Wind and Solar Power How-To Number 2
By
This is the second video of a small power setup using an AirX windmill and 3 80 watt solar panels. For those that are interested in solar and wind power and would like their first clue on how to start this may be of some help.

Cool.
Did you buy the wind turbine or make that?
Also, where do I find these type of 6 volt batteries?
Thank you!

you need to clean up the wiring. mite start a fire.
August 25th, 2010 at 2:52 pm
its 3*(2*6v) [=12v] for the battery?
August 25th, 2010 at 3:41 pm
where did you buy your panels from?
August 25th, 2010 at 4:26 pm
That is really cool. You are a very smart man.
Good job!!!!

Way to go Dude, I like your set up ver much. I own property in Oklahoma and am planing to do the same thing your doing now. Your video boosted my confidence. I have a year round stream running through my property will be able to add a little with that.. Thanks Again

3 solar panels, the controllers the meters a 3′ dish antenna, a 5.8 Ghz digital radio and a tractor. Total value around $4000.

Hey I’m jealous. Your’s is pretty
No just kidding. Great video and great setup.
I am looking forward to setting up a new system.
It was a great learning experience. I will do things different the 2nd time around for sure. One of which will be making things neat and orderly.
Thanks Skip!

Dave, nice set up. Check out mine, it powers all my lights and a 19″ color TV at night.

Keep dreaming. That’s how good things get invented.

have you found a way to make it cost effective
has anyone ever used several car alternaters to recharge battery. thought about getting 5 or 6 alternaters hooked up together running of 20 hp gas motor to power electric car. Know of any place to purchase electric motor for a small car. Can’t seem to find a good website. PS this plan is just a thought maybe a bad one but a thought.

I have to admit. Making your own electricity is not cheap. Large power companies have the economy of size on their side. There is no way you are going to do it cheaper than them.
But the trade off (as you inferred) is independence or the illusion of it anyway
Water power is no magic wand. As with everything, it sounds good on paper.

My dream is to live in the country off grid without relying on any utility companies. I am dissapointed in the watts that your setup is giving you. What about hydro electricity from a stream/creek/river? I live in Oregon where there are many country properties with some of these.
August 25th, 2010 at 8:16 pm
nope… thats cool
August 25th, 2010 at 8:28 pm
Is this a sentence?
The solar electric system powered a radio tower.
August 25th, 2010 at 8:46 pm
what is the solar power powing anyways light?
August 25th, 2010 at 9:28 pm
Hey look in a mirror. I think you have something to get cleaned.
August 25th, 2010 at 10:20 pm
Clean your mouth up
August 25th, 2010 at 11:14 pm
i cant see shit dude clean that shit up!!!!!!
August 26th, 2010 at 12:04 am
yep. the guy who stole my stuff had a warrant for his arrest. Meth possession.
What all did they steal?
August 26th, 2010 at 12:46 am
I’d love to find out who stole everything. It seems it’s the way of the world lately. I guess all the druggies need to keep stoned to handle life or something.
