless motor from my rc helicopter? what other components are needed to make it work? 3. I really want to learn some basic about electronic from you, is there any blog or web with DIY project you've already made?thank you

What ever happen to the white wire when all done you only use black and red ??

i use 12v fan instead of 24v fan. it doesnt work, anyone can explain why?

Sooo you dont need a rectifier this way?

Hi there! thanks so much for uploading, Love it! Whats the name of this box fan? thanks for reply in case you do ;)

If I wanted to charge my phone with this. Would I need AC or DC?

Some kind of watermill or hydroelectric charger. I live in a really wet area with streams and rivers and lakes everywhere.

WOW you are the best btw can i use a 12v fan?? please reply me

i keep thinking about electric cars having a wind turbine on the top to charge the battery as you drive? or am i just being stupid?

What is the maximum powe that you get from this generator?

It's all about the motor and the power of whatever is running it (be it a stirling engine or wind, water from river etc...) he shows the voltage later in the video, not sure about current.

Rectifier diode of any type can be use? Sorry my bad am not good on electrical stuffs but this is definitely want to try. Any link or where to buy?

yeah any rectifier diode will do, but try to find schottky diode BAT85, i watched other vid and he used that diode.

When you rewire ,are you going to get the AC instead of DC right ? I messed up already 3 CPU one with DC 2 with 3 phase. phase ,

Bimo Pppsi I’m wondering about the White wire as well, if it isn’t needed why was the 3 wires( including the White wire) re soldered?. Then after all 3 wires were soldiered I could only see the 2 negative and positive( black n Red). So what happened to the White wire?

Yeah I used four BAT85 diodes. shown at 4:03.

Like to work great job wonderful video keep up the good work good dude

Awesome tut btw.

Thanks for your help

amazing, thats really good

Does not need to use diodes to convert AC to DC

They are needed.

no as you saw it only gos upp to 6 volts if you want to power a fan with that windmill you will need the windmill to charge a 12 v batery and then from th e battery connect it to the fan and it will work but i recommend a bigger battery more than 12 volts ;D

would any one of those computer box fan work!?

watch it again and pay attention on what he is saying, after he solder all three wires, he said, " try among the three wires which will give the higher output voltage and then eliminate the unnecessary wire" by unnecessary i think he meant that eliminate the connection that would only give lower output voltage.

It's just a bridge rectifier. Search google, there's millions of copies of this circuit on the interent
