Shopbot Talks goes Green...

Khalid,

I don't have any experience with that particular design, but I like the simplicity and really only simple tools are needed to construct one.

For low HP (like under 100), piston steam engines are actually more efficient than turbines, in my understanding.

Also add to that the fact that a turbine will require relatively expensive gearing to get the output down to a reasonable rpm.

The actual efficiency depends on a lot of factors; heat differential, condensing/recycling the steam, etc.

@Ron,
The Green Engine is not that stable after watching the actuall video.. It has lot of vibration...so i am not thinking to make it...The steam turbine are high RPM but we have many options..we can use high RPM generators..we can regulate the steam to run them at low RPM...
By the way..i am still in search of new ideas to work with...ma be we can invent some new innovative engine or solution...

@Richard,
Please do not order the plan.

Good luck with the project!

Thank You Normand for informative website and greetings...
I have made the Axial Flux generator and for mounting the 6feet long blades i have to make a plate.Did some more work on my windmill. Attached pictures shows blade mounting plate and some fixtures for blades holding on plate.

I scanned the blade and then made the wooden fixture. In one of the picture you can see piece of blade fit on the wooden fixture.

WindMill was assembled and with a minor wind got it rotation at No load. Still needs wiring and improvement in other things..especially balancing of blades...

My son standing near the windmill.. Windmill rotataing at 5000RPS
................
Its rotating 10RPM or less but my camera shows like .........
My son is at very safe distance i swear...so don't warn me...

You should put a fence or something to keep someone from walking into the blades. I have seen pictures of small plane pilots that had a forgetful moment and that was their last one. I would hate to see that cute little guy hurt. kids have a habit of not paying attention when they are having fun.

Looking good Khalid!

Can't wait to see it finished and what the output is!
