Wind Turbine DIY Tutorial How to Make
I have been thinking to make wind turbine (a large horizontal axis one) since I first published a small wind turbine video on youtube and a blog post here a few years back. That video went viral. Then I decided to make one large functional wind turbine. The former didn’t give me even 1.5 volts. I know building a medium sized wind turbine will take a lot of time to complete. But, It didn’t, I’ve Just finished a medium sized wind turbine with only 5 days, 2 hours per day after my regular work. By the way, Here I am going to give you an overview of my experience in making this wind turbine Project.

Propeller Making
- Take 8 inch, 4mm PVC Pipe
- Cut it into blade shape 1:2:30 Ratio as shown in the figure
- Smoothen the edges.
- Take a 3 Inch washer and weld GI Pieces on It.
- Screw PVC blades On it.
Turbine Base Making
The tail will help the propeller to face the wind. As a result, we will get maximum output. We can cut aluminum sheet very easily to any shape. Cut it to a proper shape.
- Take a Johnson wheel and remove the wheel
- Weld it to one side of a 1" square GI Pipe (1.5m)
- Connect bearings in a Piece of GI pipe and Place it on the johnson wheel.
- Weld a hose clip on it to fix dynamo.
