My plan is to get a wind turbine working to
power a electric heater directly.
Doing it this way i can store the heat energy.
When I do not need the heat in my house, i can blow heated air into a insulated large gravel filled heat storage box, continuously circulating and heating the same air. During the night I can use the stored heat energy to heat my house.
I can also add solar heating boxes to add heat to the system when the sun is shining.
I have most of my parts to make the wind generator, a 3000 watt generator off of a gas generator. 3000 watts @ 3600 rpm. I will be pleased to get 1000 watts out of it. I will need to gear the turbine so it can get some decent voltage from average winds. I am planing on a 2 blade design between 10 and 16 ft diameter. As of yet to be calculated,dependent on the gearing i end up using.
This is redneck but, I have a rear axle out of a Jeep Cherokee in my backyard that has a 3.5 to 1 ratio in it, if i could increase the gear ratio more it
would be more effective, regardless it will be a high torque bullet proof gear.
Still in the planing stages and design is everything so i am learning all i can now before i stick this thing together.
