How to Make a Wind Turbine

٢٠١٨٠١٠٧٠٠٤٩٣٠_IMG_2977.JPG

Hello everyone, here I will present for you a creative idea of generating electricity by using a wheel. Briefly, in this project I mix between the past and the present by merging the old wooden form of a wheel with the modern generating system which mainly based on the renewable resources of the nature like wind and water(winter).

The basic element in my project is the wooden wheel that causes the rotational motion of the dynamo and generates electricity, and here we deduce the importance of the circular shape of the wheel in a totally different from what we know that it is used for transportation in cars,bicycle....

So, many things in our life have different uses that can be useful for us.

Materials:

  • sticks of wood
  • wooden rods
  • dynamo
  • lamp
  • wire
  • faucet

  • plastic paper
  • rubber rings

Tools:

  • drill
  • hole saw bit 2''=51mm
  • glue gun
  • marker
  • electric scotch
  • spray

Using a drill saw 2 wooden circles of daimeter 2"

Glue the Two Circles

Add the Wooden Sticks

Glue the sticks to the circular center, by adding 8 sticks in each side and each pair is

collinear.

Add the Terminals

٢٠١٨٠١٠٦٠٣٥٥٢٨_IMG_2875.JPG
٢٠١٨٠١٠٦٠٣٥٥٣٧_IMG_2876.JPG

add each terminal of a stick to it's parallel terminal in the other side.

Connect the Diagonals of the Wheel

٢٠١٨٠١٠٦٠٤٢١٢٤_IMG_2882.JPG

add another stick between each consecutive diagonals.

Paint the Wheel

Set Up the Dynamo

٢٠١٨٠١٠٦٢٠٢٥٥٠_IMG_2924.JPG
٢٠١٨٠١٠٦٠٤٣٣١٤_IMG_2889.JPG

put the dynamo in the center of the wheel.

Add Rubber Rings

٢٠١٨٠١٠٦٢٠٣١٣١_IMG_2927.JPG

add rubber rings to prevent access of dust or wires to the dynamo rod.

Cut the Plastic Paper

٢٠١٨٠١٠٦٠٦٤٤٣١_IMG_2896.JPG
٢٠١٨٠١٠٦٠٧٠٧٠٧_IMG_2898.JPG

Cut the plastic papers of size 20/16 cm.

Add the Plastic Papers to the Wheel

٢٠١٨٠١٠٧٠٠٥٨٤٩_IMG_2988.JPG
٢٠١٨٠١٠٦٢١٢٩٣٥_IMG_2945.JPG

add a plastic paper on each of the 8 rods.

Stand for the Generating System

band the dynamo with the stand.

Wiring

wire the dynamo with the lamp.

Put the Project in the Test Field

Testing It

Here the wind was the source that the generator depends on to light the lamp. the lamp lighting depends on the force of the wind or rain.

Additional Useful Source From Nature

add a faucet to a gallon to collect water for plants by putting it under the project if the weather was rainy so that will also generates electricity by the force of rain.
